Tasting- Bulletin Place

Wine Wednesdays are freaking fantastic at Boudreaux's.  Not only are all bottles of wine half off, but they have great cajun food.  This is the bottle my neighbor Ryan and I split (that is also Ryan flipping off the camera in the photo...we may have gotten a tad drunk)

Name:  Bulletin Place
Variety:  Shiraz
Region:  Sydney
Country:  Australia
Year:  2011
Price:  $8.95 (selling for $22 dollars at Boudreaux's) 
Wine & Spirits review:  An homage to the Sydney wine shop and restaurant of Len Evans, the late, great international impresario of Australian wine, Bulletin Place is a spicy shiraz with bright blueberry flavors. It’s juicy, warm and peppery, a red to serve with grilled lamb kabobs. 87 Points
My notes:  The bouquet is very peppery with not much else coming through.  I notice at first taste a berry/currant note.  The wine has an acidic finish.  I did not detect much mid palate.  I was surprised to find out it was a 87 point wine, as I would probably not order it again, but perhaps I just don't like Shiraz as much as I thought. 
Food:  I ate a fried shrimp po boy and homemade potato salad with this wine.  The food made the wine taste more like berries, but it also heightened the acidic finish.
