Big, full wine. Peppery some eucalyptus I guess after reading the other comments I was expecting more. Liked but def not s 93! Also, felt might be past its peak.

Huge bold 15.2%ABV Shiraz. Surprisingly well balanced. Black pepper, plums. Screwcap.

LOVE IT! Wondering where you can buy it for the $29 pricetag that this app lists?

Classic Shiraz. Big and peppery. Consumed over two days with little change. Recommend holding a few years to develop more tertiary flavors.

Brilliant example of a fine Australian Shiraz. Drinking well currently.

Decanted it 2 hours before tasting with nine friends. Lavender, mint, leather, violets. Very complex, floral and pleasant. Pretty smooth tannins. Still a bit young, but a really good mouthful. With his first sniff, one person got the eucalyptus and phenol aroma someone mentioned, but he didn’t get it again and never tasted it. One very unique Shiraz! I like it A LOT!

Vinturied and decanted, this is a young complex animal, primal at times, and seductive another.. It changed multiple Xs over the evening,. Forget about for another few years to be justly rewarded. This is a 92++ to come.

Eucalyptus overtones right now. VERY young! Classic h. Drive though. Much bigger than previous incarnations but very complex. Opened up after 90 min with volatile parfum notes. Very phenolic @ the start. Artisan single vineyard summer red.

The tasting notes on the back of the bottle are 100% accurate, so why reinvent the wheel? "An elegant wine, continuously evolving with brooding blackberry fruit, star anise, lavender and eucalyptus." I would add some glycerin, long finish and smooth mouth feel. A very solid effort, but again you must like eucalyptus etc...
