Rich and earthy with anise and black pepper. Fruitier, but complex.

A very "New World" wine with a bouquet that delivers its aromas in a very direct and unambiguous way. The grape varieties are recognizable by their main qualities: pepper, smoke, black fruits compote for syrah; structure, blackcurrant, vegetables for the cab-Sauvignon. The whole is arbitrated by notes of breeding, cedar, coconut, tobacco, balancing the duel. Gourmet attack, intense body, interesting ending, already suggesting a beautiful possible evolution (already empyreumatic notes). A reference, accessible for those interested in Australian wines

Un vin très «  New World » avec un bouquet qui délivre ses arômes de manière très directe et univoque. Les cépages sont reconnaissables sur leur qualités principales: poivre, fumée, fruits noirs compotés pour la syrah; structure, cassis, végétaux pour le cab-Sauvignon. L’ensemble est arbitré par des notes d’élevage, cèdre, coco, tabac, équilibrant le duel. Attaque gourmande, corps intense, finale intéressante, laissant déjà entrevoir une belle évolution possible (déjà des pointes empyreumatiques). Une référence, accessible pour qui s’intéresse aux vins d’Australie .

Dark red, moderate legs, cherry on the nose. Red fruit, hints of spicy cassis. Smooth, long, finish with something un- identifiable ( due to COVid). Paula’s Birthday at Briquettes steak house in Mobile AL- bacon wrapped fillet mignon, baked potato, grilled veggies & key lime pie.

Medium garnet color. After 30mins in decanter, softer tannins and still aromatic blackberries on the nose. Low acidity. Balanced, beautiful Shiraz with Thai food
