  Parfymert lukt av søt lakris, kamfer drops, kongen av danmark, bjørnebær og amerikanske blåbær. Salt og sursøt smak av amerikansk rødebærmiks, tilsatt litt appelsinjuice. Også smak av søt og salt lakris, eaukalyptus, blåbær. Godt moden frukt med tydelige grønne toner, kraftig syre og lite tannin. Middels lang.

  Just after opening there is an explosion of berries that meets the nose: dark cherries, blackberries and some blueberries. Also liquorice and some cooling hints of eucalyptus. With air the berries are accompanied by some earthy tones, spices and meat. A nice and interesting nose. And not at all the warm and overripe fruit I sometimes find in Australian and other New World-wines. On the palate there's consentrated fruit, medium mouthfeel, surprisingly high acidity, lovely tannins and a pleasant fruity finish that maybe could have lasted a little longer. Overall great balance and a great wine at this price ($25).

  Pale purple. Made in a biodynamic fashion this Shiraz has a touch of Mourvedre added. I would not have guessed that it was a Barossa shiraz, with its eucalyptus and forrest bark nose, then redcurrants and dark chocolate combining on the palate leading into a tangy and long finish.
