This is a cross between smoked blackberry pie, barbecue brisket with Sweet Baby Ray's sauce, and Lay's barbecue potato chips. The front of this wine is very opulent, very rounded and full bodied mouthfeel. Lots of smoked blackberry pie with graham cracker crust immediately in the front. The middle is where it goes a little darker. Smoky, ashy, meaty. Still finishes with some astringency. I think the consensus is that this one might be a slightly over the hill, and I would probably agree with that. However, really enjoyable wine that really would have gone well with an herbed pork or tenderloin. — 4 years ago

See previous notes from 28 July 2021. Barb thought raspberry, cherry also herbs and earth. Really enjoyed this and can see why it won the most prestigious Trophy on the Australian Show Circuit, the Jimmy Watson Trophy for the best one year old dry red at Royal Melbourne. Always difficult to source Jimmy Watson winners. This SGM Blend was the last of 2 bottles — 3 years ago
