Cheap Wine and no particular expectations that it would have lasted but actually showed in well shape. Not overly complex but certainly woth the 30 AUD paid 12 years ago in Melbourne.

This was a special at the local wine shop and carried USA health warnings, so obviously originally intended for export. Colour and aroma was typical of a Barossa Shiraz that is ready to drink and this was confirmed on the palate with blackfruit flavours. Tannins were medium to low, however it had an acid bite and certainly was not a balanced wine. While acceptable perhaps with a meal it is a wine that will not improve with age and there are far better examples at better price points than this. In all disappointing.

pitch color. plums and chocolate on the nose. plush tannins. blueberry pie explosion with red licorice, rasberries and mocha. a bit hot, but fun to drink.

Just average at best, much better choices available for the price.

Solid effort. Simple, yet very drinkable Barossa Shiraz. Classic Shriaz profile, and none of that "cheap red" flavor I so despise.

Tastes like a grape popscicle. Not bad if you like grape flavor.
