NOSE: a tad reductive; smoke; BBQ sauce; soy sauce.
BODY: mahogany-garnet color of incredible depth; sediment present; medium-full bodied
TASTE: a bit reductive on the palate; the fruit used to make this was clearly very ripe; flavors of black licorice, brown sugar, and bell pepper round-out this Aussie blend; finish is of medium length; too tannic to be well-balanced.
B: 50, 5, 11, 15, 6 = 87

Light, fruity nose. Rather thin in the mouth. Not much finish. Nothing objectionable, but nothing outstanding. Easy to drink. For the very reasonable price, that's probably more than one should expect.

God vin til prisen af den moderne type. Masser af frugt, hvor blanding Cabernet Shiraz giver en usædvanlig vin som giver et ekstra skud frugt.

Really good wine for the QPR. Has plenty of fruit from the Cab with just enough spice from the Shiraz to make it intersesting. Drink up.

Good every-day Shiraz-Cab. Fruity, slightly acidic.
