WTN: De Bortoli Vat 8 Shiraz 2004

South Eastern Australia.

Dark purple color.

Blueberry, currants, chocolate and spice on the nose.

Plummy, cherry fruit spicy, sweet, medium-bodied, showing a bit of its alcohol heat.

Fairly long finish of red licorice and spices.

Not bad for $14.95 Canadian.

As Miles would say Bruce...If I have to drink another %$#$%^%$# shiraz!!
What, you got no merlot out there in Ontario land?!!

I am afraid I still like Shiraz Bob. Now that you mention it, my wife and I enjoyed a Spanish Merlot from Miguel Torres last night. Will post WTN soon.
