Two Hands "Samantha's Garden" Shiraz, Clare Valley 2004

Deep red.

Earth, spice, black olive, raspberry and toasted nut.

Round, not sweet, with a lean, acid-edged structure that does not kill raspberry/earth flavors. Nicely constructed, tasty wine with very good mid-palate flesh and flavor.

Day 3 - Much more harmonious nose - earth/meat/cola/oak spice. Round and expansive in the mouth, with a bit of acid/tannin synergy framing the mid-palate and finish. Good, but not great, stuff.
