Deep, dark red colour, with a faint trace of purple as well as brick-red. The bouquet is earthy and savoury, walnutty, mellow, developed and also tinged with the smell of the cork. A trace of mint. It's big and gutsy, savoury and drying in the mouth, with ample soft tannins and a chalky texture, but the overall impression is of an oak-driven wine which de-emphasises fruit and regional identity. It also lacks freshness, and it's possible there's a smidgin of TCA here.

Very deep garnet-black with a purple rim, the 2009 Meshach Shiraz offers up a pronounced perfume of potpourri, powdered cinnamon, chocolate box, menthol and incense over a core of creme de cassis and prunes. Full-bodied, rich and seductive in the mouth, it offers layer upon layer of evolving black fruit and exotic spice flavors supported by firm, grainy tannins and balancing acidity. It finishes with great length. Drink it now to 2024+.
