Totally opaque black dark red colour with a dark red hue. Pepper infused dark plum and liquorice aromas rise from the glass followed by some scorched earth, dried meat and dried herb notes. Rich dark plum and liquorice fruits carry medium body weight and a fleshy yet touch meaty feel. Notions of vanillin cedar, scorched earth and peppered meats lie underneath. Good freshness with a polished yet sturdy tannin structure. Concludes refined and peppery.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Other Reviews….
Shiraz without a dash of viognier, which might explain why it oscillates between ripe dark fruit and savoury tones, including baking spices and cedary oak ... a little smoky and meaty, too. The palate is shapely with tannins and lots of them, yet finishes long and satisfying. Pat Carmody says what viognier does to shiraz is something else, but personally shiraz on its own is just as fabulous. Drink by 2033.
