Reviews

This is so opulent and decadent with foie gras, meat and berries. Intense now. Full and velvety, with wonderful flavors. Layered and outrageous.
Maybe it’s not the ‘cleanest’ shiraz but in general you’d have to say that it’s a beauty. There’s more to wine than the technicalities. This is sweet and full-bodied but complex and savoury. Drama up front but it then leads you through a complex narrative. Both SC and cork in excellent form, to my tastes
