First off our Darioush Mezza tasting experience was amazing! This shiraz was delicious and clearly had to come home with us.
Today on the nose dark fruits, raspberries, blackberries, figs, pepper, and spice. On the tongue raspberry and dark berries, green pepper, pepper, spices. Tannins and acidity that will yield some time on this wine. Young with strong fruit and would expect a lovely balance with age. Only negative I have with this wine is that I didn't buy more!
Paired well with chicken tikka masala. Look forward to having a continued shipment of this fantastic wine.

Decanted for about an hour. Could have used a little more time. Deep inky purple. Nose of cassis and blackberry preserves. Tannins were a bit more prevalent than I remembered when I had this at a Darioush Estate dinner last year. My daughter was very enamoured with this wine when we were at the dinner last year. I was at a Darioush Estate dinner this past August and picked up a few bottles for my daughter. Popped this one as a surprise on her birthday. This wine could use about 4 years in the cellar or needs an long decant. Drink now for its fruity hedonism or wait for better balance to come.
