Tasting- Lucky Duck Shiraz



Name: Lucky Duck
Variety: Shiraz
Country: South Eastern Australia
Price: $4
 Wine Review: The Lucky Duck Shiraz pours a rather dark purple with fairly strong aromas of blackberries and a hint of earth and coffee. You take a sip and get more of that sweet blackberry and some lingering jammy plum, with a decent acidity and a hint of spice in the finish. The tannins are actually fairly moderate which was surprising.
My Review: This wine was dark red in color and had the smell of berry's and spices. This Shiraz was very berry like at first with a finish that was very dry and acidic, and for this reason I am not as fond of this wine as I was when it first hit my taste buds. I tasted this wine with pizza second, and it changed the wine dramatically. The berry flavors were enhanced by the pizza, and the acidity on the finish was decreased dramatically.
