This got better as we let it breathe and it opened up, still may be a little young, incredibly for an entry-level wine. Maybe not quite as good as prior vintages, but still a solid, robust Shiraz for the money. Would try this later on in 2014 or at least decant it for best results.

Black as night with bacon, olives, leather around black fruit on the nose. Juicy and oaky on palate with intense chocolatey finish and full body. Tight and kind od backward at the moment.

Typical Australian fruit bomb. Sweet nose of blackberry, raspberry, spice and new furniture. On the palate it is disgustingly jammy with soft tannins and oak on the finish. On day 2 it developed some notes of tobacco, that made it more pleasant (retail $12.99)
