"Medium ruby. Youthful, high-pitched aromas of blackberry, cherry, ground coffee, gingerbread and freshly cracked pepper, complicated by floral notes of violet and lavender. Tangy, sappy cherry and redcurrant on the palate, with sexy, insinuating notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and mace. An altogether suave, poised shiraz that promises immediate as well as longer-term gratification." Vinous, Jul 2005 |
