Red with pinkish rim. On the nose this winner from Raka delivers spice and black fruit, and perhaps a hint of chocolate. It rewards the palate with plum and pepper, with very well balanced tannins and acidity. A medium tail of plum and spice. This is definitely my favourite from Raka, and a great player amongst some bigger league higher priced Shirazes.
