Appreciate Prioca's covering for me Friday. Hope his taste buds recovered from fatigue. About the same time you guys were tasting "2" wines, we were tasting "Barrel Monkeys" (see previous post). While we are on the subject of Australian Shiraz, after we got here, we tasted "Dead Arm" Shiraz 2002 twice. In the past we tasted this several times. The memory of that and two additional tastings bring a good point. The wine tastes appear to change. The first time we tasted this, I felt it was too tannic. With recent tasting, the nose has plum, cedar, and some smokiness. The taste is very complex with plum, back fruits, and again spices with cedar note and slight earthy or smoky taste. The tannin structure was just right. Nice finish. We like this more than before. But again when you are on vacation, everything tastes better.P.S. Nice view of the ocean and sunny day!!!
