These Samuels wines are always so enticing on the nose, they feel miles apart from most other wines from the vale... Has the beautiful floral note, close to lavender, with a lovely jubey feel along with proper red liquorice, blackberry and some exotic middle eastern spices. No more than medium bodied, with flavours similar to that of the nose but lacks a bit of intent and authority.

A great example of shiraz from #mclarenvale chocolate, spice, mocha. Great balance and structure.

That’s Shiraz I enjoy. Not too big but showing the variety properly. We drank it too fast though. Curious what it would have been like after 2-3 hours. Thanks @Brad Page
