Dark purple youthful color without bricking. Blackberry jam and some mint in the nose. Pruney, ripe, low acidity and just a bit of tannin. I haven't tasted a Barossa Shiraz in a while and this seemed like a pretty typical authentic Barossa. 13.5 % abv certainly isn't over the top, but lacks a little freshness.

Strawberry and plum marmalade, warm and heady. A bit of complexity underneath the fruit. Meh.

Bottle was oxidized. Harsh afterbite & the wine lacked clarity. Very disappointing. Might have left it too long in the cellar based on others notes.
