Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Strong, deep purple; one of the most powerful RSWs made to date, redolent of black fruits, licorice and a touch of dark chocolate; has deep-set tannins that balance the richness of the fruit; a long life ahead.

96 points The Weekend West
...shiraz immediately strikes with licorice and spice on the nose, with muted background notes of cedar and dark chocolate mocha. The palate is rich and lavishly decked out with sumptuous plums and dark fruits. The silky smooth finish belies a wine of enormous concentration and power.
