Sadly not what it once was - very little fizz left. Base wine still wonderfully flavoursome and it must have been darn good a long time ago, but brown now and a bit tired. Cork very poor for this quality of wine. If you have them, drink up quickly

Medium-deep, ruby-maturing with good bubbles. Very much the mature, but not old, Great Western shiraz bouquet – musky and spicy. Savoury, drying palate with excellent “just enough”residual sugar in the balance. Not strongly earthy but showing some smoke and meaty phenols. Coffee, licorice and hint of tar. A class act.
