General: Another in the recent tastings of 2008 Shiraz...
Variety: Shiraz
Region/G.I.: Central Victoria
Alcohol: 14.5%
Bouquet: Plummy but not overpowering. Some spice. In comparison to recent tastings, the bouquet was retrained.
Flavour: Juicy. Thick consistency with black pepper. Not as much spice as the nose suggests. Good tannins. A distant hint of oak.
Points: 83
Notes: This was a gift but I think it retails for about $15.00. It was enjoyable and ticks all the boxes for a good Shiraz quaffer. My only concern is that these Shirazes are not so different from each other so I will skip to another variety for a change.
