My first time having this wine. I’ve been holding on to it for a while! Shockingly still young and vibrant. I don’t know Australian wine well but this was a stud.

Beautifully aged Syrah. Old but still very much alive and kicking. Very nice. Really loved this.

I love this Shiraz. It's everything an Australian Shiraz should aspire to be. Sad that it's my last.

Very concentrated wine with a lot of black and blue berry flavours - the nose follows the taste - creme des cassis... Nice acid keeps the wine fresh
15 years old - and almost no development; nice wine enjoyed with a piece of lamb marinated in garlic, thymes and rosmarin😁

Woah, extraordinary Barossa Shiraz, chocolate plus a little mint, rich and NOT jammy, a wonderful wine.

A hydrogen bomb of dark fruit but it’s the aftermath that makes this special. After the blueberry and pomegranate subside, enticing tastes of Black and Milds, baking spice and cigar box make their presence known. Tannins, alcohol and acidity were seamlessly integrated.

I really enjoyed this! Such wonderful tension between the explosive fruits and acid that kept it all in check! Imported by the smartest Australian importer @Ronnie Sanders (because he’s the guy who recognized @Fraser McKinley‘s genius, as well as Elaina Brooks).

If you see Vine Street Imports, buy!
