2003 Kilikanoon Shiraz Covenant, Clare Valley, South Australia, Australia

(This is what I remember –had this a week ago at celebration of midsummer)

One of the heaviest wines I have ever drunk. The wine had seen no decanting and it was drunk outside, so it might have had its impact, but it smelled literary of beef blood and fresh new wood. The structure is extremely heavy and virtually impossible (for me) to drink more than one glass. My girlfriend thought that it was the most revolting wine she had ever had (55?)
