Wow--impressive and unexpected expression of shiraz! Opens w maraschino cherry, ripe plum and blackberry followed by notes of ground pepper, coffee and vanilla bean. Aromas of bonfire smoke linger. Spiced fruit is generous but not overripe on palate, focused acidity and soft tannin, with a smoky chocolatey finish.

Starting to show rim variation. Deep, dark blackberry with steeped black tea, eucalyptus and licorice. Structure still holds strong with tannin balanced by juicy blue and blackberries. This really pops with Norwegian milk chocolate. In a great place, drink now.
