Smokey on the nose and all over, charred meat and blackberry compote, but all fully resolved. We quietly sucked down 2 bottles over dessert and cheese but hell if this wasn’t the best match for fleur-de-sel laced dark chocolate I ever had. Fully resolved, delicious and unlikely to get better.

Coffee (oak notes) along with blackberry plum and chocolate on nose and palate. Has settled down after 11 years. Much more pleasurable than the 2008 Stonewell had recently which had too much prune.

Very solid. A smidge tart on the finish.

A new discovery for me. Wow. Subtle tannins. Elements of tootsie roll, cola, rhubarb.

Powerful nose of blueberry pie and barrel toast. First thing that hits the palette are crunchy tannins. Then the linzer torte rush hits you, chased by all spice and cinnamon. It's all rather brash, but we are very much enjoying this old favorite. 14.5% abv is quite restrained for the Aussies.

I love Australian Shiraz, especially with 10+ years of age. However, this bottle was advanced more than I expected

Big dark fruits, blackberry, black cherry, plum, little heat.
