Ruby red with an orange ring. Very nice aromas of dried fruit and vanilla. Full bodied with sweet fruit and well balanced alcohol and lively acidity prominent but well integrated oak. Tannins have soften up. Medium to long length and very pleasant finish. Excellent wine. Drink it sooner than later.

I suppose it's still in the "good" category because it's well made Aussie wine. Overly extracted, exceedingly peppery, high in alcohol, not my cup of tea.

Smooth meets rustic, if that makes any sense. Agree w/ comments re: extracted and peppery.

A nice little surprise. Spicy, complex, and interesting, though just a bit on the thin side. Altogether a great match for Thai cuisine.
