From 375, under screw cap. A palate that is plump, yet not full of fat. underlying eucalyptus flavor. Dark berry all day long on the palate. still full of energy. Red cherry jumps out with a mouthful of my salad dressed with Garlic ExpressionsTM.

Very pretty dark fruit nose, worked well with grilled burgers. Had a 2nd glass after dinner and it struck me how low acid this wine is. Very flabby in the finish. Probably wouldn't buy again as without food I found it hard to finish.

Obvious Shiraz nose. Black fruit, dark chocolate, and deft spices, with a pleasant hard candy aspect. Rich and full, broad and long, linear and rigid. Savory, umami flavors are complemented by lots of spice-laden, red fruit, and bitter chocolate on the finish. Very appealing.

I forgot how much I love this wine. Smooth, lovely fruit flavor but with complexity. But it's the smooth finish that makes this special.

Slightly reduced notes on opening, but they blew off in short order. A nice wine of bright berry fruit and creme de cassis. Sleek and well made, but nothing to write home about.

Red fruit on the nose, dusty oak, sweaty saddle. Dark fruits on the palate, chewy blueberry, beef blood, cured meats. Some complexity here, starting to develop secondary notes. Will survive further cellaring.

Le vin est tr�s fonc� sur fond violac�. Ar�mes de raisins Concord, de bleuets, de m�res, de la fum�e et un c�t� floral est pr�sent aussi. Ce vin est gourmand dans un style fruit� affirm�, bien balanc�, mais sans tomber du c�t� lourd, alcooleux et pataud du vin. Bien aim� cette rencontre avec un pays que j'ai pratiquement cess� de visiter pour ses vins...
