The 2005 Shiraz “Nurioopta” is purple/black with a brooding nose of smoke, tar, licorice, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. Full-bodied and voluptuous, it is dense and concentrated, with gobs of spicy black fruit flavors. It will evolve for 3-5 years and drink well through 2020. 90 pts Wine Spectator 2/28/09
Smooth and focused, with a peppermint edge to the red cherry and blackberry flavors, finishing with a layer of sweet spices. Drink now through 2013.
