  Screwcap, 14.5% alc. Strong dark ruby/ red ink colour; still bright.
  
  Reasonably subdued savoury nose of deli meats, dusty cupboard, blackberry and plum. Pan juices, vanilla, and star anise in the background.
  
  While the nose comes across as quiet and tertiary, the wine explodes on the palate with rich, ripe, palate staining sweet fruit and oak that really fans out with powerful intensity. The tannins are always making themselves known; fine grained but plentiful and chewy on the finish. Acidity firm, and alcohol showing a little.
  
  Opinion: Clearly a high quality wine; not a pretender like many. Though looked better on day 1 than day 3. Reassess in 3-4 years.

  Blackberry and sous bois in the nose. Flavors include blackberry, pepper, heat, burnt notes. Meh.

  WSET Level 2 Class; 9/13/2018-11/4/2018 (The Texas Wine School): Good bordering on very good quality Shiraz that is clear, deep ruby in color. On the nose, it's clean with a medium intensity. It has aromas and flavors of black cherry, blueberry, cooked fruits, tobacco, leather, spices, vanilla, chocolate, and toast. On the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, medium tannins, full body, and a medium finish.
  
  This wine will be better in another 2-3 years once the fruit comes down just a notch and the aging takes hold a little more. Well integrated oak while still fruitful. I would put this with a pork roast or a steak for sure!

  A nicely aging Shiraz. Still had a lot of Dark berries on the front but obviously with some aged character too. The middle swam with a mix of fruits, a touch of spice and some mild tannin. The finish was smooth and subtle fruit and maybe a touch of light tannin.
