Hardy's Oomoo Shiraz 2006

Made by Hardy's in Australia (region: McLaren Vale) .

A dry, still, red wine with 14% alchohol tasted on 26th Dec 2007.

Grape: Shiraz

Quality: Below Par

Value: A Little Excessive

Cost: Usually between $14.99 - $18.99.

Looks: Dark black colour with a full body

Smells: Tar, licorice and plums

Feels: Full bodied

Tastes: I try with this wine, I really do. So many praise Oomoo for its quality for a song. But, I just don't get it. It is full of olive, licorice and some black fruits, but it just is not for me. The alcohol sits out front with a hot finish, there is not much spice, and it is a little short. Tannins are gruff and tight. I can drink it, but I don't really enjoy it.
