It's that day again.
I've discussed this with many people, and I'm going to do it. All over again.
I feel like a naughty adult going to do something bad and sexy.
The bottle looks fantastic, the label outstanding.
I'm offered a chance to cellar for ten years to enjoy the soft fruit characters.
Don't be silly.
It's going down today. Not tonight. Today.
Down to business...
Aerated and decanting.
Be back later.
Well, what can I say, this is truly a beautiful bottle of Shiraz. No doubt about it.
The first taste lets you know that you are passing some class down your gob. Very smooth.
I wasn't sure what to expect after the "Black" label, and I have to admit, that this isn't the root I was gunning for... It's like slaying the dragon only to find out that the dragon became a starfish.
It's fantastic, but I think the varieties in the "Black" smashed me enough to want to try premium blends, or look in to a sexy Malbec.
I almost feel horrible saying that. Almost.
If you get the chance, try the platinum, it wont do you wrong in anyway at all. Except maybe your pocket. LOL.
I may have to give it another chance... but probably not until I've had some Bordeaux reds.
AvinitRED.
