Big boozy shiraz..despite its age its still a wild animal..black cherry dominates, pepper, super raisinated, acid diminished, oak, vanilla...alcohol at 16%. Still unbalanced...but it was tasty...

Raspberry compote and ripe raspberry, almost a 'Fruit by the Foot' profile. Still some oak present, and slightly hot from the alcohol still, consistent with other Australian wines with the same bottle age. This is under screwcap, perhaps that's contributing to the freshness. Subsequent bottles should be 2020-2024.
