Medium garnet-purple in color and scented of warm blackberries and cassis along with hints of earth, aniseed and chocolate, the medium-bodied 2012 Shiraz Mataro has a pleasant freshness to the palate and plenty of juicy fruit supported by soft tannins. It finishes medium to long, if a little straightforward. Drink it now to 2017.
