2007 Howard Park Scotsdale Shiraz

Purchased from Dan's for $30. Lovely (but not big) nose of primary plums and developing chocolate/mocha. Michael thinks also some turkish delight, Brooke reckons rose water (which I'm told is damn near the same thing). The palate doesn't meet the expectation of one of Margaret River's best Shiraz. Medium bodied at best, back palate seems a little too acidic. The balance improved with time out of the bottle, but still a little thin. Long finish however, dark fruits. Our score, 85/100. Buy again, they tell me the '08 is better.
