Fresh, quite medium bodied. Dark berries, teeny tiny whiff of farmyard. Reductive when opened but calmed down after 30 mins or so in the decanter. Quite straightforward but very good depth to palate. NO creamy, sweet oak here. Fruit comes first and shines through. Tannins are fine grained and well worked with high acidity. I think this will improve and would leave for another year or so, just to gain a little more complexity. Fruit concentration and structure certainly there

Tasted during a South Australia vineyard safari. Medium purple. Fruity nose around red fruits and berry. On the palate medium bodied with good acidity and medium tannins. This is a fresh version of an Aussie Shiraz.
