Still somewhat fruit forward, with high toned black fruits and noticable spiciness. Quite smooth tannins on the palate but with some rough edged acidity. Definitely a touch of elegance but not exactly what one would call complex.

Very dark color, nose opens with great aroma of back berries and flowers. Big, bold but at the same time very delicate and very tasty. Surprisingly well integrated and ready to drink. Med/long finish. Really nice wine, interesting how will it develop in 5 years...

Dinner at S and A's house (Freeman Bay, Auckland, New Zealand): Reasonable Barossa shiraz, currently in need of some time in the bottle to show interest. At the moment, it is one-dimensional, primary and lacks depth of fruit expression.
