jessgum's Review: Its good, but old. We had it several years ago and it was fantastic, but it's lost its luster. Very earthy, mineral, truffles. Finish is ok, not great, If you have any, drink now, dont wait a minute longer!

jessgum's Review: Unique wine! Smells of dates and spice cake. Full bodied, lucsious tastes of morels, blackberries, velvety strawberries. So different from typical shiraz's. Balanced, nice finish. A steal at $30! This would be great with lamb shanks.
