  A ripe and forward Shiraz, not poorly made but not especially memorable either. Firm gripping tannins and an interesting grainy texture on the palate, but also stemmy and acidic. I'd have thought the alcohol was well over the stated 14.5%.

  Immediately the nose reveals a bright, very attractive shiraz, with a sort of red plum fruit character (if there is such a thing) and hints of a very good milk chocolate. Light and fresh on the palate, with some almost strawberry fruit characters. A lovely mouthfeel; fresh and classy, with the oak treatment very delicately handled. It's far from a typical Australian shiraz, and all the better for that. Some might find it a bit simple and lacking typicity, but I find it utterly delicious.
