Best's
Bin No 1 Great Western Shiraz
Grampians, Western Victoria, Victoria, Australia
Meaty, charcuterie notes together with black and blue fruits. The palate is rich and savoury - full bodied on the earthy spectrum with ripe plum. Bests are an under the radar Gem in the Grampians. It should be a regular purchase particularly at the price. An average price of around $30.

May 4th, 2024Medium bodied, juicy black/red fruits, peppery (seems a Grampians trait?), fine tannin, balanced good length. Continued strongly into a second night, great QPR, easy to buy.

Nothing to write home about. Keep it moving... the remains will be dispatched.

Nov 25th, 2018Dark crimson in colour. Some meaty charcuterie aromas. Medium weight and spicy with savoury berry fruit. Love this style. No expected black pepper - probably because of the riper fruit and warmer year. No overt oak influence because of the use of large format oak casks. Most enjoyable.

Nov 20th, 2018An opaque dark crimson in colour. Herbaceous on the nose with Mint, spice and plum - earthy mineral nuances as well. Medium to full bodied palate with plum and mint, essentially savoury, a touch of black pepper - still with firm tannins. From a very old pedigreed area for long living Shiraz in Great Western in Victoria. Good value and QPR at $25 AUD from Bests. I have Bin 0 and Thompson’s Family Cuvées that are older than this but not nearly ready.

Dark berries with Floral (violets). I wasn't a big fan of this bottle.
