2005 Rosemount Estates Diamond Label Shiraz


Taste: 3.5/5
Value: 3.5/5
Price: $9-$12
I remember when you could buy this wine for $6-$7 a bottle! Then again, I remember when gas was under $2 a gallon, too. As the price goes up, I seem to like this wine a little less. Yesterday, when I opened it, I rated it 3/5, but it seemed to mellow a bit by this evening. At first opening, the aroma (and taste) of alcohol was a bit overwhelming. Day 2, however, it had nice balance. Present, but not overwhelming tannins and a nice jamminess. If I remember and have time, I would open it a good hour ++ before drinking - if I buy it again.
