Smokey notes and a jam like taste on the palate, have to admit I could not remember what the nose was like - I am back logged at least 3 Wine settings on Vivino eeeep.
The tannins are rather coarse, and I would not ever want to try this on its own - Lucky we paired this Shiraz with a massive steak.
Even with a price point of barely USD 20 this is still not a bottle which I would stock more of, nevertheless it was a superb evening with my bros of 33 years at Honest Butcher by Chef Nickt, in Kota Damansara.

{screwcap, 14.5%} Raw blueberry jam nose, with vanilla oak chips. Pointed, fairly raw palate, with sharp added acidity, low level coarse grainy tannins, baked, macerated jammy fruit, a patchy palate and a short hollow, alcoholic finish. Grim stuff. Don’t even think of cellaring.

Pairs really well with food. Nice fruit with tasty spice, acid and tannins have a very smooth mouth feel.
