Medium to deep garnet in color with a touch of brick in the rim, the 2008 Bull Trader Shiraz has a nose of baked berries and plums with a bacon fat and licorice undercurrent. The palate is a little tired with a modest amount of dried berry and chewy tannins remaining though it finishes abruptly. Drink it now.
