Forefather's Shiraz McClaren Vale 2004

Deep red. Nice, sl. confectionary nose - blueberry, raspberry cream, oak toast and an earth/sulfide note that really takes this out of the fruit-bomb camp. Sl. saline. Nice acid-definition, keeps everything in bounds, although maybe a bit more than necessary.
Quite long, lingering pure black and red fruit finish. Very tasty.

This was a gift, but I'd say $30 approx.
