An excellent sweet red wine that Denise also enjoyed. Bought it from Barbrooks in Sep 2021 — 4 years ago
Bright yellow in colour. Some TDN notes (kero) amongst the spicy citrus and mineral. The acid has diminished at 19 years and the palate has filled out. The previous Delectable note nearly 10 years ago (December 2014) said “ripping acidity “. 10 years cellaring saw that evolve into the lovely mature Clare Valley Riesling that it is today. — 10 months ago
Sweet, but as a new wine drinker with a sweet tooth it goes down nicely. Goes well with a curry. — 5 years ago
This wine won the Trophy for Best Aged Vintage Red at the 2012 Sydney Royal Wine Show. Can't see it myself. Some hints of camphor/menthol and earthy nuances typical of Clare Cab Sauv. Youthful still at 10 years and Full bodied. A good wine but no Trophy. An improved showing 118 weeks later on 30 April 2018. A full bodied Clare Valley Cabernet where the black currant and other black fruits take over the leafy Cabernet Notes. — 10 years ago

Rich and sumptuous - profound concentrated flavour and intensity with low fizz after 20 years. Black fruits and dark chocolate soft fluid tannins. Delicious can be an overused descriptor but this is the most appropriate word. Sparkling Shiraz is an Australian specialty and this is a good example. From a renowned Shiraz district as in the Clare Valley. — 13 days ago
