RP: 90 Points

Deep red. menthol-tinged cherry and plum aromas, with notes of sweet bay and licorice. Fat, almost oily in texture, with candied dark berry, wild strawberry and cherry jam flavors. The silky, lush finish is weighty, a bit hot and slightly syrupy.

A stylish red, distinctive for its spicy black cherry, berry and subtle mint flavors on a velvety background, finishing almost plush and peppery, lingering well. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2008.

Medium ruby-red. Bright aromas of raspberry, blackberry, plum, mocha, bitter chocolate and subtle oak spices. Then less sweet and rich in the mouth than the basic shiraz bottling, with slightly dry-edged, herbal flavors. But finishes firm and fairly persistent.
