Iconic in 5-10 years. Opens with a lot of pepper, structured, masculine, huge aging potential, austere palate with subtly gripping tight tannin. It's like a young fiery thoroughbred stallion roaring around the paddock.

Air, time (4hrs) and the correct temp bring reflection, calms the fire and the velvet covered iron first emerges. Gentle fruit laiden spice nose, deep characterful palate, fleshy full mouth tannin.
Excellent now, world class in time.

ALDI's top shelf Shiraz and I was pleasantly surprised. At $20, it's up there with Pepperjacks 2014, and more mature in the bottle. — 9 years ago

Wow, snuck a delicious Sask ale on here! This is closer to a porter with a distinct toasted malt flavour. Drink at cellar temp, don't be a knob! — 11 years ago
