My brother-in-law wanted to try an Australian wine so I shared this with him. He really liked it so I gifted him my second bottle. I used to love this wine but not so much anymore. 16.0 abv way too high. On first opening it was like drinking a cough syrup, thick, sweet, alcohol burn on the way down. Did improve some after being open awhile. Glad he liked it so well. blackberry vanilla blueberry plum licorice

2nd day notes. Deep inky purple. Honestly I thought this would be good but be too much of a fruit bomb. While full throttled it has a great deal of ash, smoke and charred cedar that balances the blackberries, blueberry and cherry. Full bodied with a long finish. About 94.

The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, blueberry and black currant (cassis). It tastes like blackberry, blueberry and red currant. The body is medium/full. The wine has juicy texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Wonderful. Worthy of all the great praise. For us, an easy 95+ wine.
