If you thought you hated Australian wines, this is a great reminder that the wines can be excellent. Balanced but still full and rich.

2006 vintage. I think GSM is probably my favourite Go To mid week blend. This has a small amount of Cinsault as well. Notes of cherries raspberry. At 10 years more savoury spice flavours appearing. Easy to drink.

Tawny rim, lovely perfume. Great rendition of a southern Rhone style - Grenache Shiraz Mataro Cinsault. Full and concentrated even at 9 years. Delicious jubey flavours. Losing a half point for an overly heavy bottle. 18.

Amazing p/q. The nose is rich, powerful and endlessly deep textbook barossa shiraz. The tannins are soft and fully integrated into the sweet blackcurrant fruit. No raisins, just soft, opulent, quality fruit. Long.

Feb 25, 2017. Dinner w/ Jack D, Cello, & J2. Jack D brought the wine. Cork deteriorated (use cork pull, not corkscrew), but wine excellent! Lovely Rhone blend w/ 50% Grenache, 30% Shiraz, 15% "Mataro," + 5% Cinsaut. Yum!
