Dark, inky, thick. All fruit, no funk. Singing 7 years after vintage.

Yummmmmm. Found this 2010 bottle and couldn't wait to try it. Wish we could have decanted it for an hour but it tasted too good to wait

I am not a huge Aussie Shiraz fan but this one delivered. Great balance nothing overdone. Love the jammy blueberry fruits that just oozes out. Subtle toast undertones.

Thick and rich as expected. A five hour decant was effective. Dark, rich fruit, toast, mocha, oak & spice. Enjoyable!

Blackberries, currants. Deep, deep, deep. Chewy upfront and smooth silky tannins on the end. Fucking Christ.

A big wine showing elegance and restraint, no small feat at 15.5. Distinctive fine, dark-chocolate-y tannins. Leather. Hot blueberry mix on your granny's stove-top before it goes in the pie. Min hour decant.
