Graillots Australian Syrah. Not your normal Heathcote blockbuster. More restrained and the better for it. This example a little cold (mid July in Toowoomba!!) but showing more Northern Rhone nuances. Hints of liquorice spice and game. Excellent. 17.5+. — 11 years ago

9.3

Earthy aromas with a touch of iodine with medicinal/cough medicine type aromas. Pruney notes. None of this is a negative, in fact pretty typical Heathcote. Known as a home for full bodied Shiraz but this wine at 12 years with supple tannins and medium to full bodied is very drinkable for someone who is gravitating away from full throttle Shiraz. — 7 years ago

Pretty close to the perfect Shiraz. Smooth and elegant with the trademark full bodied fruit. Recommend decanting/aerating to open it up — 9 years ago

Huge over the top - big dark fruit glistening with 15.5% alcohol. With some air this was bludgeoning but fun. — 8 years ago

2008v. Dark violet. Lots of skin pigment in there when I poured the wine through a screen strainer. On the nose, there's ripe dark fruit, baking spice, oak planks (like smelling wood boards), and a hint of menthol or eucalyptus. On the palette, the fruit is ripe (not overripe, like jam), but then dries out on the tongue. Tannins are soften by 10yrs of age but retain just the slightest grip. A very lovely Aussie Shiraz, that is very well integrated and pleasant to drink. 13.5% ABV. — 8 years ago
