Anyone itching for a huge old-vine Shiraz with the thickness of motor oil and powerful Port and barrel influences will love this 15%-alcohol bruiser. Which means fans of leaner, more graceful wines need not apply. The palate is more about weight than particular flavors, while the finish is equally sweet and oaky. Now it's satisfying to drink in a young Port way; in about four more years it should be properly settled. Cellar Selection. —M.S.
