The wine is full bodied, rich and superripe with lavishly oaked dark fruitcake and chocolate\/mocha flavours that are underlined by drying and slightly grippy tannins. Good concentration and retains freshness despite its superripeness.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted 15 January 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2027–2038\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling:\u003c\/strong\u003e “A juicy, fruity and playful shiraz with poise and focus.
