Deep colour with very dark staining on bottle interior. Subtled Shiraz flavours are flattened by the Viognier I think. Snappy on the tongue on opening, much mellowed and deepened after 1 hour.

Fruit forward vanilla, oak and blackberries. Nice ruby/garnet color and nice legs. First opening I thought it tasted like cough medicine but within minutes it mellowed nicely. Full bodied on the palate and TASTES like it SMELLS. Somewhat sweet notes. Nice spice and soft tannins finish this very balanced wine nicely. I know it sounds crazy but it reminds me alot of a DeBouef beauj I had recently. VERY impressed for a wine less than 10.00 USD. Will buy more and recommend it highly.

Flat, hollow. Some chocolate, but minimal fruit. Fading and past its best.
