Red berries, rose hips and herbs and spices in the bouquet. On the palate juicy and friendly red berries, herbs and medium but fresh acidity, same goes for the tannin. Raspberries, cherries and some slightly green impressions and drying in the finish.

Aussie Tasting (Minneapolis, MN): For less than the D Block wines this is far superior. Cooler climate Shiraz with floral, white pepper, minerals and earth. Medium finish and balance wine.

Better on Day 2 or 3!; 6/2/2022-7/5/2022 (3 Day Wine Review World Headquarters, Minneapolis, MN): Day 1: This wine has turned out to be a winner on every occasion. Fragrant wine with floral, raspberries, mint, roasted Chesnuts, white pepper and underbrush. The anti in your face Aussie Shiraz. Love it. 93 points Day 2: Better than the previous for sure. Floral, raspberries, spice, white pepper, minerals, underbrush and dust. Very nice wine and under $30. 93 points Day 2.5: This is even better than earlier. This has picked up some weight and features plums, raspberries, black pepper, minerals, roasted meats, soy and spices. 94 points Day 3: Roasted meats, blueberries, raspberries, spices, underbrush, black pepper, mild soy and dark plums. This is a steal for $28. 94 points Recommendation: Get some if you can. One of the better Aussie Values out there.

Day 1: Black pepper, spice, roasted peppers, blue currants, rose petals, minerals and earth. Solid medium finish. (Screw Cap) 91 points Day 2: Improved and offers black pepper, spice, blueberries, raspberries, floral and mineral notes. Medium plus finish and more concentration than day 1. 92 points Day 3: Holding form to the day 2 improvement and these will cellar nicely through 2028. Recommendation: IF you can get this for $30 buy! Excellent value and not the fruit bombs of old.

Day 1: Excellent again with white pepper, bramble, blackberries, raspberries, minerals, smoked meats and gravel. This is a tremendous find for under $30. 92 points Day 2: Better on day 2. More expressive and shows white pepper, bramble, smoked meats, gravel, dark fruits and spices. Medium plus finish. This is super balanced and not hot like some of the Aussie wines. Excellent value with shipping under $30. 93 points Recommendation: A must buy from Winebuyer.com for under $30.

Day 1: Under $30 and worth every penny. Very aromatic wine and flavorful but all in balance. Blackberries, black olives, blueberries, floral, black pepper and exotic spices. Medium plus finish and good acidity. This is a six pack coming soon! Actual agree with James Suckling who gave it 95 so not far off. 93 points Day 2: Beautiful wine with black olives, tar, blueberries, twigs, floral notes, black pepper and exotic spices. Medium plus finish and good concentration. Outstanding value. 93 points Day 3: More balanced across the board on day 3. Black olives, tar, blueberries, black pepper, exotic spices and floral notes. Medium to long finish and amazed how well this is drinking young. 93+ points Recommendation: Buy! For less than $30 an amazing QPR.

By the glass. Aromatically intense with notes of blackberries and plums along with a spicy touch from wood. Nice complexity but without much elegance. Excessively concentrated and dense on the palate without that necessary acidity that balances the whole wine. Not bad at all, though.
Por copas. Aromáticamente intenso con notas de moras negras y ciruelas junto con un toque especiado procedente de la madera. Buena complejidad pero sin mucha elegancia. Excesivamente concentrado y denso al paladar sin la necesaria acidez que equilibre el vino. No obstante no está mal del todo.
