Tremendous aromatic action - eucalyptus, pepper floating on a deep pool of black fruit. Palate less interesting at the moment...

This was the right wine at the right time. I’d previously given up on it and hadn’t had it for some years. But today it shined brightly. Delicate in a iron glove fashion.

Much more cool climate than its lineage would suggest. Lovely balance Bergen vegetal and fruit notes.

A wonderful balance between fruitiness and unctuous savoriness. Anyone who thinks Australian shiraz is unidimensional needs to try this.

Love this wine. Lovely menthol and eucalyptus on the nose. Soft blueberry and cherry on the palate. Nice finish. Extremely smooth. Killer #QPR

Nice dark black/blue fruit, violets, herbs, pepper hints and earth. Good structure and not heavy.
