Reference to Wine Tasting 45. From the same cut as its sibling but this wine from Sarah and Sparky Marquis is made from Shiraz. Wow! The nose…blackberry, black current, cola, toffee, black Maynard wine gum, sweet potpourri, violet, spicy wood and cream vanilla all emerged out. Forward and upfront, this powerful full bodied aromatic wine is packed with complexity that rivals the Sarah’s blend…this time it’s even fruitier with a hodgepodge of spices, black pepper, dark chocolate, black licorice and incense. The tannin is sweet but ripe. This is another full blown new world excitement especially especially accounting for the price. Viewers should make attention that Sarah & Sparky will not longer continue this project with USA importer Dan Philips after the 2005 vintage. Sob, sob, sob…hurry up — get the remaining stocks for Cad$20 for a $40-50 wine! Can age further for 3-5 years to gain complexity! (Rating 91-93+ points) by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review.
