| Community Tasting Notes (average 86.5 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 24 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by Bsmith457 on 1/17/2016 & rated 88 points: Dark Crimson colour. Smoky leather aroma with strong alcohol. Blue berry, raspberry and plum flavour. Inconsistent flavour profile. Not a smooth wine but not as bad as I was expecting given its low price and average reviews. (1974 views) | | Tasted by Epic Tale on 6/28/2013 & rated 73 points: color: purple velvet movie theater upholstery; nose: tiniest scent of earth, but hardly any -- sad!; taste: medium-bodied tangy, rough taste of raspberry x cranberry, medium-length rough finish with faint chocolate notes; overall: rough, unripe-tasting pour with no redeeming features, which in no way delivers the bright, fruity happiness of a good Australian shiraz. This wine is plonk, and I will avoid it.

It's balanced and has flavours of strawberry jam, smokey and oak with a medium body. Smooth texture with a medium finish - After 1 hour decanting, this wine really opened up with firm but soft tannins and a well balanced structure. Very good by itself, great with pizza. Definitely supports a multiple bottle purchase. I'm still looking forward to taste the wonders coming from the 2008 bottles. (3582 views) |
