  OTH as expected. Cherry and stewed prunes aromas. Stewed prune and bitter flavors. Never designed to go to this age and it didn't. Part of a large purchase and wasn't expecting much.

  Color: deep purple-red with slight brown edge
  
  Aroma: Initially closed; opened with air; spicy; floral with some wild herbs. Noted a little violet.
  
  Body and flavor: medium-full bodied; dried berries, especially raspberries; flavor of sage and rosemary. Although 14.5% ABV, no alcohol apparent in flavor or nose. Very little tannins.
  
  Aftertaste: lingering finish. Again, dried berries and fruit.
  
  Paired with beef tartine and blue cheese and walnut ravioli. Quite a treat! In my opinion, if you still have bottles, enjoy one now and savor the rest over the next 2 - 4 years.

  What a great surprise. This wine had a great balance of fruit, spice and tannin. Mouthfeel was generous and pleasant. Still had the $18.99 price tag from when it was purchased. Wish I had more than just this one bottle.

  Ripe fruits, convey typical Shiraz character, flashy pepper, almost like wasabi, but short finish.
  Close but not yet 90+

  This was quite good, with pleasing blueberry flavors and some interesting secondary nuances developing. Some remarked on anise, which seems to be an apt description.
