Here is a delicious 100 point wine from Australia.
Deep inky in color with a short brick rim. Not showing age much.
Strong sweet nose of black fruits with tobacco, raisins, dried fruits, oak, licorice, eucalyptus, light vinaigrette and peppercorn.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity.
Dry on and fruity on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, light vanilla, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, pencil lead, dark coffee and dark chocolates.
Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Shiraz from Barossa Valley. Rich and elegant, with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
A good quality wine that needs a couple of hours to open up properly.
This 27 year old is still drinking very nicely. Past its prime, but still very enjoyable.

Wow. This is aged Australian Shiraz at its finest. So rich, dense, voluptuous and flavor packed...all at 17/18 yrs old! As it was being poured, you could smell the eucalyptus/mint notes from half a table away. Incredibly perfumed, alongside dark chocolate covered cherries and blue and black fruit compote. On the palate it retained the Andes mint-like sweetness with black cherry liqueur, tar, mixed berry pie and fig. Sporting an ABV of 16.5% (!), it didn’t come across hot at all. Powered through being open a couple hours without a problem. No rush here. Fantastic! Thanks for sharing @joe leatherwood .

Kirsch, spice, cedar, vanilla on the nose. Palate shows concentrated kirsch and underripe blackberry with cedar and eucalyptus/sage. A revisit of the vanilla and caramel. I think this would be better in another 3-5 years.

This is 14 not the 11. Forgot to shot the label. Gummy fruits of; blackberries, black cherries, black cherry cola/licorice. Dry, dark soil, cherry/strawberry pie, fresh and dried roses, Christmas cake, plums. Disappointing visit as they were sold out of all their 13's & most of their 14's. 15's not released.

Best Australian Shiraz I think I've ever had and I can say that with absolute confidence. At almost 20 years of age, this one is something special. Nose of eucalyptus and roasted black fruit. Cedar. Entry still has sweeter roasted blackberry and tar. This is a monster. I was getting some coconut and chocolate. Tasted like a girl scout Samoa cookie. And that is an absolute compliment since that is my favorite. Finish with roasted tannin which is a bit soft but still very present. Lots of black pepper on the finish. Amazing. I could have downed the whole thing myself, but I had to share. Darn it! Drink now or you could probably hold this another 10 years!

Still has excellent structure, blueberry and boysenberry compote with dark chocolate shavings. Absolutely delicious.
