| COMMENTS: |
A very typical Australian Shiraz: overly sweet and fruity with a spicy finish. Lacking in acidity to keep things in balance. People will love it, however, as long as Parker keeps rating these wines so high.

| COMMENTS: |
Dark reddish-purple. Aroma is blackberry, raspberry, black cherry, minty/leafy, graphite, cigar box, flowers, smoke, licorice, etc. Full body. Semi-sweet to semi-dry. Medium tannins. Long finish. Beautiful stuff, and an incredible value...not many wines under $20 I've scored 90+, but this is one of them. Considerable complexity and ample acidity should allow this to cellar well, but it's lovely right this minute.
