Looking for a big hairy beast of a Shiraz? Start here. It's everything you want in that bigger-than-life Australian Shiraz without that extra large price. This is one of those wines Robert Parker rates a 92, but it isn't in that $100 range like so many others.
I wasn't always a fan of these large, pancake-syrup style Shiraz wines, but have recently started appreciating them. I wouldn't try to pair this wine with food because it is a meal in itself. Your palate will be unable to taste anything except this as it will be covered with thick purple hair!
It's got everything, lots of tannin, fruit, spice, tea, tar, and most of all.. alcohol. I can't believe this thing is only $19 or so. It's a big time heavy hitter in league with Southern Belle and others, but for a bit less mula.
T-Scale 92. I'm going to have to buy a few of these. It's unusual, hot, and tasty as heck!
