Medium ruby red with garnet edges. Asian five spice on the nose, crushed gravel, pepper and dark fruits. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and medium bodied. Minerality on the palate with some dark berries, pepper and some spices. Medium plus to long finish. Drink till 2020.

16/20 (90/100)

Типичный австралийский шираз, сухой, перечный, интенсивный. Никакой сладости, весомо, красиво.

Unexceptional, powerful, fruity, spicy aromas; low acid-high alcohol, smooth tannins, and ripe jammy fruits and a hefty portion of oak. Had with "happy outdoor piglet"-filé and stomped Essunga-potatoes - which paired fairly well. At Albert's Trollhättan, Sweden.

Интеллигентное вино.
Эвкалиптово- перечный нос, ширазные фрукты и ягоды, немного бочка, в развитии лак.
На вкус ну очень складное. Несладкое, некислое, умеренное телом, аккуратное танинами, сооочное, солоноватое, вкусное.

This has a nice aromatic nose that balances out with the taste. This is a classic 2012 shiraz that should be tried.

#atlasofwine felt like taking a good picture tonight! I've been calling Atlas "The Superlative Kitten" because of our calling him the fluffiest, handsomest, cuddliest cat. He's also the most photogenic. (Proud dad disclosure.) McLaren Vale shiraz here and a darn good one! Loaded up on the lavender/violet, ripe forest blueberry jam with fresh cracked white pepper, dare I say eucalyptus, mint jelly, sandalwood. The palate delivers fresh dark fruit and is drier than expected. 👏🏼

Черешня, малиновое варенье, мясо на гриле, чёрный молотый перец. Не сложно, но гармонично. Среднетелое, во вкусе вишня, малина. Достаточно высокая кислотность. Пряно-перечное послевкусие. 15,5/20
