A solid effort. Plenty of Hunter leather adding some savoury flow to the raspberry and cherry fruit. Medium bodied with plenty of drive and verve for a 15 year old. Just a little underwhelming.

Larger styled than I expected with a depth of fruit you'd expect in Australian shiraz. All present and correct but lacking some of that savoury, tobacco, mineral character I expected.

Just too much for me and the alcohol ripped the finish. Blackberry and raspberry, lots of coconutty oak. Very ripe indeed with licorice over the deep fruit. Others liked it more.
