This is quite big fruity style of Shiraz, it does not have the spiciness of Aussie ones, but it has nice lingering forest fruit with vanilla and black chocolate. It is type of wine that would be likable by many non wine experts as it has nice nose and similar fruity style of taste without complicating it with some tertiary notes like leather, etc.
