Deep dark ruby to purple in colour with a medium+ intensity on the nose.
Positives: Not your typical jammy notes that you would find in a lot of Australian Shiraz at this price. Notes of cedar, plum, nectarines, blackberry, white & black pepper, blackcurrants, tamarind, mocha & some fried bacon. Medium to medium+ in body with medium tannins, good acidity & long length.
Negatives: There’s some heat here, which tells me that the true alcohol maybe more than 13.5%.
Interesting Points: Rosemount Diamond Label Shiraz is consistently good, and you can find it on sale a couple of times a year.
Drink now or in the next 2-3 years on its own or pair it with prime rib.

Enjoyed it but needed a good hour of decanting to really deliver a nice tasting experience. Good choice wine when you want to play it safe at a party, but don't expect too much complexity. Tasted August 2012.
