I love the bottle and the name. It's strange, but with screw cap and only 2011, there are already signs of age and evolution. Very nice except for the warmth, it has good acidity and ripe red fruit, but I'm not sure it will evolve well. #shiraz #australianwine

Like being attacked by a huge, fruity monster... that's been marinated in ink, boiled in ink, and left to steep in ink.
Needs lots of air, steak, and a knife and fork.

A mellow Shiraz. The most drinkable Shiraz I've had. I'm loving Mr. Melton.
