  Deep purple colour. Medium and developing nose with dark plums, blackberry, vanilla, eucalyptus, black pepper, green bell pepper and smoke. Medium taste of dark plum, blackberry, eucalyptus, black pepper, green bell pepper, vanilla and earth. Medium long and dry finish. Medium acidity. Medium (-) tannins. Full body. A good Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Needed an hour to open. Drink now or over the next couple of years. Goes well with game.

  This Shiraz is a multi-regional blend from South Australia - Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek, Coonawarra, Wrattonbully, Clare Valley, Padthaway. Popped for our home cooked pork stew "tau chiung", fried fish, and tofu with minced pork dinner tonight.
  
  Alas overly sweet and bit of a plum monster with a medium to short finish, the nose is super restrained too. Perhaps the layers and fruits will open up a little by tomorrow.. we shall see!
  
  The week after CNY .. Cheers!

  Nothing spectacular but perfect as a Friday night pizza quaffer. Drink now.

  Remarkably smooth from the first sip. Wonderfully balanced. A perfect pairing with garlicky prime rib.

  87/88. Is better than other vintages. It is a bit old fashioned with high alcohol and low acidity and a manafactured sweetness to it. Has aromas of blueberries, chalk, light pepper, blackberries maybe some menthol and vanilla hints. Its medium bodied solid peppery blue, black and red fruits palate lacks acidity and ends mediumish and a bit unknit. 14.5%. This is only just ok and no value at 12 Euros.
