Opened the second bottle of this Coonawarra Shiraz and it did not disappoint. Didn't really let it breathe too long, but long enough for it to open up and show enough to really please.
On the nose was a little vanilla and a hint of rasberry, not unpleasant or over powering at all. On the palate is strong berry fruits (rasberry sticks out) with a hint of pepper at the finish. Again, not over powering in any way and well balanced. Quite a nice little wine.
I tried the Black Wattle Icon 'Robe' Shiraz at the last tasting and it was brilliant. This particular wine was Cellarmasters 'wine of the year' and it was made by Neil Doddridge.
Need I say more...
