19 Crimes The Warden - 750ml

The pour is so dark and rich you can tell it's going to be a bold one, and that first sip really delivers on the complexity. I’m enjoying how the aromas keep unfolding as the glass sits.

That rich, dark color in the glass really hinted at the layers of ripe plum and spice that came through on the nose. The depth and complexity from the first swirl to the last sip made this bottle a real standout for me.

The nose opens with those layered ripe plum notes before the Shiraz richness kicks in on the palate—exactly what I look for in a red blend. It needed a bit of air to really show its depth, but once it opened up, the complexity held through the whole glass.
