March 17, 2021 - In a transition period as the fruit slowly subsides and tertiary characters are lurking around the corner. A bit oak is shining through and is still waiting for its integration. Has some backbone left for a few more years.
Not overly complex but quaffable. -

December 6, 2016 - When I tasted this, I got the impression that the wine’s style was somewhere in between a former full-bodied, warm and smooth variant of South Australian Shiraz and the more taut, cool-climate style of the Northern Rhône. The bouquet shows notes of blackcurrant, blackberries, plums in milk chocolate, cardamom, licorice, some roast chestnuts and cinnamon. Full-bodied, with racy, crisp acid that helps to provide with much freshness. Notable, polished tannins that retain a light bite, as well as a well-integrated alcohol (14.5%). Flavors of blackberries, plums, leather and chocolate cherries meet with wood, as well as subtle nutty and peppery notes. Nothing fat and overpowering here, but rather compact and contoured and with drive. Long-lasting finish.
Irgendwie ein Mittelding zwischen dem früheren warmen, kräftigen und geschmeidigen Shiraz aus Südaustralien und der kühleren, strafferen Variante von der Nordrhône. In der Nase entdecke ich Cassis, Brombeeren, Pflaumen in Vollmilchschokolade, Kardamom, Süßholz, etwas geröstete Maronen und Zimt. Im Mund hat der Wein eine frische, knackige Säure und ist körperreich, ohne jedoch unelegant zu wirken. Präsente, polierte Tannine mit leichtem Biss und merkbare aber gut integrierte 14,5 Vol.-%. Noten von Brombeeren, Pflaumen und Schokokirschen mit Leder treffen am Gaumen auf Holz, einer etwas pfeffrigen Würzigkeit und einer leichten Nussigkeit. Kein fetter Wein, sondern mit gutem Trinkfluss, kompakt und durchaus konturiert. Langer Abgang.1 person found this helpful Comment -

July 12, 2015 - Its a full bodied Shiraz that I actually don't think is that bad. Everyone else seems to be hating on it though which makes me feel like an outcast
When I decide on a South Australian Shiraz it has all the qualities I look for.
Big mainly plum fruit, lots of oak and length is pretty reasonable1 person found this helpful Comment
