On palate not quite a fruit bomb but intense flavors finishing with distinct pepper notes. Long, with a good backbone. Drunk from a half-bottle (screwcap). Has a few good years yet but will probably not improve (in this format at least)
Despite the name, a serious wine

This is a pretty reliable Shiraz out of Auz at a reasonable price. Dark fruits and white pepper. A bit thin and the heat was showing even though it was served at cellar temps. I was still enjoyable after the initial burst of heat. Enjoyed with smoke ribs and BBQ chicken. Paired nicely.

Schöne Überraschung . Auf Sylt 12-2012 im Kampener Pesel zum Steak und Lamm genossen. Ein fruchtiger nicht überladener ! Shiraz mit feiner Tanninstruktur

Tar on nose, black with purple rim.

Purple in colour, sweet fruits on the nose. In the mouth a bit thin & acidic with a fair whack of tannin. Not bad

Deep purple, oak and cherry nose, berries and spice taste, nice balance and finish.
