General: Here it's coming into the cooler seasons (although Aussies seem to enjoy drinking red wine all year round)
Variety: Shiraz
Region/GI: Yarra Valley, VIC
Alcohol: 14.5%
Bouquet: Lovely. Licorice in the main, with over-ripe (round) plums and vanilla in the background.
Flavour: Disappointing given the bouquet. Surprisingly light bodied and a little short in length. Pleasant dry flavour with some juicy fruit. Relatively simple. Aged nicely and an overall good, simple drink.
Points: 81
Notes: Possibly I am too harsh with scoring but I won't be buying this again. On the winery's website they sell this for $20 (340 Kc) which is standard but this line is discounted to $13 (221 Kc) at the national wine retailing chain. Not sure how anyone is making money!
