Tasting-Black Opal Shiraz

Name:  Black Opal Shiraz
Variety:  100% Shiraz
Region:  Southeastern Australia
Country:  Australia
Year:  2011
Price:  $5.95

Vintage Cellar Review:  The Black Opal wines are sourced from vineyards found in South Australia along the Limestone Coast, at Langhorne Creek and in the infamous Barossa Valley. Black Opal Shiraz is rich red in the glass. Aromas of blackberry, pepper and spice followed with rich plum flavors round out the palate. Soft tannins give structure to the fruit-driven palate.

My Review:  The Shiraz smells terrible.  There is a hint of dry vomit.  It also has dry and acidic smells.  The taste is not as bad as it smells, however, there is a touch of acidic taste.  This wine is drinkable.  I was not eating any food while at the tasting.
