A spectacular wine still showing lots of black fruit along with developing leather, coffee, sweet notes, and some nice menthol. Palate is elegant with plenty of bramble fruit and spice. Texture is velvety without the typical Aussie Shiraz milkshake effect. Finish is a solid medium. — 12 years ago

Medium body. Had it with lasagna and it paired beautifully! Cherry, blackberry with a bit of that oak aging effect. Had a nice finish. Will definitely buy again. — 12 years ago

Wow. We're drinking this with a dessert cheese plate and it is exquisite. The big winner pairing is Red Hawk, followed by Valdeon. The wine gives a toasted apricot essence on the nose and a rich lingering palate of dried apricots. When paired with the Red Hawk it gives an Amaretto effect. The sweetness also pairs nicely with the salty Valdeon, each balancing the other out and somehow improving each. — 12 years ago
