Shiraz is my preferred wine and this one is up there with those I have enjoyed the most. I like the full bodied style with huge character, nothing subtle here and 16.8% alcohol!

Intense aromas of dark cherry, chocolate and blueberry. Abundant on mulberry flavors, mocha and fresh cut beets, a bit hint of medley jelly, mouthfeel is on the fresh side of dark fruits with solid taste of cacao coating on the back end of the palate. Not overly lingering finish.

Aromas of fruit cake smothered with rum, musk, dark chocolate, and blackberry preserves. The blackberry really comes through on the palate. Nice finish and not as caustic as I feared for these hot climate, high-alcohol Aussie big reds.

Deep ruby hue. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, blueberry, chocolate, leather, pepper, strawberry, and vanilla. Medium-plus body; medium-plus tannins; and medium-plus acidity. Engaging on the nose, with a velvety, plush mouthfeel, and a long, slightly bitter finish. Well-balanced and highly quaffable stuff.

Nice and juicy, fruity. Has a bite at the end where I prefer a smoother finish

Lot of fruit. Missing the pepper and spice typical of a Syrah. Smooth but Kind of boring...
