Slow-ox’d for about an hour prior. Infanticide still. Massive structure. Ample fruit. A bit of a klutz right now but that will rectify itself over time. Future is bright and higher scores are to come...after 2025 or so!

Very deep and complex with a lengthy tannin structure.
The fruit is super bright and fresh.
Hope to taste again in 10 years. :)

Hope everyone's keeping safe. First wine opened in this lockdown period and it's bloody baked. Sigh. Oxi and tired. Perils of buying wine in the tropics.

In a good place at the moment. Decanted and drank over a couple of days. By the second day had developed some dark black fruit flavour like plum and blueberry. But still wrapped in classic Aussie Shiraz ummph.

Smooth and soft tannins for a Shiraz with little to no hint of spice. Almost tasting like a Merlot blend instead.

Nose is mostly alcohol. Some red fruit, prunes, some spice on palate. Not overoaked. Good length. Needs time but I don't think it'll get to be anything amazing. Poor QPR.
