Shallow and weak. For a Shiraz, this is way too light bodied and lacking in punch and flavor. It’s a Pinot noir body and a Merlot taste.

Surprisingly sweet for a Shiraz. Almost tasted like a dessert wine with a little spice in the finish. 2016 vintage

Flat. More licorice than fruit. Got as part of selection from Virgin Wines.

Smooth, silky. Lashings of dark berries and chocolate.

Very enjoyable with multiple berries, longer finish. More forward fruit and less spice than a usual shiraz. Excellent with Tuscan pork chops. Glad to own another.

What’s Durif? Loved the combo with Australian Shiraz. Red and blackberry and cherry with a touch of oak and smoke. This was quite the fruit bomb with mild tannins and medium body. Please sir. . . I want some more.
