  Mint and herbal overtones with some beautiful rich cranberry, black cherry, and kirsch notes. Nothing too huge but not a small wine either.

  Syrahs/Shirazes (2 ea-FR, CA’s Central Coast, & AU) (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): “Heathcote Vyd is situated on highly prized red Cambrian soil on the eastern slope of the Mount Carmel range, about 25-30km north of the town of Heathcote.”
  
  N: Eucalyptus with undertones of vanilla?
  
  P: LM body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt met by a smidgin of astringent pucker which stays in contact with the init frt as it fairly seamlessly transitions into a LONG, BALANCED finish with a delightful, tangy/swtness to the few, QUITE unoffensively firming, dusty tannins. VERY nicely done for now & through '23? My EXC; 89 pts The Wine Front (Mattinson, 3/27/17). [This vendor's $32.95 is $4 < wine-searcher's lowest.]

  Smells huge and off kilter like a drunk obese man trying to dance. Relatively seamless palate though if you like curvaceous ribena berries (as I tend to) with liquor marzipan.
