2013 Sacred Tree Masterpiece Shiraz
Purchase: $10.99 from Crackawines Nose: A promising fruity sweetness. Palate: A peppery bite, which turns quite bitter and savoury. Drinkable, but not enjoyable. Sour finish. Too much stem in the crush maybe? Out of 10: 3 Value: OK
I expected so much of this wine. It read so well. It's called "Masterpiece". So how could it be so baaaad? Maybe I just opened a dud bottle. Tried another. Also baaaad. Spoke to friends who shared in the carton that we'd purchased. All baaaad.
It has a deceptively sweet nose despite tasting more savoury. But these are quickly forgotten when the sour/bitter finish hits you. I tried multiple times but I'm sorry - that nasty finish completely put me off. It went down the sink. :(
