Shop review: “The
Black Opal wines are sourced from vineyards found in South Australia along the
Limestone Coast, at Langhorne Creek and in the infamous Barossa Valley. Black
Opal Shiraz is rich red in the glass. Aromas of blackberry, pepper, and spice
followed with rich plum flavors round out the palate. Soft tannins give
structure to the fruit-driven palate.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)
My review: This wine had a peppery smell, which only increased
when tasting it. The taste also had a
sour, citrus taste to it, and was very biting.
I would recommend this wine only to those with an advanced palate.
I did not drink this with food.
