Vintage 2019 | cherry, deep intense smell, roundness, perhaps a bit tiring after a few glasses

Solid flavors of plum and cherry. An excellent pepper spice on the finish that lingers long afterward. Tannins are balanced and there are quality oak characteristics accompanied with a mild vanilla flavor. Fruit flavors are a little understated outside of the plum, but the spice is the defining characteristic.

Full bodied, soft on the palate, black berries and black current with hints of spice and chocolate. A new favorite!

No notes. Social gathering at a Portuguese friend's before the game between France and Portugal at the 2024 Euros. True to type shiraz from barossa with extended oak influence, with cocoa and vanilla, nice black pepper notes, and some nice blackberry.

3.1. Dark purple Shiraz, very heavy fruit to start, with some spices. Mediocre on the mid-palette. On sale for $15.99, regularly $19.99.

An oak, a blackberry, blackcurrant. Spicy finish. Very good wine, another bottle from this producer.
