  Short decant. Huge nose of blueberry pie, vanilla, and clove-infused chai. Super-ripe in the mouth. Warm blue fruits, cream, and a hint of charcoal. Sweet tannins with huge concentration and length. You'll be happy if you like this candy-like style but for me it's a bit over-done. Will not improve but will hold.

  Double decanted; moderate sediment. Inky red color. Prominent nose of blueberries, leather, black pepper and menthol. Full-bodied, nearly jammy, peppery dark fruit and lively acids on the palate. Tannins not apparent. Long finish with peppers dominant some heat (15.1% alc.) Would rate this a couple of points higher with a gentler finish. Should drink well for several more years.

  Liked this as a big bold Australian Shiraz...blackberry, blueberry, chocolate and a smooth, long finish

  very dark and brilliant. Menthol, smoke, black fruit. Tasty, rich, viscous and generally balance.
