Inky, violet color. Expressive aromas of ripe red and blue fruits, violet, incense and Indian spices, along with building minerality. Stains the palate with vibrant black raspberry, blueberry, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors that slowly deepen and become sweeter with aeration. Shows superb power but comes off elegant, showing no rough edges on a strikingly long, gently tannic finish that leaves behind sappy blue fruit and spicecake notes.

This is a beautifully ripe, composed and flavorful edition of Basket Press that has all the classic hallmarks of blackberries, earth, leather, cedar and tar. The palate has very supple, enveloping tannins. Very drinkable, medium-to full-bodied shiraz that has plenty to offer already. Drink or hold.
