2010 Vintage. This was Coravined 5 months ago and it actually really mellowed it out. This wine still needed time to open up but the tannins were much softer than they were before despite the fact that when we tried it we decanted for hours. Lovely wine that I'm looking forward to trying again in a few years.

Beautiful wine and a heck of a lot more restrained and elegant than we ever expected. Opened in glass for a few hours before tasting. This puppy will age well. Red fruit on the nose and palate.

Time has softened this brute, allowing scorched earth and loamy clay-infused earth to impart a northern Rhone vibe and mature silkiness on this superb Shiraz. Seek this out, it has the stuffing and purity of dark, leathery fruit to age.

Too much for my taste, but impressive.

Blackcurrant, perfectly balanced, smooth as a baby's bottom.
