Tasting- "Thorn Clarke, James Goddard Shiraz"


Thorn Clarke
James Goddard Shiraz
Australia
$7.95

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: This wine smelled like smokey oak with hints of blackberries, black currants, and licorice. I  really enjoyed this wine. I thought it was complex and interesting.

This wine was tasted without food.
