Well, not much positive to report about this guy. Starts pretty bad with a smell of alcohol, and it finishes with something I can't put my finger on - but it's definitely not something one would want in wine. Too bad, cause I thought you could always count on a Shiraz.
One tip off might be the label - most of the Aussie wines I've had the good fortune of trying for this blog have had fun/goofy labels. This guy, on the other hand, is trying to be serious, which makes me think (and unfortunately, after the fact) that it is trying to hide something from us. Yeah, next time I'm going for something with funny font and a kangaroo on the bottle.
