Another one with the pornographic in Alabama label. This Cycles Gladiator wine is the Shiraz from 2008 though.
Previously I'd tried the Pinot Noir from 2006 and wasn't overly impressed but this was much, much better.

A deep purple/black colour in the glass, this is a full bodied, bold wine with deep, dark fruits on the palate.
There's a lot of blackcurrant here.

A bit dry, not too tannic.

The nose is big, bold and fruity with berries and blackcurrants.

Overall, a great, big, bold delicious shiraz.
I really like this.
