This opaque purple-colored, stylish, big but graceful Australian Shiraz seems to look to Europe for its inspiration. No wimpish red, it reveals a restrained, measured personality along with plenty of black fruits as well as subtle notes of oak, licorice, pepper, and camphor. Sweet, pure, and attractive, it should be consumed over the next 7-8 years.Importer: Rob McDonald, Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 258-9552
