Jammy, sweet, and somewhat hot. Insanely fruit-forward; no "opening up" necessary, although it did get a bit smoother and less hot after some time in the glass (which I felt was an improvement, albeit only a slight one). There was a slight hint of tannin, but it was overwhelmed by the sweetness. It left my mouth feeling sticky. Overall an easy and undemanding wine -- not great, but not bad either. I thought it was tastier, more flavorful, less hot, and less syrupy than their regular Shiraz.

Odd. Crushed violets, Sulphur, and burnt grape jelly.

Nice little wine -- great flavor, nice mouthfeel and good match for pasta dish we had for dinner.

Not very good. Very jammy wine, poor construction. Left me with heartburn. Would never buy again
