2008 Jacob’s Creek Reserve Shiraz

The color is almost black. It is very dark on the attack, too, leading with huge mulberry followed by black currant. Coffee shows on the mid-palate. It has big, chewy tannins with enough acids to support them. This is a good wine for the price. Recommended (88). DH
