Laughing Jack 2006 “Second Label” Shiraz SAMay08 will sell for $19.95 when it is released in July. The wine is sealed under screwcap. At the time we tried the wine, it didn't have a formal name. The bouquet showed pleasant floral aromatics with blackberry, mint and aniseed. It may not be hugely long, or hugely complex, but it is hugely enjoyable. It's certainly not subtle, and is driven by pure, persistent fruit that delivers blueberry, blackberry, mint and lots of eucalyptus on the finish. An ample-weight wine with a soft consistency and almost seamless structure, it's very bloody drinkable. Rated as Recommended with **** for value, drink over the next five years.
