Critic's Review: Deep purple color, ripe red berry fruit with mint and spice aromas; dry, full-bodied, black cherry and plum flavors with a touche of anise - wine-align.com
My Review: This Shiraz had a very full-bodied and earthy bouquet. It had a slight meaty aroma, mixed with bold blackberry and black cherry scents. Along with these earth tones, hints of smoke and dirt were also found complementing its dark ruby color. On the palate, this wine was very similar to its smell. Lots of smoky oak mixed with blackberries and cherries, followed by slight hints of dark chocolate. This wine was very tannic, and for being (only) 13.0% ABV, was slightly hot. Overall it was a good and very enjoyable wine on both the nose and the palate due to its full-bodied robustness.
I did not taste this wine with food.
