Everything about this wine is DARK. Deep ruby/purple color bordering on black. Aromas of black and blue fruit, Asian spices and coffee. Flavors of cooked black berry/plum/currant fruit, bakers chocolate, tar and espresso. Hint of black pepper on the long, lingering and silky finish. Extremely concentrated with lively acidity. Tannins are firm but in harmony. This is a wine you quickly take notice of. Probably at (or just past) its peak. Thanks for the wonderful gift, Petey P! — 9 days ago

2020 Vintage. Les bought it for me for Christmas 2024 and that’s when it was tasted like a $35 bottle. — 3 months ago

Like the 2018 this is definitely less oaky than previous years
Deep almost opaque ruby colour
Good balance of fruit and acidity with integrated tannins and lasting finish
Abv 14.5 but doesn’t overwhelm taste. — 8 days ago

Purchased from Marion Hotel and Cellars near Adelaide, we enjoyed this in American River on Kangaroo Island. This full-bodied Shiraz evolved beautifully over the evening, revealing layers of dark berries, pepper, tobacco, Australian bark and earth, and a hint of anise, with a spicy finish. Balanced and complex, it earned full bonus points for how much we enjoyed it. A great wine, albeit with a screw cap. — 2 months ago

Wonderfully complex dark red wine. Aroma is spicy, with notes of black pepper, clove, tobacco. Definitely some minerality, like slate, limestone and a touch of brimstone. Very woody but not the cocoa and vanilla more very subtle green woods. Full bodied with balanced sweetness and a strong tannic finish. Had would spag bol. Delicious on its own and with food. — 2 days ago
