  Big fruit, boderline overripe for me, but Mum loved it so that's a win! Oak was definitely there, but starting to integrate well.

  Dark ruby turning crimson at the rim with reflective edges. Floral notes of violets, lilac, dark berries, and vanilla. The palate is clean, refreshing and full-bodied with a heightened sensation. Flavors of plum, cherry, spice, and dark chocolate form the core on a well-balanced, elegant platform. Finishes long and spicy with notes of dried herb and tobacco. Drink now until 2018.

  Exactly what you would expect in Aussie Shiraz. Nothing more, nothing less.

  Hari Raya Haji 2013 (Lei Garden & Dakota): Tasted blind. Decanted for more than an hour before tasting. Strong sweet aromas I could smell even at arm's length as I was poured a glass. Tasting bright and energetic in the mouth. Sweetness a bit too much candy-like. Lots of red cherries and some strawberries on the palate. Smooth mouth-feel and some of the typical Shiraz spice towards the finish. I guessed about 5 year old Aussie Shiraz, one of the lighter styles, not the blockbuster Barossa type. This could be better with a bit more age, 89 points for now.

  Opened and let breath in the glass for 30 minutes. Very light color and weight for a shiraz. Nice fruit nose. Strawberry cream, pomegranate, hints of leather on the nose. Alcohol a bit of chocalete nose even some cheese. Tasty fruit, but good alchol mix. A little bitter taste but held in check. Candy flavor like cherry jolly ranchers. A little artificial, manipulated a bit, but enjoyable. Good tanins dry. Nice Cherry flavor a bit of tobacco. Would like to try it again.
