Wine Review #8

Penfolds
Shiraz (80%) Mourvedre (20%) 14.5%
South Eastern Australia


Smell
Prunes soaked in Armagnac deep inside a granite cave

Taste
Lavender ice cream, blackcurrants soaked in Smirnoff Silver

Whippets factor
8/10, sloshed outback crock botherers straight to the frontal lobes, a ferrrricing noooightmaaare!

Outstanding feature
I don't have to share this one, it's all mine! Also the Mourvèdre calms the Shiraz down a bit, which helps when you are drinking an entire bottle on a school night.
