Shoofly 2017 Shiraz (South Australia)
A little reductive at first sniff, this wine eventually opens into a plush, ripe nose of cherry, chocolate, spice and sweet oak notes, along with an undertone of something green and leafy. The palate is fairly well balanced, the jammy fruit ensconced in muscular, grainy tannins. There's a woodiness that flares up on the finish, and the alcohol is a little on the warm side.
