Laughing Jack Limited 2 Shiraz 2008

On day one the oak is full on but from day two rich flavours of blackberries, Satsuma plums and Dutch licorice start to take over. On day three the whole package is running wild with blueberry pastilles, dark chocolate and the essence of black cherries.  Not only do these flavours rock but there is a firm yet loving amount of dry tannins weaving some magic along my tongue from the initial attack right up to about seventy five percent of my palate. Everything about this wine says drink me, drink me which is a great achievement from the very hot 2008 vintage.
