Whoa.  if you dislike large-scale, full-throttle Shiraz then you will hate this wine, but I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. It's 16% alc. is fully masked, it shows no heat, and the palate is broad and lush, mouthcoating, rich.  Tons of fruit - blueberry, boysenberry, a bit of chocolate.  However I would be shocked to learn this was completely dry, as it comes across as slightly sweet, and would fit perfectly at the end of the meal.  pairing with food would be a challange.  Still, really tasty stuff!
