Torbreck Woodcutters Shiraz 2005

Deep red, not opaque.Full nose of spicy fig/date, hint of game. No noticeable oak. Full and relatively sweet in the mouth initially. Then a bit odd - with an acid/VA sharpness that really clamps down on fruit expression. May simply need some air (this was not decanted), bottled under screwcap.

Day 2 - Slightly better in the mouth, but not much. A green note now too, bordering on jalapeno. Glad this is my last bottle.



$15 (Costco)
