| COMMENTS: |
: New World wine of course. In the first impression, a lot of people in Wine democracy would say : "Amazing, a 92 or 94 points because Cherry , mulberries, chocolate, sweet and ripe fruits, very expressif and powerfull flavors. Opaque and deep, violet color."
But don't mistake again. It's a bitch wine like a lot of.Like would say ROBERT PARKER : "Nearly a picnic wine".
Well made, indeed, with qualities and flavors. But it is a bodybuilded wine with lack of "terroir", to manipulated by men.
The Shiraz losts its primary personnality. Burned shiraz, over-ripped. More you drink the wine, more you see its defaults. It's a heavy weight on your stomack. Lack of elegance.
Good for barbecue, rosted meat, strong meat.
After a half of a bottle , i begin to have a headache.

The Shiraz losts its primary personnality. Burned shiraz, over-ripped. More you drink the wine, more you see its defaults. It's seems to be a MICHEL ROLLAND 's wine because it's so worked by man. In fact , when the muscles are away, the lenght is short and no interest. Theatral wine , pleasant to see , to drink for a moment but don't run a lot.
Good for barbecue, rosted meat, strong meat.
After a half of a bottle , i begin to have a headache.
I took a 82 % because expressive, pleasant at start, lot of warm aromas and flavors. But finally, not a great wine.
If you found it, you must try, very interesting and say your thoughts.
