Thicker Than Water Shiraz Giant Squid Ink

Open for 3 hours before pouring into a decanter for 30 minutes before drinking, which seemed fine. It improved a bit with air. The aromas were surprisingly modest and offered some vanilla and eucalyptus. In the mouth, it seemed more like a Rhone structure. The flavors were purple fruited and modestly juicy. As the taste progressed though, it somewhat distractingly hollowed out which I presume was a lack of tannic structure. Still fairly acidic, so this should be good at …

Dense, concentrated flavor. One of the best.

I am primarily a cabernet drinker. However, I was lucky enough to share a bottle with friends during our local church book club. This wine is dark, intense, complex and sophisticated. Lot's of fruit flavors that I was surprised I was tasting. I highly recommend it if you can ever find one.
