Dark ruby, opaque, outer rim leaning to orange (seems to be something prominent in the Aussie Shiraz's I've been tasting), nice thick legs, thick coat on the wall. Fruit is very evident in the nose though not jumping out, black cherry, plum, twizzlers, other than a hint of nutmeg not picking up much spice or oak like other notes mentioned. Got some heat on it (at 14.5% makes sense) but it calmed downed after a while. Once again though a let-down in the mouth, nose had me hopeful but mouth failed to verify and deliver. Soft tanins, fairly round, full bodied, medium acidity, medium finish.

It has a fairly strong fruity flavor with a fairly long finish. This bottle is about $10 and I guess for this price it is OK.
