Dark, saturated black ruby color. In-your-face nose of cassis, blackberry liqueur, fragrant wood smoke, and graphite. Rich, dense, full-bodied flavors: blackberry extract, scorched earth, pencil lead, minerals. Long finish. No tannin left, to speak of. Drink over the next year for maximum intensity fruit. Superb. 90. $10.65 at Spec's on Richmond.

2004 Marquis Phillips ROOGLE RED (80% Shiraz 20% Cabernet) (South Australia)
Another ridiculous value from Australia, this wine has tons of character for the money.

Wine intense on the palate, so switched it to make an amazing marinate. It may sound strange but Montreal steak seasoning, garlic salt, mixed with a zero fat cut of beef like shoulder medallion in a bowl. Shouldn't have worked, but did. Strongly suggested for transferring flavors while cooking with meat.
