The whole spectrum of blue fruits, blackberries, dark cherries, black cherry cola, lavender & violets on the nose. Leaner body style, medium tannins that are primarily dusty but as the same time slightly chewy, dark chocolate, tarry notes, dry stems, underbrush, strawberry preserves follow, anise, medium leather & nice acidity. A ripe & juicy finish that transitions to medium dry tannins.

A joy to drink. Note: must love fresh raspberry and macerated strawberry.

Quite like this taste. Not so soft, but include chocolate with it.

Another beauty from Wirra Wirra. Of course it's a bit young still, but already good to drink. Lots of spices, plum, soil, a bit of vanilla from the oak. Wish they'd use more corks though.
