Really nice, slightly more austere because of a bit cooler climate

Magnum bottle to celebrate CRW'16. Jammy, soft tannins. Delicious and drinkable

Disappointing. Especially for the airport markup. Modest nose. Thin. Annoying bite at the end. Not as complex as what I love in a Shiraz.

Jammy, oaky, and alcohol in the nose. Dry pepper on the palate straight out of the bottle. It then turns into a very spicy Shiraz with notes of oak, currents, chocolate and blackberry. If you like spicy Shiraz, this could be a decent buy. I myself like 'a' da spicy.
