This was a very popular wine among friends. Inky purple in color. The nose has black raspberries, roasted herbs, slight roasted meats and black pepper. On the palate, juicy black raspberry fruit. Slightly jammy. A bit sweet. "Old school" Australian Shiraz but within reason. Not over blown for the style. This will need big and/or spicy food. It also works very nice as a cocktail wine.

Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is tight at first, then shows some black olives. With air, black raspberries, char and black pepper, too. Full bodied. Lovely lush texture. On the palate, jammy black raspberries. Some heat. Long finish. This is a big wine and could use about five years of cellaring. It is nice now, but will improve by 2 to 3 points. Hold for five and drink for fifteen after that. Nice on its own, this will hold up to spicy food such as Indian, very nicely.
