  A far cry from the old juicy ones - quite acidic and almost hard

  탄닌은 중간, 드라이하며 뒷맛이 깔끔해서 잘 들어가는 와인

  전형적인 쉬라즈라 얼마에 샀는지가 더 중요할 듯.
  적당히 싸게 잘 샀으면 좋은 거고, 비싸다면 아쉬운 거고.
  그렇다고 맛이 없다는 건 아니고 개성이 좀 부족하단 얘기.
  
  코에서는 졸인듯한 과일의 향기가 나는 편이다.
  이게 무슨 말이냐면 신선하다는 상큼함보다는 달콤한 향이 더 지배적이란 말.
  오크향도 적당히 나서 생각보다 향은 지루하지 않다.
  
  입에서는 묵직한 탄닌이 역시나 호주 쉬라즈같다.
  이어서 강하진 않지만 산도가 있는 편이라 나쁘지 않다. (쓰고나니 시큼 털털?)
  가장 아쉬운 건 피니시에서 느껴지는 쓴 맛인데 이것만 잘 잡았어도 고급스러운 느낌이 났을 듯 싶다.

  The darkest black cherry color extending up to a sliver of coronal scarlet. Freshly poured, the intoxicating nose is both intensely brutish and seductively gentle, with a concentrated aroma of sweetly singed red and blue-black fruit, lifted up by the 15% ABV and a slightly reluctant but heady bouquet of dried tobacco and vanilla laced graphite, surrounded by a fine mist of red McLaren Vale soil.
  Sans food the silky, sophisticated mouthfeel has an overall medium viscosity and presents with well extracted and concentrated sweet blackberry, cherry, plum, and blueberry flavors, with a complimentary balanced acidity and a comfortable vestigial tannic component that carries the delicious fruit across all stages of the palate, and providing an elongated, voluptuous finish of residual fruit and pleasing concomitant grape skins.
  This incantation of this ubiquitously respected and enjoyed wine has an understated identity of occult and powerful beauty I would not readily associate with its etiology. A Margaux versus a Cote Rotie. Lovely, enlightening, and sublime.
