Wow, the extraction on this is just unreal, thick rich viscous monster w/smooth voluptuous caressing tannins, copious quantities of ripe black/blue/cherry fruit subtly dusted with spice & pepper. Some secondary layers of menthol, licorice, & damp Earth appeared on second day.

G’day mate! A delicious blend, paired well with a geese plate, burger and even wings! Smooth and tasty from the first sip. Twist off top, didn’t even need time to breathe!

15.5. U get some of that in the nose. Some tobacco. Very jammy. Tannins dissipated with air. I feel like the Shiraz dominates even though it’s just 48%

2.8. I was expecting something spicy; instead, this moderately priced Australian Shiraz was too fruity and almost sweet. On sale for $15.99, regularly $18.99.
