The label and name of this wine may be attention grabbing, but the liquid inside doesn't feel as rebellious as one would hope. It's mostly Shiraz, but the 10% of Mataro is visible if you look for it, in the form of savory, herbal notes. There are aromas of ripe plums, toffee, vanilla, red licorice and floral tones, too. Tannins are sandy in texture, sitting alongside stewed plums, but there's a flatness and a slight sourness to this wine. The winemaking doesn't feel heavy handed; it's just lacking verve and freshness.
