“Vibrant. Classy young Shiraz, toast & spice with red/black cherry. Cherry spice, bit clunky, gritty tannins. Food : neither detracts nor enhances”

“Very dark colour with concentrated black fruits, firm tannin and good length that matches well with the dish and becomes a little softer”

“Very deep crimson/purple. Minty, spicy blackcurrant fruit. Plush fruit, firm tannin, fresh acid. Food: slightly too fruity for the food.”

“Rich ripe and round fruit. Slight clove and black pepper like characters with great blackberry notes. Ripe chewy tannins with a dark berry fruit finish. Beef ribs go well with this wine as the tannins are toned down nicely.”

“Deep red, creamy, oaky crushed ripe redberries, blackcurrant dense concentrated nose. Med-full, dry, tannic, finely textured ripe juicy tannins, balanced concentrated oaky dark BC fruit, crushed berries. Deepened flavour and texture of the wine, brought out chocolate earthy notes of the beef dish.”

“Brilliant deep crimson colour. Ripe mulberry and plummy notes on the nose. Very rich and ripe with lovely plummy fruit and good complexing oak handling, very long and fresh. Really needs food to show its best.”
