Hill of Gold Shiraz 2001

All I can say is that, for someone new to wine, you gave a great narrative description.

It isn't uncommon for a beautiful aroma to subdue after fifteen minutes in the glass and from an open bottle. I always slap the cork back into the bottle between pours, in the hope that it helps retain some of the aroma (not to mention that if I knock the bottle over, it won't spill--that comes from having had to pour wines at major festivals).
