  Очень темное, насыщенное, добротное, но без изысков. В аромате темные ягоды, ноты овоща, и много-много молотого черного перца; хорошо ощутимы животные нюансы, копченость, колбаса салями; во вкусе вначале довольно резкое, перченое, темно-ягодное, танины умеренные; раскрывается теплой пряностью, сладкими нотами чернослива, а затем в остатке лесные ягоды- малина/земляника; послевкусие недолгое, пряное, среднетерпкое; через час падает, снова резкое, во вкусе - овощ в полный рост. На дне - мелкий-мелкий осадок.

  Good drop. Strong flavour to begin with.

  Vibrant purple in appearance, typical of young South Australian Shiraz. Black Plum, with some of that McLaren Vale dark chocolate expression, plus something else...cured meats perhaps? In the mouth, it is medium to full, with more of that regional dark chocolate aspect making it's presence felt. Rather smooth and crowd pleasing, with a soft tannin profile, but a reasonable finish. Not a complex wine by any means, but neither is it meant to be. Great to just drink. Not to cellar. Better than previous vintages I've tried. Value.
