Took a bit of time to open up, which surprised me since it was an '02! But once the super dark red fruit came to the fore, we were in business...but aside from the fruit there was a whole lot of woody stuff going on. Funky wood, olives or something brine like, and of course that ultra muted roasted nut quality. A lot of "I'm not sure what it is but I like it" around the table. Definitely time to drink up. Do it!

Dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of lacquer, eucalyptus and berries. Flavors of berries, raspberries and cherries. Medium acidity, medium tannin, medium to full bodied. Drink now.

apparently made from similar grapes to the Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz. Dark berries and plum, mocha oak, brooding. Nice

Intense but smooth, velvety - great black fruits. Balanced tannins
