This is 100% Shiraz from Adelaide in Australia. It is a single vineyard wine and it is stunning. There was a time this was an affordable bottle and less expensive alternative to Grange, but both have seen steep escalation of their pricing. Still, once in a while, this is doable. Inky purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is great with black raspberries, chocolate, black olives, leather and nutmeg. Full bodied. Great vibrant texture. Nice acidity. On the palate, this is complex and also delicious. Black raspberry fruit with layers of fruit, earth and char. Long finish. This is still quite young with medium tannins. It should evolve for another ten to twelve years and drink well for twenty after that. This drinks well on its own and will work well with roasted meats or veggies. Indian food would work well, too.
