Tasting -James Goddard Shiraz

Name: James Goddard Barossa Shiraz
Variety: Shiraz
Country: Australia
Year: 2011
Price: $21

Winery Review: The outstanding 2011 James Goddard Shiraz (aged 14-16 months in American and French Hogsheads) delivers considerable value and flavor authority. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by notes of blackberries, black currants, licorice, graphite, and subtle barbecue smoke. Rich, fleshy and dense, it is best consumed over the next 3-4 years.

My Review: I wasn't the hugest fan of this wine. This wine was pretty tannic and I picked up on almost a chalky sensation when I was drinking it. I'm normally not a huge fan of sweet wines, but this wine almost didn't taste sweet in the slightest.

I tasted this wine on its own without food.
