Just a quick note of this Australian Shiraz. We liked Amarone style Shiraz from this winery "Pierri Azzardo Shiraz Amarone Style" but wines from this winery are difficult to come by. Now this one "Barrel Monkeys" became available from Winelibrary.
This is very good for the price and a classic fruits bomb Shiraz from Australia. Nice plum nose with a hint of bacon and black pepper. Slightly sugarfied fruits but not over-the-top. Nice mild tannin and good finish. In the same group as Tait "Ball Buster" but we liked this one bit better. How can we not like with this kind of label!
We will give score of 3+. (At National airport 10-27-07 while waiting for the flight).

There were three tastings on Friday night. One Bordeaux that tasted like a Ca cab (RB:92); one Toscan(RB: 91) and a Ca cab. Present were: Uncles E,Piroca, Jimmy and winepath, in Piroca's office. All got a 2, although winepath thought it was a 3. The photographer, Jimmy, is supposed to email the the pictures. We'll post them then.
