A reasonable cheap Shiraz. Not great, but drinkable. Have with red pizza, burgers, ribs, red pasta. Will hold its own from a strength perspective. Pretty tannic even at 6 years. Thought based on the price point it would have mellowed to a soft grape juice at this point.
A lot of chalk, earth, graphite. Feel like I'm licking a wet stone. Don't get much else. Maybe some cedar.

Black fruits, spice, toasted oak. A bit on the astringent / bitter side, which bolstered the acidity a bit. I noticed some reduction / rubber off-odors, though not too overwhelming. Not a very good wine.

Probably best consumed a year or two ago, some fruit, with pepper notes which made it palatable.

Heavy black fruit and some musk is followed by mouth-filling sourness. We made a valiant effort to drink it but half the bottle went down the drain.
