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.
