At first this had very little aroma or fruit. It was hot with hints of chocolate and vanilla. With some air and time the heat mellowed and a delicious blackberry fruit came on. Herbs, stone, chocolate, vanilla, and smoke, with just the right amount of acidity and tannins. — 8 years ago
Very nice, and rich with hints of cherry, and other berries. Great to pair with steak, and a salad with other fruits. — 9 years ago

Beautiful McLaren Vale Estate Wine. Blackberry flavors — 9 years ago
The garnet/purple '12 Shingleback Shiraz 'Red Knot' offers a rich nose of black cherry, plum and earth aromas with secondary hints of spice, tar, licorice and dark cocoa. The medium-bodied mouth is lively with huge jammy blackberry and anise flavors, with subtle oak and smooth tannins. Vibrant long finish. A lot of wine for the money! — 10 years ago
