Complex, developed aromas of black and red fruit, with some aniseed. Palate still vibrantly youthful, with a tight core of black fruit and refined, restrained tannin structure. Years ahead of it still, ageing surprisingly slowly. One more bottle in the cellar for 5-10 years’ time. — a month ago

Actually a 2012 Hidden Label McLaren Vale Shiraz. A wine I bought as a company wine to give as gifts to good clients. Because of changing attitudes to company gifts in Australia the practice is discouraged particularly to Government Departments so my brother and I split the last dozen. This is a good McLaren Vale Shiraz from a good vintage showing dark chocolate and blackberry drinking at its peak. The early stern Tannins have softened and has developed into a lovely wine. — 3 years ago

Fantastic stuff. Blue/plum fruit, a hint of menthol/eucalyptus, racy acidity, bright minerality, grippy tannins. If I’d not read the back label first I might have mistaken it for Shiraz. After 30min I got more of the chocolatey red currant notes of the Cab. The flavor profile of this is uniquely Aussie. Out of my #grassl1855 — 6 years ago

Some say it’s the exceptional soils of clay and gravel washed down from the Pyrenees that give Bergey its charm. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, spice, cedar and smoke. On the palate flavors of plum, blackberry and black raspberry with cacao, oaky tones and mineral spice. Lingering finish ending with fruit and toasty cedar character. Good value. — 6 years ago

Whoa, this one has some solid grip! Still has the pronounced acid and tannin of youth, with lots of primary dark fruit. Medium-full body. And did I mention that grip? Persistent...very persistent...tannins. But it’s pretty delicious, just needs even more time. Nice. — 8 years ago
