Beautiful and pure dark fruit, blackberry and plum, complimented by violet, leather, clove, and black pepper. Grippy but softened with air, vibrant and fresh.

Lightly spicy and peppery blue fruits with excellent balance and a great finish. Detailed, nuance and delicious in an only 13% abv package.

Tighter than prior bottle and had same length of decant. Blackberries, moss, coffee beans, herbs, and pepper. Good stuff but stuffing to wait to drink the rest.

Great bottle from Rhys, very dense and concentrated, deep dark robe, spices and black fruit. Polished and velvety tannins in a long finish. Hold another two years or decant 1 hour before drinking. The best Shiraz I know in the US !
