Have always liked this wine and this style of wine ie. Cool climate Shiraz. Dark Ruby Color. Aromas of spice and plum - the pepper and liquorice have died from a few years ago. Medium weight palate with savoury notes super ceding the fruit. Drink last one in next year or two.

2010 vintage - very appealing nose with pepper, spice & fruit - found it a bit light on the palate - well balanced but just lacks the power & punch that you would get in French or Aussie Syrah

Lovely lovely syrah. Should have left it cellared a bit more, but I already loved it. Will get another bottle and cellar it longer, for sure.
