The bottle aging has been done for you delivering a Clare Valley Shiraz that has good shape with soft edges.
A little more developed than I would have hoped, after taking a look at this wine over a few days, it still has some time up its sleeve. Blackberry pastilles, mint pattie, black earth, leather, black olives and dark chocolate, some tension keeps things in check. Firm dusty tannins settle with time in the glass with fine spices drawing out to a long finish. Good stuff.
