Serafino Shiraz

Name:	Serafino McLaren Vale (484)
Variety:	Shiraz (17)
Producer:	Serafino
Region:	South Australia
I tasted the 2012 vintage of this wine on 24 Jul 2015 when it was 3 years old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was deep ruby red. The bouquet had spicy berry fruit. There was smooth plum and berry fruit, some savory character, and a woody dry tannic finish. This was quite complex, with strong flavours, and intense vanilla oak tannins.
I tasted the 2013 vintage of this wine on 14 May 2016 when it was 3 years old and gave it a rating of good-.
The colour was deep purple ruby red. The bouquet showed full plum and berry fruit, and light chocolate. The flavour had smooth plum fruit, light spiciness, and a medium dry tannic savory finish. This was quite full flavored with nicely balanced fruit and wood.

Average (3.8):

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.
