Jacobs Creek Shiraz 2018

Name:5th Vintage Shiraz (1064)
Variety:Shiraz (17)
Producer:Jacobs Creek
Region:Australia

I tasted the 2018 vintage of this wine on 16 Jun 2019 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was medium-deep red, and there were strong legs. The bouquet had full plum and berry fruit, vanilla and light oak. There was berry and plum fruit, vanilla and chocolate, and a smooth tannic oak finish. This wine had quite complex, well integrated flavours, and medium body.

Note 1: I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these wines, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
