Kalleske 2005 Clarry’s Barossa Red Aug 06

The wine can be found for about $17 or $18 and is a blend of Grenache and Shiraz. The bouquet shows raspberry, spice/pepper, dark chocolate and little char or aniseed, and what is probably a touch of oregano; so it goes from red through to black and into herb and of these aromas are followed fairly closely on the palate. Flavours are predominantly off-sweet but there is a little trickle of sweetness below the top level. A mid-weight smooth, easy-drinking, food friendly wine with a supple mouth-feel; it’s solidly backed by fine, unobtrusive tannins. A very drinkable drop that's driven by pure fruit which delivers excellent power of flavour that just keeps on trucking down the palate; drink over the next five years; it's rated as Recommended with **** for value. Troy comes up with another winner.
