Ce vin corsé de fort calibre illustre avec brio les qualités du shiraz d'Australie du Sud: un parfum intense de prunes mures rehaussé de poivre, équilibré par des tannins tendres de raisin et de chene et une finale longue et veloutée. En parfaite

Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows:

This premium, full bodied wine is an outstanding example os South Australian Shiraz, displaying an intensity of ripe plum with pepper spice, balanced by soft grape and oak tannins, leading to a lingering smooth finish. An ideal accompaniment to most red meats, game and cheeses. A wine that will develop further with cellaring.

Of all the Jacob's Creek wines that I have tried, this is one of my favorites. Dark crimson color in the glass and flavours of blackberry, spicy oak and cloves in the glass.
