Dark magic , black fruit coming in waves. Such a surprise pepper , quince and hint of raspberry. Glad I had one tucked away. Ready to be enjoyed of you have one.

Nose: Over-ripe dark fruit & a bit of wood Palate: Medium-full body & a mild tobacco/wood astringency with mild tannins. Backbone is red fruits: tart cherry, cassis, plum, raspberry but not overly jammy. In the background, vanilla woodiness. Finish: Long & dry, a fade-out of the palate

Oak and black fruits on the nose, black fruit palette, soft tannins, blackcurrant and intense blackberry notes, medium acid, oaky vanilla towards the back, all in all a good example of Hyland.

Högintensiv brunröd färg. Medelintensiv fruktig doft med inslag av mörka bär, plommon, lakrits, mogna blåbär och choklad. Semi-utvecklad doft. Fylligt vin med balanserad syra. Fruktig smak med inslag av mörka bär, plommon och vanilj. Balanserad alkohol. Strävt med lång eftersmak.

Given as a gift. Rusty purple color. Lots of alcohol and purple fruits on the nose. Artificial blackberry notes with a contrived finish. Serviceable, but I won't try again.

Decanted for 1 hour. Ruby red in color. On the nose I get a lot of fruity berries. Really fruit forward. Slight taste of oak. Very slight acidity and tannins.

Generally love the hyland Shiraz but this vintage isn't the best. 2010 and 11 are far superior.

I would definitely purchase again. This wine does require 90 mins to 2 hours in the decanter. Upon initial opening this wine was very closed, almost comatose. After 2 hours it evolved into a nice wine for the money.

Big and fruity scent. Dark berries, herbs, blackberry, chocholat. Pepper, oak, eukalyptus. Goes very well with the Danish cheese Vesterhavsost, Austrian Ländle weinkäse and Comté from Jura.

This bottle was not as enjoyable as previous one. This was kind of flabby, needing some acidity. Hard to tell this was Shiraz.

Lots of dark fruit flavor, and a bit of pepper and spice good tannin, a little acidic for my friend. I really enjoyed it. Let it rest for a couple of hours and it gets better. Going to save the second bottle for at least a year.

Yes this is jammy, but there is decent body and overall structure here that took me by surprise....pleasantly. Very ripe, juicy acidity, and slightly spicey Shiraz fruit. There is no mistaking this as Shiraz. Better on the first day. Prettay good.

A little sweet on the fruit with dark berries, herbs, violets, mint, toasted oak and rubber. Not a bad wine but very simple and non-complex with some artificial, chemical notes in the finish.

Rough on opening this wine's personality evolves over time into a very nice personality with delectable spice notes
