Have to admit that I did not enjoy this as much on Wednesday evening as I did when I revisited tonight. Lots of smokey bacon notes, chewy without the abrasive tannins. Smooth finish. Smoke lingers a bit. Overall, a big change up from the over ripe fruit bomb Shiraz from a few years back. As I'm trying more and more new vintage releases of Aussie Shiraz I'll continue to say that they are BACK!! And in a good way.

Apr 2nd, 2016Nice value Shiraz that isn't too fruity or light. Good density and clarity of mouthfeel. Had with veal scallopini, great match.
