Killibinbin Shiraz 2007

The label makes this wine.  It is packaged very smartly with a bit of fun or tongue-in-cheek sophistication adding appeal.  The wine on the other hand left me feeling under whelmed.

This wine attacks my palate with fruit that tastes charcoaled.  If I had to nail down flavours, I would say prunes and raisins with a little mint coming through that refreshes me, but all in all my palate was left feeling tired.  I was expecting this to taste plush with a nudge of vanilla oak but all I got was a spiky sensation on my tongue.
