Forefathers McLaren Vale Shiraz 2002 $22.99USD
Cherry red with pinkish red edge. Slight dirty dishwater stink overlays attractive aromas of stewed plums and pepper. Soft entry, medium weight, astringent tannins and a clean crisp acid finish. Flavors carry through on retronasal for a long finish. A well structured, attractive wine. 2,2,3.5,9.8=17.3.
After 24 hours the wine had developed a truffle-like aroma, was soft and supple with a clean acid finish and the flavors lingered. 14.5% alcohol Tasted August 18-19.
