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.
