March 20, 2020 - A great burger wine!
July 15, 2017 - Nice wine and decent value. A good example of an aussie shiraz with more character than most available in UK at that price. Good concentrated dark berry aroma and palate without the sweet/stewed quality so common with wines of "South Eastern Australia". Can taste the lower yield, higher quality fruit. Rich plum, blueberry, black pepper. Spices, tabacco, chocolate. Full bodied and nice finish .
July 1, 2017 - Much better on day 2 (pumped in fridge) than on day one. Lots of dark fruits, some spice and meat. Note bad for $15 / bottle. Best with food.
May 28, 2017 - Straight forward fruit, very nice with smoked chicken.
February 4, 2017 - Dark garnet in the glass. Very aromatic, blueberry, floral and spicy notes. Palate is a lovely balance of tangy acidity and dark fruit: blueberries, cassis. Some steel and pepper in the finish. I am not a fan of big fruity typical Aussie/Cali style wines, and I love this. Interesting to see the enormous range of ratings this wine gets...fruit bomb fans don't like it, savory wine fans find it very nice indeed.
December 20, 2016 - Assez bizzare comme vin, on s'attend à une bombe au fruit sur-extrait, pas vraiment, c'est végétal au gout, il y a des poivrons?
Un peu de bleuets et de de poivre mais assez discret, finale assez longue et sur la chauffe, pas vraiment apprécié.
August 24, 2016 - If given a blind tasting, would say this is a typical Cali cab or fruity Pinot = lacks the essence of an Aussie Shiraz. But easily drinkable for the price point on a Wednesday night. Cheers.

Are you game? Je m'attendais à quelque chose de spectaculaire, d'incompréhensible, du jamais vu. Déception. Entendons-nous bien. Il s'agit d'un bon shiraz dans ce qu'il y a de plus classique pour ce cépage. Rien de surprenant, rien d'extravagant. Are you game? Mets-en! Parfait pour connaitre les shiraz australiens. Buvez et passez au suivant!

January 31, 2016 - Solid table wine Shiraz at the Costco at 11/btl. Had with rack of lamb and flex to chocolate desert. Nice value sip.
