Reasonble Shiraz with visible spiciness, and cherry type of flavour. As far as I remember it is more similar to 2004 vintage tasted here than 2005 vintage tasted here. I do not know the vintages in SA, but 2005 was better then 2004 and also this 2007 Shiraz. Also given its younger profile this 2007 vintage is more fruity than the older vintages, both tasted more than one year ago.
