Dense purple in colour with a spicy, cigar-box and blackberry nose with a note of tar; medium to full-bodied, dry with blackcurrant and plum flavours with lively acidity and a firm tannic finish.
I didn’t know that there was a strain of owls that barked so I checked it on the ‘net – and there is! This Shiraz is opaque purple in colour with a savoury bouquet of blackberries with a note of iodine. Medium to full-bodied, it’s dry, firmly structured with the flavour of ripe black plums carried on lively acidity. Ideal for barbequed meats and ribs.
Dark ruby. Intense red and black fruits and a good deal of oak point to a loaded wine. Indeed it is, but there is a surprising freshness to the palate thanks to the biting acidity. Intense mid-palate with powdery tannins. Generous in every way, but not really harmonious.
Full ruby. Somewhat shy nose of ripe red berries, a little oak. The palate follows with a ripe fruity taste, the acidity slightly tingles the tongue, but it is overall quite fleshy and not without freshness, thanks to an edge of eucalyptus in the finish. Drink up this blend of Shiraz, Cabernet and Merlot.
Good varietal Cabernet Sauvignon nose showing blackcurrant, green herbal scents, spicy clove and a pinch of cinnamon. Ripe blackberry flavour leads off on the palate, with secondary blackcurrant supported by moderate tannins, well-balanced acidity and a splash of dark chocolate. A polished medium weight Cab, drinking well now.
Dense purple in colour; cedary, blackcurrant nose; medium to full-bodied, fresh and lively on the palate with blackcurrant and plum flavours finishing on supple tannins.
Opaquely deep plum red. Nose of vanilla, eucalyptus and blackberry. Medium-bodied, rich fruity and concentrated, in lovely balance with a long finish. Flavours of black cherry and some herbal, green pepper undertones. Will improve for a couple of years.
