Average. Peppery but no finish. Perhaps a decade in the cellar could improve it but just quaff it now and buy something else.

Meh. Perfectly pleasant. But no depth or complexity.

Very full bodied Shiraz. Would have decanted if to do it again. Hearty tannins of cherries, vanilla, jam and oak. Give time to breathe- paired nicely with a meatball rice dish
