($74) Dark ruby. Smoky and meaty scents of dark cherry, plum and ripe blackcurrant. Sappy and thick on the palate, the intense cherry flavor intriguingly accented by notes of fresh bay, juniper, pipe tobacco and licorice candy. This has excellent concentration and a fat, unctuous texture. Finishes with outstanding length and superb energy and lift, with vibrant bitter cherry and cassis flavors going on and on.

Possibly the best aussie shiraz I have ever tasted. I recently had the RP96 rated 02' Command and I thought this crushed it.
Lots of cherry flavored cedar, full flavor,
but restrained without going over the top.
A beautiful beautiful wine.
Very good for the Price - QPR

This bottling is always quite impressive, this year in particular. Thick, ruby and luscious. Love the mocha notes on the end. And this is syrah and not grenache, so Grange is not really a compair point eh?? A 120 dollar bottle half price.

One of the most balanced structure aussie shiraz wines I have ever tasted. Compare to Grange!
