Tasting- "Thorn Clarke James Goddard Shiraz"

Variety: Shiraz
Country: Australia
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Vintage Cellar Review: The outstanding 2011 James Goddard Shiraz (aged 14-16 months in American and French hogsheads) delivers considerable value and flavor of 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 the next 3-4 years.

My Review: To me, this wine smelled like a generic red wine. The taste was fruity with hints of barbecue, specifically pulled pork. It was a good wine but nothing spectacular.
