Reviews 88 pts – Wine Enthusiast Magazine: Aromas of red berry, wild cherry, clove and cinnamon give this Shiraz a stylish start. Flavors of red fruit, spice and anise are integrated and smooth. Well structured but drinkable now. The lingering finish offers pepper, anise and spice. - S.K. (12/31/2009) - 88
Tasting Notes:
Inviting, dark, ruby red color. Strong liquorice, red fruits and wild cherry aromas, well integrated with subtle oaking. Flavors of red fruits and almost a touch of saltiness imparted by spicy liquorice. A stylish, elegant wine, with a long-lasting, smooth finish.
Be sure to decant this wine for some essential oxygenization to bring out the full aromas and flavors. Chill to 67°F. for best results.
