Dark cherries and black currant. Deep purple color. Really gets better after being open for an hour. Moderate+ tannins. Had another glass 24 hours after opening and I think it was even better. — 9 years ago

The garnet/purple '12 Shingleback Shiraz 'Red Knot' offers a rich nose of black cherry, plum and earth aromas with secondary hints of spice, tar, licorice and dark cocoa. The medium-bodied mouth is lively with huge jammy blackberry and anise flavors, with subtle oak and smooth tannins. Vibrant long finish. A lot of wine for the money! — 12 years ago

9.3

Australian Chardonnay doesn't get much better. At five years, when some are looking tired, this is fresh as a daisy. Citrus, white nectarine, barley sugar, grilled hazelnut with slatey minerality. Generous, yet focussed and precise. — 9 years ago

Still plenty of life in this Aussie Shiraz. All of the typical power but surprisingly refined. Dark berries and hints of Rioja like vanilla and cigar box. Very happy I have 3 more bottles in the cellar — 10 years ago

Beautiful tropical nose with clear hints of vanillin oak. This has serious presence on the pallet and the texture shows serious restraint that really pays off, it is so supple and perfectly delicate and fresh. Touch of granite minerality. WOW!
Seriously outstanding. — 11 years ago
