The nose is quite astringent making it difficult to discern any other aromas. I detect a bit of fruit, but it's hard to say what kind. The first sip is strong with raspberries and a hint of apricot and dried figs. It is a very green wine and I expect it might be better in a few years, unless the fig overpowers it. It's also quite bitter and I think this is one better left on the shelves.
I give this bitter Shiraz a 3 out of 5 stars.
