Final bottle from case of 12. This has developed quite nicely over the journey. Earlier years suggested this wouldn't hold up but it has very well. Really enjoyed it, fruit still present and now well integrated at 14yrs.

Ok, can see why the two wines were blended to produce a drinkable wine from a very troubled 2011 vintage.

Tight, firm and cool, could certainly be a Northern Rhône, one feels the tough year, and this won't go on forever, but as of now, it is a very fine food wine, good acidity, very typical for the grape. When served blind for the boys, only MB picked out Australia - this wine holds well on day 2&3.

Clear medium garnet colour. Nose is clean medium+ cassis and black pepper Palate is medium acid, low tannin, medium- body with pepper dominant over black fruits. Very good quality, not overly complex but lovely drinking right now. Won't get better imo.

Still quite tight, fruit is very black. Structurally big, not a lot of tannin. Just needs more time. Interesting to see if there's enough fruit to develop.

Nice wine, but light and lacking complexity compared to a usual Jasper Hill Shiraz.

10x20 Victorian Tasting (Customs House, Sydney, Australia) : A blend of Shiraz with 80% from Georgia’s Paddock and 20% from Emily’s Paddock. Cocoa and blueberry aromas, with a touch of vanilla. The palate is medium bodied and pleasant without much complexity. Nicely easy to drink and may develop over the medium term but is approachable now.

10x20 Years Victorian Tasting (Custom House, Circular Quay, Sydney) : Muted red fruit over black peppercorns on the nose and in the mouth the wine shows warm alcohol, black fruit and slight pepper - it does lack acidity for me though.
