Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Dark Ruby with dark berry fruit aromas adding earthy spice and cedar. On the palate this wine has complex flavors of blackberry and blueberry with licorice, cacao, oak and vanilla. Fine dusty tannins, peasant mouthfeel, full-bodied, long ending with a nice earthy spice finish. Aging well, good now, has room to run over short term.

Lots of juicy red fruit, pluot, and some pomegranate early on. Lots of spice. White pepper

17/20 (93/100)

Цвет черно-рубиновый, густой. В сильном аромате оливки, соленые огурцы, черешня, вишня, легкая аптека, имбирь, немного ванили. Богато, плотно. Вкус весьма насыщенный с тонами чернослива, оливок, вишни. Густой. Долгое послевкусие, отлично оформленные танины.

Deep dark purple with a black core. The nose is big, explosive and packed with herbs, cola, licorice and plums with subtle hints of earth and tar. The palate is just as explosive with flavors of chocolate. Licorice and black fruits. Long finish, balanced but powerful...even at 12 years old!

Black cherry, lively acidity, not the quality of red fruits I remember from 2006 vintage

Probably the best Shiraz I tasted. Berries bouquet, fruit, pepper and spice. Went exceptionally well with Margaret’s goulash.
