Tasting - Thorn Clarke James Goddard Shiraz

Name: Thorn Clarke James Goddard Shiraz
Variety: Syrah (Shiraz)
Region: Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95
Winery Review:
"The outstanding 2011 James Goddard Shiraz (aged 14-16 years in American and French hogshead) delivers considerable value and flavor authority.  Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by notes of blackberries, black currants, licorice, graphite and subtle barbecue smoke.  Rich, fleshy, and dense, it is best consumed over next 3-4 years."

 My Review: 
On the nose of this wine I smell mainly plum and spice with a hint of woodiness.  The taste follows similarly to the smell of the wine.  I taste blackberry and red fruit that fades away into a smokey, oaky flavor.  I did not try this wine with food.
