Greenock Creek Apricot Block Shiraz 2006

$40AUD

Have you ever drank blood?? If I imagined a glass of blood, the mouthfeel would be something like this. So thick, the mouthfeel is almost like tasting melted chocolate...actually it has some very great chocolate flavours (sorry American readers but I am using Australian English....its not misspelt!)  Some great pepper and spice on the nose with heaps of coco and has some amazing length.



I'm not lying when I say this wine broke my expensive wine glass. Not sure if you can see it in the picture but I swirled the first glass and it popped...that might be a sign that this is one POWERFUL Barossa wine that can really body slam the drinker. Barossa wines are known to be BIG and BOLD, but this one really does it! Also, it brings the HEAT.  Almost 19% alcohol means this wine was like a fortified and it didn't take many sips to be tipsy...good night :)
