Cracked this yesterday and it was alright after a decant it went back in the bottle today it's opened up wonderfully with dense black fruit on the nose backed up by a classy eucalypt/mint, vanilla ice cream & cedar. Palate is a lot more savoury with bitter blackcurrant and sloe fruit but a freshness to the mid palate and a bitter black chocolate finish.does make you wonder why cad/Shiraz blends fell out of favour, great value.

This is pretty special. Nice n' juicy but kind of balanced too. If I could be a wine, this would be it.
