Lazy Ballerina
Shiraz
$35
McLaren Vale
This was a bit of a surprise, i was captivated by the label and the very limited bottling.
Strong deep flavour more of the complex earthy flavours found in shiraz, cigarettes/tobacco and chocolate but it didn't have much pepperyness which typifies big shirazes. More oaky spice, then hot pepper. This is surprising since it said that it had some viognier in there, even more confusuing that the same winery does a proper shiraz viognier. In anycase a nice powerful wine with some sexy body, slightly dry but quiet satisfying.
