{screwcap, 14%} Still dominated by a distinctly underripe, green undertone, notwithstanding the alcohol. Seems more cabernet than shiraz. No better than last time, if no worse either. But hardly worth keeping.

{screwcap, 14%} Well. Looks right, smells and tastes of asparagus smoothie. I don’t mind cool-climate Shiraz, elegance, and the rest, but did they not prune these vines at all? Medium weight, a hint of blackberry fruit, medium acidity. Fine dusty tannins, not too oaky. How something supposed to be a bit special can be 14% and this green I don’t understand. Semi mature, but a wine for aggressive vegans I think.
