I am not sure what went wrong when we had this wine with a BBQ lunch but it did not sit well with some of our dinners.
While in appearance and nose it seemed quite fine, the impact in the mouth was disappointing, particularly for the ladies. It seemed as if it was too young and was a little sharpish for some palates. I would give it another year or two in the bottle and try it again.
AWG Notes: There’s a chance that perhaps there was some issue with the cellaring of the bottle. We’d expect some degree of development from a South Australian Shiraz over the course of three or more years, which should offset some of that sharpness which we tend to find in young Shiraz.
