December 3, 2011 - ...or 87. Interesting wine with respect to label and marketing..."Love Grass"...Nothing outstanding as others have described. Maybe needs 1-2 yrs to mellow- but otherwise has light fruit on nose and palate is acidic, "big" i guess, some tasty berry fruit and some light oak in the medium length finish. Borderline QPR. If you try, I would say stick on shelf for 1 year.

It is a nice Shiraz but nothing special. It has some lovely fruit notes and flavours but it is slightly a bit too jammy. -
