Wine Without Wank

Pirathon Barossa Shiraz 2006

Made by Kalleske in Australia (region: Barossa Valley) .

A dry, still, red wine with 15% alchohol tasted on 15th Apr 2008.

Grape: Shiraz

Quality: Very Good

Value: Above Average

Cost: Usually between $22.00 - $24.00.

Looks: Inky black and quite thick looking

Smells: Lovely plummy fruit that gives way to a savoury spicey tone

Feels: Full bodied - verging on thick!

Tastes: Wow, what an impact this has! Jets into your mouth with vibrant plum and cherry fruit, and lovely choc and coffee coating. Nice savoury tones and a long long finish with nice black pepper. Tannins are soft and velvety, but are there enough to make a really nice mouthfeel - verging on chewiness. This wine is a cracker, fair and simple.

Possible retailers: Cellar Door, Squashedgrape.
