Having a Sparkling Shiraz on Christmas Day is a tradition in Australia. This is my first 2007 of 6. These wines have great longevity. Made only in exceptional vintages. Still a lively mousse at 17 years of age. Aged on lees for a minimum of 7 years. Youthful blackberry and chocolate flavours. There is a lot to look forward to with the remaining 5 bottles.

A fruit bomb! Ripe & rich, other taster disbelieved the age of 26 years. While the 85 was meaty, savoury & leather the 86 is fruit driven & fresh. Better cork appearance but didn't hold like the 85.... So only spritzie now. Great fresh Aussie sparkling red. Cheers.

Dec 25th, 2012Wow, wonderful old leathery, savoury style, still holding some fizz. Great result from many years in the cellar.
