Body of paint thinner and permanent marker. No better on palate. Pretty sure is bad sour at the end

Overly buttery and surprisingly flat. I would've liked more plum and less vanilla.

I think this is the best Shiraz I've had in a while 😱 Has a very rich taste! Great plum flavors, mid bodied, and a great oak taste that I can't get out of my head!! Would buy again! 😊

Inky in color with a purplish rim.

Nose of blackberries, plums, cloves, cedar, leather, licorice, earth, spices, peppercorn, barnyard, eucalyptus, tar and bitter herbs.

Full bodied and austere, with medium plus acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, bell pepper, oak, vanilla, clove, tobacco, coffee, vegetables, vinegar and peppercorn.

Tart finish with medium tannins and tart cherries.

This Australian Shiraz, is a good food wine, but not a sipping wine at all. Very harsh, yet drinkable. Unbalanced and simple and hot at the back of the throat.
An additional year in the bottle won't hurt.

Aged in French and American Oak barrels.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Drunk in 2019. Smooth, fruity and well-rounded after 18 years.
