I am drinking something different from other commentators
Screw cap keeps this remarkably fresh. Never a "grear" wine, this is providing ample fruit and acidity to keep in a good drinking window for the next three years at least 88-89. Food required

This is my 2nd bottle and the taste has improved in the past year. The wine is medium red color and transparent. It has a decent black fruit nose on opening, but this dissipates quickly. The taste is light-medium fruity red, quite different to my preferred Australian Shiraz. Overall well enough made, but lower cost and lesser quality than I normally prefer.

Wine is deep red but transparent to light. Limited aroma. Taste has some fruit but limited taste and mouth appeal. Some initial flavor very quickly dissipated. No obvious flaws. Basically a well made lower cost wine. Considerably better than the Jacobs Creek Reserve I had the evening before. I scored this bottom of the 80-85 pt range.

PnP. Correct color. Plum cassis aroma with a bit of a burnt rubber note. Cooked flabby and oxidized with a sharp finish. Pass
