Wish I would have brought more of this home from Sicilia. Nice deep brick color. Notes of leather vanilla plum tobacco cherry and earthy. On palate so much going on. black cherry raspberry chocolate vanilla leather smoke violet cigar minerals strawberry baking spice pepper. High acidity and smooth tannins with a long finish. Drinking really well. Went well with portabello mushroom farotto.

Drinking well right now. Lighter fruit notes and tertiary notes of tobacco leather pepper and earthy notes on bouquet. Tannins are very smooth and wine remains very well balanced with good acidity. On palate but if dark cherry touch of vanilla and cigar box with slight spice. Medium oak. Better after a couple hour decant which suggests still has some time. Too bad last one…

Nice Australian Shiraz. Dark cherry on the nose. On palate nice balance of fruit, acidity and tannins with hints of oak. Not overly fruit forward. Not my favourite Australian Shiraz particularly for the price but still a nice wine.
