This is a full bodied wine with a dark plum appearance. It has aromas of black fruits like blackberries and cherries with hints of burnt toast, peppers and chocolate . A rounded wine with a touch of sweetness. Best drinking to 2018. A 'Great Value' rating of -3.9 'Neutral Value 4 $' see more at; http://bit.ly/1mgfquP

This was really great, seems to have matured well. Somehow it tasted much older than it really was, in a good way. Like 5+ year old. Everything nicely integrated here, still rather light bodied for Shiraz but plenty of flavour. Wouldn't hold it much longer.

Something to age a little longer for sure. Fairly standard new world taste profile as i would expect. For the very low price here, this is darn good. Dark and a little brooding on nose and palate with smoke, dark berries, and some light menthol on finish. With a chill, this mellows.
Buy some and drink in 2014.

Poor effort from them. Guess I will stick to their Carmenere, which is actually pretty solid for the money.

Rather light bodied for a Shiraz, otherwise okay at this price. I've had better CdD Shiraz in the past though. 84-85.
