Woods Crampton Old John Shiraz Bonvedro

Bought this at the Cold Storage Wine Fair and drank it at Peach Garden Thomson Plaza with 2 colleagues for the farewell of one of them. Dark, broody purple and the wine tasted out of sorts and unbalanced when opened. Wine was much better integrated after 30 minutes of breathing. Rich, ripe and sweet berries with some coffee and cream. Not an outstanding wine, but not bad value at $20 for a wine to drink during lunch on Monday.

First impression not impressive but it iimproves over the course. Pleasant aroma of dark berries with spicy characteristic. Medium body and lively acidity,finish medium duration

Nothing special
