Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

This is a delicious Shiraz from the Yarra Valley in Australia. Tasty and easy drinking. Fruit forward and nicely balanced. Showing lovely complexity on the nose.
Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Feels like a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend. Very interesting.
Thank you Scott for sharing this with me.
I did not decant it, but let it open in the bottle. Good right out of the bottle, and gets better after 90 minutes of airtime.
100% Shiraz grapes were handpicked, and aged for 12 months in large oak barrels.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
