Nice nose of blackberries. Medium to full bodied, with a nice long finish.

Dry, high acidity, complex and good length. Medium tannins with peppers and spice flavours.

Spicy. Enjoyable. Easy drinking with character. Balanced and the typical black dark jammy fruit.

Fantastic spice right up front, savory smoked meats behind it. Aromas of blistered peppers and blackberries with an allspice and Clove finish. Right on time!

On the nose there is bacon fat, blistered shishito peppers, ready-to-pop juicy ripe raspberries, a bit of rubber, and tons of smoke. Dark berries, and cigar box and sweet, caramelized meats on the palette. Enjoyed I️t slightly cool after some brut bubbles for date night. Smoke on this level is why I️ drink Shiraz.

Черничное варенье, лакрица, нуга, сливовый ликёр. Сладковато, вязко и очень насыщенно.

Dark deep purple, rich and full bodied. Spiced fruits on the nose. Smooth jammy plummy dark fruits on the palate. Ages well, let it breath and enjoy!

Nicely balanced vanilla with blackberries and raspberry. Bold fruit yet nice soft tannins. Solid Shiraz.
