Deep, dark, brambly black fruit with some black pepper and eucalyptus notes. Surprisingly resolved tannins and alcohol not at all sense given the 15.4% on the label

95-96 Bought 4 years ago from Wine Direct, back when they had an insane collection of old Ozzie wines, before they closed down are were resurrected to a more (seemingly) reliable and stable business model.
My palate has changed dramatically in 4 years, but this is undeniably delicious. Immensely concentrated but harmonious. Elegant for 15.4%. Blackcurrant, rosemary, floppy peppered bacon, heather, old leather. Acid and med+ tannins offer perfect structure. Sublime, could age another decade at least.

highlight of the night.... cannot fault this shiraz for it's full body, rounded mouthfeel, lingering finish and sweet peppery berry sweetness...
