April 13, 2014 - I really enjoyed this wine. Deals come and go, but the rule I suggest we follow is buy big when a stunning value proposition presents itself. I highly recommend that you catch this wine. It is a complete wine, a very tasty wine, a great Shiraz, and worth the price.
Beautiful deep purple color. The aromas off the glass were superb, if not intoxicating. Deep, rich, concentrated flavors jump from the glass. On the palate if offered some semi sweet chocolate, licorice, a hint of cinnamon spice, and loads of ripe blackberry fruit. There are tannins, and a hint of acidity, but I find these provide it some structure and balance.
What makes this Barossa Valley beauty shine is its depth of flavors. A sip immediately travels across your pallet pushing flavor and textural satisfaction along the way. This wine tastes great, and that should be testimony enough of why you should give it a try.
However, I found myself also enjoying the complexity of this wine. Any sip ends with a luxuriously long finish. I believe it is in its prime drinking and enjoying window!970 views
