Agreed with Alex H. Heavy sparkling which those not used to sparkling shiraz will have challenges. Notes of spice and darkness. Long finish (aftertaste?), with perhaps some oak. I liked it, my wife and guest did not.

Australia Wine Trip; 9/20/2009-9/21/2009 (Margaret River): Tons of horse and leather with a dose of manure on the nose.This is like leather and spiced black fruits thrown in dung-filled champagne. This is not for the faint-hearted. Extremely unique wine that only Australia can make.

Interesting sparkling shiraz with an oaky-ness which is not really expected. Friends found it enjoyable, but clearly an acquired taste.
