Dark red, clear with sedi,ent. Nose of black berry jelly, vanilla and cedar. Medium body with sucrosity, BlackBerry jelly, menthol and vanilla. Tannin is totally integrated. I guess its flavour profile is simple but I like it a lot and am surprised that 3/5 of the diners ask me to open another bottle, claiming this is too jammy! What evs.

Really delicious Shiraz, full of red fruit, nice acidity, medium bodied and nicely resolved tannins. Drank from a double magnum and boy was it excellent QPR. Probably at peak already and won't get better, but very enjoyable.

BBQ @ Arcadia!: Drank from magnum - wild card bottle for the group today. This drank nicely, with slight notes of raisins. Frankly, I wouldn't have called this an Aussie shiraz, although it is apparent to be a New World. I must this is not bad at all, and most of the group agreed. Open up 89/90

Almost black. Fragrant of blackberries, blackberry jam, menthol, spiced red currant jelly and vanilla. In the mouth there is blackberries, menthol, vanilla, a puff of wood smoke. This has substantial weight, integrated tannin and acid. A lingering red currant finish.

Upon opening it is extremely powerful with intense oak. After 2 days.... Oak is subdued and integrated and the fruit shows mint.. So for the next couple years I should just LEAVE THIS ALONE!

Solid wine. A true exposé of Aussie Shiraz. Value for money hard to beat year in year out

Very dark red, oak, and herb nose. Then rich, dark berry, sage and spice. After a couple hours the flavours are red fruit, not black and the acid is apparent and the tannin very smooth. Lovely.

Black fruits all the way. No hint of anything blue or red. It's as black as the ace of spades. Licorice, chocolate, mocha, spice, tar and mint intermingle with some nice oak. Tannins are long and fine. Impressive length and finish.

Inky and flavours to match. Too young for me to assess in detail, but is sound and intense.
