Drank with cheese. A juvenile wine which is way too young at moment. It has great structure with plenty of red and black fruit. However the tannins are overpowering and need integration and softening. I think it has a great future but wouldn’t touch for at least 5 years.

Pleasantly surprised. It’s not as “big” as other vintages I’ve had showing a bit more refinement. No doubt Aussie Shiraz but with nice undertones of lift and energy. Will wait a few years for others.

Deep purple in the glass and so young on the nose. Plenty of cooked black fruits on the nose, with some violet, vanilla, black pepper, and liquorice notes. Plenty of ripe tannins and not-quite high acidity shows us we're somewhere hot. There is so much complexity and concentration, it is begging for more time in the cellar, though you could drink it now and be rewarded with a full-bodied young, fruity Shiraz.
But in reality it is a baby now and on track to be a stunning wine with age.
