Fairly reticent nose. A whiff of vanilla oak and dark fruits. Plush and mouthfilling. Still some grip on the medium-length finish. Sweet fruit; no obvious signs of development. Not particularly complex, but perfectly drinkable. Probably at or near its peak but showing no signs of decrepitude. Enjoyable.

This is on the bold and bodied side. I like the rich vanilla that couples with red currant. Not terribly complex and lacks acid punch. Otherwise acceptable for the price

By the glass at the BA lounge Singapore. Last glass in the bottle. Dark with purple rim, bright. Light spice , good dark fruits, light to no oak on the nose. Medium bodied with a good ripe sweet core but in check. Nicol who tried it blind struggled to place it as a Shiraz and we guess that would be an issue for the one who likes the big and bold variety. For the lighter side lovers like us it was more to our taste. A good 89 and best to be had sooner than later when it's still fresh and bright.

Classic medium bodied shiraz for the price point. Unspectacular but absolutely works.
