  Alcohol seems strong in the nose and mouth. Blueberry and hot is what I recall. Not for my taste , but sure for some.

  1/27/2018 - srh Likes this wine:

  Winebar [4 Whts & 8 Reds] from 1/26/18 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): N: CLOSED, but seems ripe; Intensity lurking?
  
  P: MF body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish frt off-set by some astringency which ULT quite mellows out by the LONG, tangy/SWT finish with occasional notes of very, VERY fine tannins. For not, though could improve through '18, then drink for 3 more, I'm guessing. My VG. [This vendor's $24.95 beats the only other currently listed wine-searcher source by ~$5!]

  Aussie Shirazes & Shiraz Dominant Blends (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): N: CLOSED, but seems ripe & with an earthiness?
  
  P: Med, poss MF, body; ALMOST swtish frt met by a very, VERY slightly puckerish astringency which DOES quite resolve by the LONG, almost swtish finish with a spicy tang. Approachable now with food, this deserves into the fall of '18, then drinking for 3 or 4 more, I'm guessing. [This vendor's $24.95 beats the only other currently listed wine-searcher source by ~$5!]
