September 22, 2019 ... I am liking more and more these old Aussies under screw cap. Those who think screwcap wines do not age well are sorely mistaken, in fact I will go right out on a limb and say they are dead-wrong (this does not apply to all wines under the twist, but a vast majority seem to do much better than I would have expected. This Shiraz showed great spice right "off the hop" with pepper, cassis, dried black cherry, and a medium length finish that had black licorice and coffee grounds sprinkled throughout - ready now for those who like their Shiraz leaning to the older side.
