Some dried meat or bacon, tobacco. Palate: Dry, medium acidity and tannin, full body, and pronounced intensity. Sweet fruit and spices: blackberry confiture and black fruit compote. Medium finish. 9/18. Very good. Great wines today :)

A wine that opens up with breathing and savoring. Particularly fine with a roast beef dinner. Bought a case and it does vary somewhat from bottle to bottle, but not by much.

Birthday Dinner! Classic Aussie Shiraz. Bold dark fruit with hints of vanilla, spice, and oak. Huge wine! Resembles the Mollydooker The Boxer.

Deep dark fruit aroma was noticeably, and danced on our palate. It was paired with a veggie pizza.
Cheers!

Typical Barossa Shiraz. Not fully developed, so will wait a few years. 87/88 or 3.5 stars.

Blackberry jam, plum syrup, medium bodied, lingering on the palate, dry with decent acid and we'll integrated tannins

Crimson-black; black currant syrup, blackberries, stewed prunes, smoked meat, mint; cassis, blackberry, slightly peppery, lush, medium-full body, decent acidity, smooth tannins, lingering finish.
Fruity and gulpable with hints of smoke and game. Excellent QPR.
