Aussie Tasting (Minneapolis, MN): This is what I call a crowd pleaser in a good way. Bright fruit, floral, earth and pepper. Medium finish. No rough edges and smooth overall wine. Many liked it.

This wine was jam packed with lots of fruit flavors, full, well balanced obviously well crafted. In its drinking window. Like most Aussie Shiraz the strong varietal character keeps it from being a great dinner wine IMO. I would have enjoyed it more on its own or with just some with cheese or nuts etc.

Dark purple in color with a short reddish/ brick rim.
Strong nose of blackberries, cooked plums, dried fruits, raisins, cedar, leather, light vanilla, tobacco, spice box, espresso, chocolates, spices, mocha, coke, graphite and peppercorn.
Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and long lasting legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate, with blackberries, plums, sweet cherries, raisins, vanilla, cedar, licorice, cloves, cola, peppercorn and earth.
Long finish with round tannins and a touch of orange peel.
This 7 year old Australian Shiraz is drinking so nicely now. The alcohol is well integrated with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel. Rich and fruit forward. Chewy and enjoyable even by itself.
Wine Spectator 90 points.
Good right out of the bottle and shows more complexity after an hour of airtime.
A delicious wine with a teeth staining color. Loved smelling on it. Peaking now.
