"Dark, dense and creamy, complex aromas of black plum, Bing cherry, blackberry and pepper merge with licorice, tobacco, mocha and dark chocolate. This is one inky Shiraz; an explosion of dark, super ripe, wild blackberry, with a touch of cigar box finishing with a mélange of exotic spices. A pure fruit bomb…complete from attack through a long, lingering finish."

tried this at wine tasting bar and loved it...bought a bottle (over priced) and just didn't taste the same when I tried it at home. Not sure if I was supposed to decant it for a while, cause even the next day...eh it was ok. I have had some cheaper wines that I prefer even more. I do have a bottle of the layer cake malbec that I haven't tried, so maybe it will prove to be more enjoyable.

very dark beautiful purple color. Plenty of dark fruit, blackberry, and a hint of citrus aroma. Lots of fruit in flavor, with blackberry, cherry, and citrus and a light spicy end note. Nice thick body and heavy mouthfeel. Pretty darn good
