Elegant mature pale ruby with brick colour. Medium bodied. Complex, mature and resolved nose. Interesting scents of leather, cherries, mushroom and leaves. Tastes balanced and smooth, with a mild tinge of oak and spice. Not overly fruity. Very rounded and smooth tannins. Long and lingering aftertaste.

This bottle needs about 30 mins to open up and then it's good for an hour or so. After that, it'll start to collapse.

This is the oldest wine that I've tasted todate. Such a wonderful experience!

This ruby coloured wine is made with 80% grenache and 20% syrah. It has an interesting cherry and strawberry jam nose with a tinge of mineral and earth. Medium bodied. Tastes quite clean and floral with firm tannins. Pretty feminine with a touch of spice. Still young and needs a few more years of aging. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of grenache :-(

Visited this vineyard during my recent trip to Perth with Wifey, Mummio, Sonny and Girlie. Beautiful vineyard with a very majestic entrance. We had a nice meal at the vineyard with our buddies. Sonny and Girlie were having fun running around in the open area at the vineyard. Since Daddio didn't come along, the least I could do was buy back a bottle of wine and share with him.

Cherry red in colour. Tannins are pretty big and edgy. Quite oaky and spicy. Good nose of dark berries. Unlike other Shiraz that I've tasted, this red is surprisingly medium bodied. Needs a good hour to breathe. Will be interesting to taste this bottle again after 5 years to see how it has evolved.

This dessert wine tastes like nectar! 

Concentrated and silky smooth. Chewy. Nice profound sweet vanilla and honey perfume. Long lasting sweet after taste. 

Certainly a wonderful way to end your meal!
