First impression: Ribena all the way - blackcurrant cordial nose, palette, and finish. After 3 hope hours, nose gives way to some black pepper, and overall the typical (hoped for?) Shiraz properties come in... cheap, and behaves accordingly.

Signature Barossa style with cool herbal notes. Vintage is sitting pretty right now. No need to wait. Acidity is at a good place and tannins give a supple pull on the palate. Cheers!
