I drank this one over a couple of nights. The nose showed sweet fruits, red plums and blackcurrants, quite nutty and oaky, with a lick of tar. Strangley it is didn’t have any of the spice or minerals that I have come to expect in Margaret River Shiraz. Perhaps this is a feature of some particular sub-regions. The palate showed rich red fruits, a lovely texture but with some slightly abrasive acid. The finish is a little bumpy, and has quite a bit of cleansing acid. Perhaps a couple of years more in the bottle will see it improve.
