  Dark ruby. Sweet fruit notes on the nose, pleasant. Palate is quite acidic, disappointingly dominant. Still has the the clare euculyptic background, but it is well in the background. Not up to usual standards.

  This bottle seemed to be a bit past prime, I would drink now…

  Deep ruby to purple in color, Blackberry on the nose, confirmed on the palate before turning to blueberry followed by slightly vegetal and earthy flavors. Tannins start soft, but become quite astringent. Needs a fatty pairing to take the edge off. Medium acidity. Finish is medium.

  Decanted for 2 hours, really allowed this to show it’s best qualities. Great wine, especially at the price point.

  A decent low cost Aussie Shiraz. I’m a big fan of Aussie wines, Shiraz and Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noirs. Not as peppery as some of the better Shiraz, but decent. That being said, there are others bottles of Shiraz I would buy instead, but A good Shiraz from Penfolds is more costly and more enjoyable. Wirra Wirra Catapault around same price point is much more enjoyable.
