However, I seem to recall the expensive big brothers for this wine in 2000 both had very chocolatey overtones. This was the case for both the Cab and the Syrah. Maybe the off casts put in the Cab/Shiraz had a similar taste. Of course the big brothers also have the long lasting fruit to carry this off over time.
Given the Cab/Shiraz usually has a drink within 12 months style with few tanins, it may just be that the fruit's worn off and left the chocolate. I suspect that will disappear pretty quickly too.
Normally this wine is pretty bright crimson. What was it when you opened it?
We would really like to hear what you have to say
