Critic Review:  "This is an extremely rich, full-bodied wine with a dark fruit core. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis and dark cherry are followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the palate."


My Review:  This Shiraz had a nice smell of blackberries and blueberries.  The taste was very interesting, with a mixture of berries, cherries and chocolate.  I enjoyed this wine as it brought out many different tastes on my palate.  There weren't very many tannins, so it wasn't too dry.  This wine reminded me of chocolate covered cherries.

I tasted this wine without food.
