I really hope I had a bad bottle. (it was not corked) but this may have been my worst wine experience in years. Including bar happy hour. After two sips (to be sure) dumped the rest.

Only slightly different than my previous experience with this wine, dark garnet in color with on the nose blackberries, plums, cinnamon and toasted oak. Medium to full-bodied with on the palate ripe black and red fruit, a bit of dusty wood, cinnamon, plums with fine acidity and integrating tannins with tar and a hint of tobacco on a moderately long finish. Nice though a bit boring, 13.5% Abv.

Dark garnet towards royal purple, full-bodied with on the nose red plums, blackberries and saddle leather, on the palate the plums are more dominant and juicy with some ripe blackberries as well as roasted meat and Mediterranean herbs with good acidity and tannins on a long juicy finish. Very nice Shiraz indeed.
