Medium full red, some purple. Toasty oak, coconut and earth development: typical aged Aussie shiraz nose. A touch of herbal, stemmy character, old wood - no sign of new - and sweetly raisiny flavours in the mouth. Licorice, dark chocolate and raisins to taste. Sweet and borderline porty. All becoming toasty with bottle-age. Nice mouthful of red, not elegant but not clumsy either. Luxurious style.
