Note di degustazione
The 2005 Shiraz “Gnarly Dudes” delivers notes of pepper, scorched earth, violets, blueberry, and blackberry. This leads to a full-bodied wine with excellent blue fruit flavors, bright acidity, but just a bit of narrowness on the mid-palate. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, the finish long and pure. Drink this lip-smacking Shiraz over the next 6 years. Two Hands is a negociant operation run impeccably by Michael Twelftree. It reflects the best that can be sourced from all over South Australia. The packaging provides some serious design competition to Dan Philips’ Grateful Palate and R Wines portfolio.

Ruby-red. Energetic strawberry and raspberry scents are brightened by fresh mineral and floral qualities on the highly perfumed nose. This reminds me of a top-notch New World pinot, with impressively energetic red fruit flavors expanding across the palate. No excess weight here, and no rough edges either. Finishes suave, sweet and very long.
