St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz - 2005

The last wine I loved from the red wine night at Night school.

I was amazed how young it was - because it tastes like an old wine - this one will be around for a few years yet. I am going to by more as it is not often I find a South Australian Shiraz that is to my taste.

Rich, fruity with meaty highlights. A hint of black pepper - but not so strong that it destroys the wine.

there is a big trend for South Australian wines to be overpoweringly Black pepperish - yuk yuk yuk!!!

This one - YUM!!!
