Aussie Shiraz Tasting & Friday wine night at UE Straits (1855 and UE Straits Wine): Appearance is clear deep ruby colour. Nose is clean, pronounced intensity with aromas of coffee, dark fruit, mild spice, and some soy notes. Medium acidity with high tannins, but smooth and integrated already. Full bodied with nice mouth-feel. Flavours of blueberries and licorice. Long finish. Quite ready to drink. Could go well for another 3-5 years.

This is in a very good drinking window now.
Good balance of acid, fruit and spice.
Tannins are smooth and as velvety as an Oz shiraz will ever be.
