Very nice, with lush berry and black currant fruit along with touches of mocha and cinnamon. Wonderful spice and concentrated fruit are the stars here. Appealing tobacco undertones add interest and balance. Very good now and will age nicely for a few years. Black currant and spice are smoothed out with appealing plum notes.
Generous oak lingers on the finish.
Ready to drink now. Good oak runs throughout the concentrated currant and spicy Shiraz typical flavors. This falls into that category of syrah wines that are highly addictive. Such an ugly word. I meant enjoyable.
