At the Annual Yalumba Tasting at the Downs Club. A quick note - this was brilliant particularly for the money which was about a third of the price of the Octavius and a fraction of The Caley. Fleshy and fruity covering the spectrum from Pepper through to Plum with sweet Tannins. Short term cellaring- drink now to 10 years. A very good Northern Barossa Shiraz. I bought 6. — 6 years ago

Treacle, blackstrap molasses, tar, dark chocolate, pipe tobacco, black raisin, medjool dates, myrrh, ganache, opium-coffee, and ginseng scented. Amorphous mouthfeel, runs from thick and round to acid-buoyed on the end of a floral stalk. Dark brown sugar without the sweet, fig, clove, allspice, a little Nuóć Mam, toffee, cinnamon, nutmeg and gingerbread. This is mouthcoating breakfast fare begging for luxardo cherries or lingonberries, spicy sausage, rye toast, and smoky paprika. Gotta give it to the civet! — 6 years ago

This is amazing! Right up there with Pliny for me. So well balanced and complex. Would love to try one fresh in Maine as the trek to California probably has some negative influence on taste. — 7 years ago

Rich, chocolatey, syrupy, light hop bitterness on finish. Much to like; it defines the stout style — 7 months ago
