Not sure the Glenlofty Shiraz 2012 is for the long haul. I've just gone back to a bottle I opened on Friday night, and its all tea like tannins and not much else. I'd be recommending drink it now, drink it fresh.
An interesting one this. Could be the year, although generally 2012 was good up there. Also, Huon Hooke gives some of the Blue Pyrenees shirazes 20 years in the bot. It does raise an issue or two, but since we are on the case, has anyone had examples of slightly too acidic pinot noirs that have come good years down the track after cellaring? Wines do soften eventually, but this is a specific, Adelaide hills pinot, query.
