This is what I'm hoping for in aged but inexpensive shiraz. Medium-bodied, bright, with good acidity and blue fruits. It's obviously Australian, but really well balanced and picking up secondary flavors. These Aussie wines seem to develop so slowly under screwcap that I could imagine it going another 10+ years. More or less the same over two nights.

First night this was medium-to-full-bodied with muted fruits. Tasted blind, I would have guessed a more modern-style Bordeaux rather than a CA cab. Enjoyable, but not a strong QPR. Second night I found it had fallen apart, and gave me little enjoyment, except in the braising liquid for some short ribs. Score based on first night, obviously.

Dominated by brine and olives, just a touch of meatiness, no blue fruits that I could detect. Gained balance over several nights, as it was too acidic on first opening. I find this bottling to lack the complexity and depth of the Halcon estate bottling, but was interesting enough on 2nd and 3rd nights.
