Positively delicious 8 year old #westernaustralia #shiraz. Unlike many Oz Shiraz, legitimate varietal aromas of smoked meat, black olive, black/purple fruit, leather. Gratifying acidity on palate balances out rich dark fruit, finishing with coffee notes, a touch of black pepper and fine tannins. Excellent wine. — a year ago

Margaret River; blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc; so rounded, so peachy almost possible to detect varietal traits, so the blending is impeccable; streamline of juicy, minty, contained but delectable fruit flavours, wood plays little influence as does tannin; makes it more gulpable for masses; no tannin backbone, just juicy softness; #newwave #drinkaussie #drinkwa #westernaustralia #margaretriver #capementelle #wilyabrup #cmf #AUD50 #13.5% ; Wilyabrup is a sub-region of Margaret River known for top cabernet; interesting way to name a wine. — 9 years ago

2nd time lucky. Not corked! Tuesday night #vino 1999 #Picardy #Shiraz from #Pemberton #WesternAustralia. Cool climate #wine with #cellar-aged character, Nose has traces of saddle leather, whiffs of mocha & echoes of bitumen woven upon a complex, savoury palate whose tannins and acidity are harmoniously embraced in a #delectable dance of ensorcelling length and beauteous joy. — 10 years ago
