1992 Wendouree Shiraz
Velvety maroon in colour, some bricking but not too much. Cork in good condition. Very approachable on the nose and palate when opened, tannins and acidity pretty much non-existent with a smooth classic Wendouree fruit profile remaining. Was decanted, but unfortunately after an hour or so the fruit started to fade and the finish became shorter and shorter. First glass was the best, and was damn good at that, but this one's at the end of its life so drink before it dies.
2002 Barwang Shiraz
Dark red, very much a 'black' colour to it. Cork was impeccable. Incredibly earthy on the nose, in fact I wasn't a massive fan of it. However the palate was a different story with a deep, older style of Shiraz fruit flavour to it. Continued to improve in the glass and in the bottle (not decanted) over time, became a very very tasty drop. May have a few years left in it. One of Australia's best value reds at only $15 a pop?
1995 Penfolds Kalimna Bin 28 Shiraz
Ruby red, minimal bricking. Cork was meh, half way up but no effect on the wine. This wine (or at least this vintage of this wine) is a true example of how great Penfolds used to be. Still had a strong acidic backbone at 19 years of age. Honestly tasted like a wine a third of its age. Was not decanted, and was a bit restrained and sharp at the beginning but smoothed and softened up to show a fantastic example of what Kalimna vines can produce. Plenty of fruit, good length - everyone was astounded. If it was under screw cap it'd have loads of time in it, but be wary of those corks.
