For a relatively young wine, everyone in our dinner party raved about how good it was and I would totally agree. A very rich tasting wine. I will acquire more to put up in my cellar for opening in several years.

Needs several years of aging. This is one of 8 bottles and I will keep the remaining for another 5 years before opening one.

Very good but still a bit young. This was the first bottle from a recent case purchase just to try it out. I couple of more years and it should improve.

Consumed with and artichoke dinner. Opened bottle abut 2 hours before pouring. This wine was certainly the best Shiraz I have ever had and, considering the reasonable price, it is a true bargain. i wish I had more of this wine.

Begining with aromas of black olives and baked plums maybe some brown sugar, with flavors which mostly mirrored those plus some boysenberry. As the glass loosened up some cedar tobacco box flavors and aromas and lots of savory herbs.
