Heathcote, Central Victoria, Victoria, Australia
Deep red/black color with a thin garnet meniscus. Aromas of petroleum (in a good way), ripe and dried black fruit, dried violets, leather and cedar. Flavors of graphite/iron, dried blackberries, black currants, smoked meat, dried blueberries, tobacco and Asian spices. Hint of black pepper on the long and drawn out finish. Soft tannins and well balanced acidity. Medium bodied, rich and plush. Extremely savory and best with food. Well aged bottle. It was time to enjoy it. Appreciate the gift, Mark S!

Another 2 years in the bottle has improved this. It remains subtle with summer berries and pepper, but also hints of mint. Lovely!

Dec 19th, 2022Bit thin at the opening, but give it a good airing and it really opens. Not your super heavy ball busting SA Shiraz, but something far more delicate and subtle. Blackberries, mint and soft peppers. Just needs patience
