  Very youthful with bright briary fruits. Violets, mulberry, and pepper, it's lively and juicy, but just a bit tight and primary right now. I imagine this will settle nicely in the next 4 years or so. Good value and much potential here.

  With family at family cabin in Finland. Screw cap. The wine was medium to dark purple in colour and had a fruity nose, with intense blackberry, coffee and black pepper aromas as well as floral notes. On the palate, the fruity and peppery wine showed blackberry, chocolate, coffee and black pepper flavours, just enough acidity, slightly underripe tannin and very good length. The medium-bodied wine was was reasonably smooth and reasonably balanced, but did not show the perfect ripeness and concentration of prior vintages. A value Shiraz for drinking now and over the next four to five years. That said, I would not buy this vintage of this wine again.
