This Shiraz is very easy to drink, not necessary a good thing!, it has just the right amount of spice and fruitiness. As a general rule of thumb, the darker a red wine the younger it is, the lighter it is, the older it is, this wine is just the right colour. It has pepper as the main aroma, and it has a lovely taste of blackberries, blackcurrants and plums. As I have said before, I am quite fussy about red wine although I liked this one. It taste great with spaghetti bolognese and doesn’t have a bad aftertaste. Also it is not too acidic.
The ideal accompaniment to enjoy with red meats such as venison or beef steak as well as mushroom based dishes.
