  Ninety minute decant after half a glass; in retrospect, didn't change character. Somewhat closed nose of blackberry with a bit of pepper and vanilla oak. Solid and well integrated tannic backbone with a medium to thick mouthfeel. One dimensional cherry flavors for the palate. Not flawed, just lacking any complexity. Redeeming medium length finish. Throws a bit of sediment at the end.

  I disagree with the naysayers who believe that this is not a good wine. It has clear cherry and pine flavors, is well-balanced and works well both with and without food. The finish is a bit short, but there are no other flaws.

  Blackberry, plum and vanilla on the nose. Medium bodied with tannins well integrated. Ordinary raspberry and cherry flavors forward palate, some spice mid-palate. Decent medium length finish, although a medicinal aftertaste is present. May have been reasonable at the original price point, however I bought this late at a premium.

  a disappointing Aussie Shiraz; bland and no full mouth joy; where is the 90 point WA coming from?
