Thoroughly enjoyed it, for the first time in 5 bottles. Held up well against the (better) Billi Billi Shiraz. But this is long, deep, smooth and round. Delightful, with or without food.

Deep ruby hue, blackberry, touch of raspberry and cherry. Dense rich palate, with some spice but not too much, cinnamon and a little clove. medium finish, good example of a decent SA shiraz

Opaque purple. Inviting fruity nose - promise a rich plummy palate but crucially doesn't suggest a cooked, jammy wine. Impressive. There's a hint of a cinnamon spiciness which carries through on the palate, which also delivers the plummy, blackberry fruit that the nose suggested at. There's a bit of a burn on the finish, which attacks a little bit earlier than you'd like, creating a slight moment where the threshold of spiciness is overstepped, but a solid, economical example of Aussie Shiraz.
