"2014" Sydney International Wine Show - stewarding notes; 10/13/2013-10/18/2013 (Blue Mountains, NSW): {screwcap, 14.5%} (Angela) A youthful , inky, extracted nose of liqueured blackberries announces a Barossa shiraz from Central Casting; lashings of coconut, vanilla, chocolate and super sweet red fruit. Low in acid, high in powdery tannin, full-bodied, warm-finishing, with a medium-length finish, it’s from the ‘pack-it-all-in’ school of US-aimed turbo juice. Forward in the mouth, it’s a take-no-prisoners style. At least it’s not 16% alcohol, but experience tells me it’s unlikely to age very elegantly, or for very long. Get into it if you like the style.
