91 / B+

Tasted by Mike Supple - 05 Dec 2008

Inky core with a bright purple rim. Thick blueberry jam aromas are surrounded by smoky game, earth and a lighter hint of cut violets. Rich fruit on the front palate with nice balancing acidity. Brown sugar baked ham and a touch of bacon lurk under blueberry syrup. A touch of earth joins the fruit on the finish. A very clean, fresh and well balanced Shiraz.

Smooth entry on the palate with medium acidity. Full bodied with flavors of dark cherry and orange zest. Jammy mid-palate and a somewhat short finish.
