2007 Two Hands Gnarly Dudes Shiraz Barossa Valley

Nearly opaque red, deep, saturated. Dense nose with blackberry liquor. Sweet juniper berry and peppermint. It's also woodsy, with balsa wood and cocoa powder. Violets. After opening, peach and orange peel emerge. Wild nose. It's defininitely young with firm fine-grained tannin coating the midpalate softened by layers of fat and juicy acidity. Broad and hedonistic. Finishes with mocha and barbeque smoke.

$35

B+
