VA on the nose that dissipated after a few minutes. Jammy Fruit, juicy fruit more fruit and even more fruit.... Dark as night, super soft, very little acidity, came around and woke up after 30 mins. Despite all of that it's still got some time left to go and it definitely fits a specific flavor profile.

Prepping for Australia; was surprised how much I liked this Shiraz. Little overdue on post, playing catch-up.

Big shiraz, deep purple color, once you open a bottle permeates the room with its scent. Rounded tannins in mouth, big and rich!
