Blood venous in colour (vampires will love the colour, but it's not blood yo!) with medium+ smoked mesquite on the nose.
This is a throw back to what started the "Oz" Shiraz craze many moons ago before they went overboard and decided to overplant & make their Shiraz’s into sweet pepper bramble jam.
Positives: Very smooth drinking and lots of flavor going on here with mild cedar, plums, roasted red peppers, white peppers, tar, dark cherry, bramble, chocolate, mocha, cinnamon & cloves. Full body with medium to medium+ tannins, good acidity, a long length and the alcohol is well integrated.
Negatives: None
Drink now on or over the next 3 years on its own or pair it with beef brisket or Cheetos.
