General: Autumn time and a movement to heavier reds
Variety: Shiraz
Region/G.I.: Fleurieu, McLaren Vale
Alcohol: 14.5%
Bouquet: An explosion of dense fruit (cherry, ripe plum) with the aroma of a Cherry Ripe chocolate bar
Flavour: Big globs of fruit you can almost chew and some very nice tannins. It does however, lose points for alcohol burn which sadly dampens the overall taste
Points: 81
Notes: Not sure if I am being overly harsh on a style of Shiraz of which I am not a huge fan. Maybe with a bloody steak I'd have a different view. A relative cheapy at $11.25 (~200 Kc) through a wine club
