Present were: Uncles Jimmy, Piroca, Winepath, and E. Uncle E brought a visitor, an old friend of his, Uncle S. Unfortunately, Uncle N could not join us.
The first bottle we tasted was thought to be new world, perhaps a cab. Smokey, dark, cherry, medicinal, quite pleasant. Acidic finish, which did not add much to the taste. After some breathing, it tasted better, but the acidity persisted. It was an Australian shiraz, BIN 61, from Clare Valley, 2004. I think that shiraz can be a great pretender. A 2+
