The Standish Shiraz Barossa Valley 2001

Opaque purple/red.

Smoky, toasty oak (or is it creosote?), fig, date and deep, melted, licorice nose.

Intense and dense in the mouth without any sense of roundness or textural sweetness. Packed - Pax-like. Fairly significant acid component, which gives this a dis-jointed impression.
