Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley
Almost black in the glass, this wines has a nose of (something off), black raspberry, liquorice, and clove (4-ethyl-guiacol). (Couldn't detect any 4-EP, though, so maybe it wasn't Brett). In the mouth it is rich, with some integrated oak treatment, good acidity, and more dark liquorice/4-EG. Good flavors but the nose has an off tone.
