I wanted to start this lovely blog on a postive note, so I am starting with this Australian Shiraz. On the first taste I was greeted by an immediate sweet grapiness that is uncharacteristic of a standard shiraz. As I drank the glass, the sweetness diminshed and a nice fermented grapiness became the top note. There were some underlying flavors of honeysuckle and chocolate... so overall, not your average shiraz. But soooo good nonetheless.
I enjoyed a second glass of this wine on May 5th and much to my suprise, it was just as delicious as the first.
I give this wine 5 out of 5 stars for it's smoothness and grapey flavors.

You're off to a great start with your blog. Especially impressive is that you waited three days between glasses of the Black Swan, I would not have been as disciplined ;-) Have you tried the Yellow Tail Shiraz, also from Australia, and if so how would you compare the two? Thanks!

This sounds lovely. I'll look for it at my local Trader Joes.
