Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 Pillar Box Reserve Shiraz shows lovely creme de cassis notes with some blueberry preserves, cloves and licorice hints. Big, rich and full-bodied in the mouth, it has medium levels of velvety tannins, lively acid and a long finish with some dark chocolate and licorice notes. Drink it now to 2018+.
