Paringa South Australia 2005 Shiraz
Smelled like rubbing alcohol. So tannic that I couldn\'t really pick out any other flavor characteristics. Hot, dry mouthfeel. My girlfriend and I each found this wine to be so unpleasant that we couldn\'t finish our first glass.

Lemon and apricot aroma. Very wet mouthfeel. Mostly mineral when in the mouth. Grapefruit aftertaste. May 12, 2007
