The palate is more austere with a greenness noted. It's med bodied with medium tannin that are fairly integrated. The fruit fades quickly leaving the alcohol on the finish.
Nose better than palate.

Medium-intensity nose of dark berries, lots of smoke, and cocoa. Rich, silky palate with some prickly red fruit. Fairly simple, but rich, with a hint of sweetness and a note of cocoa. Fairly short finish. Simple, big, but also a nice crowd pleaser. Okay.

NEWTS Tasting. D'Arenberg - Style over substance or substance over style (Newcastle upon Tyne): Unoaked shiraz. Nose is very inviting; smoky and deep with slight eucalyptus. A touch of rubber even. Inviting and open.

Liked it less this time. Don't think it was well made.

A fine wine for the price. Not extraordinary but for the price, a nice wine.
