Small Gully Mr. Black's Little Book Shiraz 2011, Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia: I love a little black book reading with a sympathetic robust red wine that has a big vocabulary when it comes to aromas and flavours, like this one! Rich and full-bodied with fleshy ripe blackberry, mint and black olive aromas on the nose. Layers and smooth, with polished tannins and a long finish. Terrific mouth-watering juiciness. You put on the jazz music and I'll pour the wine, deal? Drink: 2013-2017. 287979 13.50% XD 750 mL  $20.95 Score: 91/100. July 19, 2014 Best Value Red Wine. Harmonious Hard Cheese Wine Full Review
