Seductive nose of blueberry, cassis, cedar, dark roasted coffee bean,, nutmeg, peppery spice, touch of barnyard, and hint of tobacco. Probably the most harmonious palate I’ve had in an Aussie Shiraz. The oak and alcohol are totally integrated, with ample acidity and soft elegant tannins. Powerful and graceful.

This extremely dark wine offers a nose of rough-hewn blackberry with a tiny wisp of freshly sanded wood. It's a fairly muscular package of aromas, and that heft carries onto the palate. It's a pleasing bunch of flavors, but I wouldn't call any of them elegant. This a Cab for a steak that's been bad and needs corporal punishment. Dark fruit plays for the front row with some oak spice for support. The fruit is fairly pure, though, and has an interesting dark flair which I find captivating. — 6 years ago

In stark contrast to the Shirvington, this is wonderful. If there were a wine dictionary example for olive tapenade, this would be it. A lovely balance of fruit and savory. No heat despite the 16% abv. Thanks to @Ron R for introducing me to Rudius! — 7 years ago
