Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 26, 2017 - Diam cork. We decanted the wine for two hours before we had the first glasses. It was dark ruby in colour and offered dark fruit, blackberry, dark cherry, dark chocolate, fruitcake, spices, black pepper and a touch of mint on the nose. On the palate, the wine showed dark fruit, blackberry, plum, chocolate, coffee, fruit cake, black pepper and a hint of menthol, followed by cherry, chocolate and a spicy finish, with medium-level acidity, smooth tannin and average length. The medium- to full-bodied, reasonably smooth Shiraz was a little bland. As every single Bleasdale wine I have had to date, this wine was technically correct but left me underwhelmed. Would not buy again.
