Excellent, 13.5% alc. Colour: deep black berry, quite bright still Bouquet: blackberry, violets, savoury, delicatessen, charcoal Palate: blackberry, blueberry, as bouquet, liquorice, fresh and full bodied, fine grained tannins, and long clean finish, black pepper, seemingly much younger than it is. Quite elegant though very substantial. May 2016

Purchased this wine in Sydney a couple years ago for around US $21, upon the recommendation of a local wine shop owner.
Very dark purple color. Aromas of wet asphalt, blackberries, espresso, and Snickers bars. Flavors of black raspberries and hazelnuts. The wine had a light syrupy texture, with a chewy sweet fudge finish. Tannins were well-dispersed. Lacking some depth, but a very pretty shiraz.

Very nice. Fully mature. Some charcoal notes. Long and sinewy.
