PnP, and while not terribly aromatic, it does show light notes of blackberry, sage, and oak on the nose. Blackberry, currant, mint, black pepper, and a touch of oak coalesce on the palate. Medium weight, high acid, and drying on the medium-short finish.

This is half-way towards the modern, fragrant, lower alcohol style of Barossa shiraz. There is French oak, but quite a lot of oak, and some noticeable added acid. The colour is still fantastic, even though it's dropped a bit of a crust.
Good drinking now, will develop secondary characters and lose a bit of fruit sweetness over the next 10 years.
14.3% ABV, sealed with cork.
