Latest release. Exploded with blueberry and blackberry. Fruit forward. Smooth tannin, surprisingly easy drinking at this stage. Not very complex.

This 2015 Aussie Shiraz, RWT from Penfolds is dark, broody and voluptuous. The vast majority of my Australian wine experiences are of lower end, mass produced juice bombs. This is a cut above and some.

Okay! Father’s Day. Get the bbq out. Cook some ribs!! What better than a cheek tantalizing, jammy, Shiraz from Barroso Valley!! This one took some time to come together. Rich extracts of dark cherry, figs and mulberry. Unfortunately the vanilla, probably from the American oak, was overwhelming and threw the wine off balance. It took nearly three hours before it settled down and became fully integrated. At that time I was able to pick of the fine and potent tannins that gave it depth and character.

The was excellent as well. Bigger, bolder, younger the the Bin 150. An explosion in the most of darks and big tannins, expresso and dried florals. Needs 10 years for the first bottle.

Dug this. Porcini, beef stock, soy, blackberry, plum and boysenberry. It's dense and compact now with fine and long grained tannins, super length but is approachable now should will power be against you.
