WINE NO 1.  2020 ROSEMOUNT ESTATE SHIRAZ, SE AUSTRALIA. 13.5%VOL. PURCHASED FROM MORRISONS AT £6.50.

THIS DIAMOND SELECTION SHIRAZ HAS A BRIGHT HEALTHY APPEARANCE,WITH A DEEP RUBY FINISH.THE BOUQUET WAS ESPECIALY PLEASANT  WITH A MIXED CHARACTER WHICH WE FOUND QUITE DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY. IT HAD A JUICY SWEETNESS, BALANCED ACIDITY AND SOME TANNINS. A MEDIUM BODY AND GOOD FRUIT TASTE GAVE IT A LASTING TASTE WHICH WAS ENJOYED BY ALL OF US.

WE GAVE THIS AN AVERAGE SCORE OF 8.5/10.  GOOD VALUE.
