The rich, intense taste hits you right from the start. But as is common for Australian Shiraz around this price point, it does not completely cover up the sharp edges. Shiraz lovers will score this higher than I do.

Pepper, leather, black cherry, and nuts on the nose. Intensely fruity with big tannins that are starting to soften. Full-bodied wine that will improve over the next 3 years and is excellent value.

stunning Shiraz. Smoky, heavy, full of dark fruit and hints of chocolate.
Went really well with BBQ burgers.
