Woodsy nose; some cork-wood? Solid, tannic, closed and a bit stolid, not complex nor charming. Tight, almost tough. A bit tannin driven. More time: best now to 15 years
Tasted: 25/09/2007
Drink: 2011 to 2025

Medium to full red-purple; the bouquet is smooth and clean, with a mix of dark chocolate and berry fruit of medium to full intensity; oak in restraint. The palate is rich and full, with dark berry fruit and layers of texture and structure; subtle oak. 1995 was far from a poor vintage for Shiraz. Drink to 2010.
