An opaque dark crimson in colour. Herbaceous on the nose with Mint, spice and plum - earthy mineral nuances as well. Medium to full bodied palate with plum and mint, essentially savoury, a touch of black pepper - still with firm tannins. From a very old pedigreed area for long living Shiraz in Great Western in Victoria. Good value and QPR at $25 AUD from Bests. I have Bin 0 and Thompson’s Family Cuvées that are older than this but not nearly ready.

balanced, the more time to breath the tannins come out nicely. Savoury.

Medium-bodied, fairly silky, appropriately lightly spiced, good finish. Overall solid.

I shouldn't be surprised by this wine, given the producer but I was. This is punching well above its price point and is frankly a bargain. Well rounded, pure fruits, excellent balance and a long, delicious finish. I wonder if the lack of weight might limit its ageing potential but why wait? This is excellent right now.
