Full dark red. Seductive, spicy and exotic on the nose, with penetrating, almost floral fruit aromas of cassis, raspberry and redcurrant complemented by leather, asphalt, mocha and chocolatey oak. Remarkably fine and supple given the intensity of its flavors; silky and smooth, with extremely persistent flavors of perfectly focused small berries. Finely balanced, with velvety tannins, moderate alcohol and subtle new oak influence. The most willowy and stylish Meshach yet made. An Australian classic.

Elegantly combines plenty of spicy, meaty notes with round, ripe cherry-berry fruit. Dark flavors of soy or oyster sauce impart a savory element, adding a bass note to the finely tuned chorus of flavors. Finishes long and velvety. Drink now–2016.——J.C.(11/1/2007)—— 92
