Vanilla is the first thing that hits you. The caramel adds a certain sweetness to the taste. I would literally drink this all the time if I could get it. Dark, tasty, perfection. — 10 years ago

Craiglee have been making wine on this site since the 1860s In a 3 Level bluestone gravity fed winery - about a half hours drive north of Tullamarine - Melbourne International Airport. Aromas of Liquorice and Spice. Medium minus palate weight - very different to Barossa or McLaren Vale Shiraz. Medium To light weight tannins. Great length despite the lack of palate weight - like a Pinot lovers Shiraz. Years ago I used to buy this cool climate Victorian Shiraz because of the white and black pepper, but no sign of that in this one - is Pat Carmody picking a little riper? Worth a visit for any visiting overseas Wine Lover so close to Tullamarine. — 8 years ago

Serve cool NOT cold to make the acid POP.
My guys say.... Lighter bodied dry white. Drinks reminiscent of a fine) fino sherry with a light briney nutty flavor (salted nutz? :) and a squeeze of lemon. Roasted fish, octopus, saganaki. — 12 years ago

Yes! This is drinking beautifully. It kept making eyes at me through the wine fridge so I yanked it out of its 55°F habitat, popped the cork, and poured a healthy dose in my glass and rest into a decanter. Constantly evolving over the course of an hour+ but classic through-and-through. Well preserved even though it’s changed hands a lot. A cool, highly fragrant nose with underlying eucalyptus, clove, tobacco, cedar shavings, and plums. On the palate nuances of sweet figs, molasses, plum, blackberries, blueberries, and Christmas spices. Tannins are pretty well resolved. This is in a great place with lovely purity of fruit. Remarkable difference between this and the ‘12. — 7 years ago

Pax Mahle makes majestic Syrah that is light and gentle as single vineyard cool climate Pinot. His wines encapsulate the best of the idiosyncratic grape in a more delicate than typical frame that is complex and lean, but neither thin nor meager.

His Wind Gap Majik single vineyard has funky expressive aromas of iodine, menthol, violet, olive, and black peppercorn. Flavors of herbs, unripe blackberry, and salty minerals. Tons of flavor and body at an astounding 11.5% ABV (2014 was 10.4%!).

P.S. considering buying his Pax Hillside which got 100 points from @Antonio Galloni last year. If anyone has tried 2017 please let me know how it was. — 8 years ago

Such a cool wine to try. Lots of bret on the nose that is a love hate relationship. Unfortunately I’m more on the hate side but still slightly enjoyable and showing some fruit. Not completely dead. — 9 years ago
