  Decanted 2 hrs. Nice initial nose. Interesting, lively dark fruit tastes, but they flattened out in the second half of the bottle.

  Medium-bodied, with restrained tannins. Opens up after two hours, with notes of forest floor, mushrooms, and blackberries, finishing drying. 13.8% ABV.

  D'Arenberg - McLaren Vale.: Lots of mineral aromas. Lovely, velvety ice. Easy acid balance. Roast in the aromas. Giving fruit palate, med/- tannin.

  Still very young. Opened this straight off for an impromptu dinner. It was closed and tight, giving little hints of what it might potentially be. Nevertheless there was elegance & balance. Drank a couple of glasses & left half the bottle overnight. When I drank the next day, what a difference! So much more showing. Again, balance & elegance, but clear plum, chocolate, green peppers. Full bodied & beautiful. An excellent single vineyard Shiraz with an interesting name. With enough decanting time, this can be enjoyed from now.
