2008, by the way. Earthy, truffly, meaty layers with very fresh black fruits. Drinking really well but plenty of time ahead. Really good.

The most unAustralian Shiraz ever. I know Barossa people are doing whole bunch and getting close to this, but this is super old world-dirty barrel-stemmy briny Syrah with moderate alc and depth and health at age 9.

This is the 2004 vintage. Expected more. Lovely cool climate nose - the peak was probably a year or 2 ago. Medium weight.
Nose of meat and hung game. 17.

Dark and brooding. Was a little funky at first but that blew off after 1hr + in decanter. Exotic spice and richness, medium bodied but long and silky on the palate. Another fantastic Beechworth Shiraz!

Simply magnificent. Layers and layers of nuanced spicy earthy flavors. Blew away my European guest. No Aussie fruit bomb this one, can stand toe to toe with the best Northern Rhône has to offer.
