16 years young. This is aging beautifully with flavors of dark black and blue fruits mixed with a touch of black pepper. Resolved tannins, and a great smooth texture. Lovely, balanced and not showing signs of fading yet.

This was a fun outlier on the night from @Carl Fischer and although I think it’s 100% Shiraz it plays like a petite Syrah/Zin blend. As purple as wine gets. Ripe plum and full grainy mouthfeel.

Picked this up on a whim. Deep garnet colored, this was silky smooth, a bit smokey, but even after 15 years had an abundance of fruit. Plum, chocolate, leather. Delicious. First time having an aged Australian Shiraz and this certainly held up and didn't disappoint. I'm going back tomorrow to buy whatever the store has left.

Powerful but nicely tempered by the twelve years. Quite good, a crowd pleaser, and drinking well right now.

This 2002 is delicious and ready to drink. Multilayered flavors with some mustiness. All in all , a very good wine.

This is still a beast. Oak, leather, dried currants, smoke, coffee beans on the nose. More black than purple, thick, chewy. Well balanced despite the surprisingly strong tannins.
