Toscana, Italy. Shiraz. 14%. Cork. Approx $A50A beautiful label - three wings and the words Ali per non cadere. Wings to stay high.
Dark and deep. Tasted blind, I think I would have trouble calling this anything but West Australian. . . Berries (Mulberry and blue), ink, chocolate, earth and a fleeting suggestion of wax and lavender. Spice cut with glue. . . Brisk and grainy, a hint of initial sweetness to offset the eventual austerity. Chewy, mocha flavoured tannins, this is competent and pleasing, but I had hoped for more. 90. Now - 2016.

Nice wine, had it at Balthazar last year. Even better though is the book underneath, although I haven't given any of the recipes a fair shot yet...

Monica,
Thanks for the invite! I'll have to keep dreaming about Italy and vicariously visiting by cooking the food and drinking Italian wines. . .
