Thorn-Clarke Terra Barossa Shiraz 2006

Aussie Shiraz
$10 w/free sh @ winelibrary
14% ABV

Mrm... weird smell.
its *very* dark... and thin, no legs when swirled, just drops against the side. after sitting for a couple minutes, the normal shiraz fruit jam coming out, but still got a weird bit of... motor oil? in the back something industrial. you can definitely feel the alcohol burn in the nose.

tastes kind of like a medicine cabinet. too much burn/ too much sting, and its very thin. too thin to be able to handle this kind of sting. got a nice puckery aftertaste, and might even make an ok hot-day wine because its so thin... but not my cup of tea
