Beautiful Aussie wine. Lots of raspberry, mixed with some black fruit. Fruit forward for sure but not overly extracted. Tannins help balance this out as well. Nicely done.

A little oak and a little fruit. Not bad. Wife didn't like it though

Put on cycling shorts, ride in 35 degree Celsius for 3 hours then take a big whiff of the crotch. That's the nose on this wine. NEEDS time to breath. Rough to start but softens up to reveal a pillowy palate.

Smells of classic syrah with an interesting hint of mint. Medium tannins, dark berries and a little cherry. A bit tart at first and long flavors. Good but doesn't reach the price tag.
