Firm in texture, this dense Shiraz shows a savory edge of meat and herb to the black fruit flavors, finishing with a licorice note. The tannins have some grip. Best after 2008. 2,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Barossa Select to Add

Warm, rich, very succulent red plum jam aroma. Big mouthfilling wine. Ultra-spicy. Endless flavour, great balance.

A terrific value, this boasts knockout aromas of blueberry pie and cracked pepper, followed by a velvety, rich texture and flavors that pick up hints of additional spice, grilled meat and black olive. It juxtaposes ripeness, texture and complexity to make a complete package worth cellaring until 2010 and drinking over the following 10 years.——J.C.(11/1/2007)—— 93
