Natalie's Score: 90/100

I love a little black book reading with a sympathetic robust red wine that has a big vocabulary when it comes to aromas and flavours, like this one! Rich and full-bodied with fleshy ripe blackberry, mint and black olive aromas on the nose. Layers and smooth, with polished tannins and a long finish. Terrific mouth-watering juiciness. You put on the jazz music and I'll pour the wine, deal?

Shiraz food pairings: pork, pasta in meat sauce, steak, lamb cutlets, beef brisket, peppercorn steak.

Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Bold, flavourful and a great bargain! The nose shows mild floral, spice and berry notes while the palate screams ripe black plum, vanilla bean, anise and candied minty flavours. Enjoy this full-bodied, juicy, smooth Shiraz with pan seared rib-eye. Tasted Jan 2015 - @sommsosa | bespoketastings.a

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Wow. Love this Australian Shiraz. Loads of flavour with prominent anise, sage, strawberry, plum and spice with a hint of briny black olive. Medium bodied, medium acidity, well-balanced. Long finish with persistence or red berry, savoury sage and anise. Pair this red beauty with crustini and black olive tapenade, or a crispy baked chicken cordon bleu. Tasted Jan 2017. Rated 89/100.
