Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 30, 2015 - Heady nose of ripe plum, vanilla, blackberry, and assorted black fruits. Heavily extracted and rich on tasting; bordering on overdone. This is take no prisoners full throttle Aussie Shiraz. My issue with this wine was the lack of balance and nuance... Something that I doubt will develop with aging. Certainly high quality fruit / winemaking, but it left me anticipating more at this price point of $57. Probably a good introductory wine for those looking to experience the power of Australian Shiraz. Would almost overwhelm most foods other than strong game meats. I have 1 2012 Carnival in the cellar, but will most likely pass on future offerings.
