This Shiraz's spicy aromas were identified as barbecue marinade by one reviewer, and black pepper by another. Add spiciness to leather, caramel, coffee and earth—no one identified the bouquet as outwardly fruity—and you've got a winning opening to an excellent wine. Stably cedar palate, plus tart cherry, herb and sweet caramel notes; a tad lean in the mouth, but smooth nontheless. Finishes with firm tannins, hay and cedar. Top Value.
