Deep and intense. Smooth tannin 6/10, acidity 8/10, body 9/10. A bit too strong causes unbalance. Black fruit la nose like black current black berries and black chocolate . Not bad.

I have never had a Wolf Blass red that I really enjoyed, so I’ve been avoiding them for the last 20 years. I was hoping the Gray Label would change my mind. Alas, it’s not to be. The flavours taste very one-dimensional for me. The fruit tastes sharp and unappealing, the wine lacking any significant complexity, and the flavour balance tastes downright wrong to me. I really don’t get it. To me this is no better than a $10 VinoMofo Glenlofty shiraz. No where near as good actually. Down the sink I think!
