Big, spicy and bold wines with pronounced aromas, ripe fruit and max flavour. Normally big tannin, with a warm palate and lots of length. Emphasis on lees and oak flavours give lots of complexity. Full-bodied and very juicy. Can be punchy monsters with a spicy length and kick. Think new world Syrah/Shiraz, Cabernets and Grenache. Great barbecue wine and will probably stain your teeth. Depending on the vintage, these wines may need a hefty decanting!
