Vibrant developed red fruit with big tannins on the finish. Tobacco and leather across the entire palate. Cowboy’s saddle - giddy up!

Delicious. Solid Vale Shiraz. Nice tannins, full, but not Barossa big, long finish, lotsa cherry and dark fruit. Lovely!

Bitter chocolate and a flat finish. A major step down from the previous 7 bottles

Surprisingly little development considering the bottle age. Relatively simple but very drinkable wine

Still fairly primary, this is a real big boy. Heavy, concentrated, yet well balanced. Good stuff!
