Deep red, bold Shiraz with good fruit nose. High alcohol and moderate tannin make this a sipping wine for me, not an easy complement to food. It was equally good on the second day, with just a normal cork. This is 7 years old and probably is as good as it will get - I would drink now.

Typical Aussie fare. Raisin and plum on the nose, with plum, chocolate, pomegranate, black cherry and earth on the palate with a short to medium dark fruit finish. Shows best with a decent over an hour, initially closed on opening. Good wine for the money, but really nothing differentiating this from other Australian wines.

Full nose, body and flavours, fantastic wine, smooth, plenty of fruit flavours still, now is a good time to drink this.

Another example of $20 wine that can go the distance.

Deep red color, nice fresh taste and good nose, limited fruit, and little tannin or oak. Pleasant drinking.
