Shadowfax 2002 K Road PlonkOz04

 

The wine is an unusual blend of Shiraz, Sangiovese, and Merlot. The bouquet is very different with an ultra sweet berry hit with perfumed nuances. The palate follows the nose with some spicy characters and liquorish on the mid-palate. Medium-weight the wine is backed with more than enough smooth dusty tannins, refreshing acid and distinct fruit. The consistency is firm and the structure layered. It's a good food wine that is rated as Recommended with *** for value and years drinking well now.
