RKS 2024 Wine: A Shiraz from Australia’s Langhorne Creek: I am Not Waltzing With This Matilda

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inWineTags:, , , ,

Thoughts on a Bleasdale 2019 Generations Shiraz.

Aroma: Oak has worked itself nicely into the wine softening and plumping it up, hopefully not for the slaughter. Ripe plum, blackberry, cherry, spice and white pepper.

Palate: No jammy Aussie bunko wine. In fact scratching my head with such an alluring aroma where did the fruit go. Brusque, rough and tough leaving the question who did it sell its soul to? There are tannins. There are acids sending off a warning sign something is off beat here.

Personality: A good looker and a charmer until you get to know me.

Food Match: Friday night wine is my secret code to you. Easily decipherable.

Price: $25 CDN (Ontario).

Cellarbility: Brave enough to buy then drink it ASAP.

RKS 2024 Wine Rating: 70/100. Ken Gargett winepilot.com 94
