This is actually the Black Label Shiraz. Subdued nose devoid of fruit but with some savoury character. Very dry astringent tannins. Winery said drink 2011-2016. This was never a cellaring wine. Any black fruit characters from its youth have faded to savoury. Again I don't believe the terroir of Wilyabrup is right for Shiraz. Barely a bronze medal.
