| Community Tasting Notes (average 88 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by dave747400 on 4/17/2013 & rated 89 points: With Sirloin steak. Opened 8hrs before drinking and small measure poured. A year since last tasting this wine, and it's really helped. Similar crowd-pleasing profile as before, but even more integrated. Up-front fruitiness has backed off a little to be replaced by a little incipient complexity. Surprisingly delicious! (928 views) | | Tasted by dave747400 on 2/2/2012 & rated 87 points: 1 small measure removed, bottle re-corked & left at cellar temperature for 24hrs. After 24hrs: Young fruit-driven nose. 24hrs has really helped the palate - integrated, round, not too much heat. Striaghtforward crowd pleaser. (1240 views) |
| Boschendal Producer websiteCabernet-Shiraz BlendA very popular blend in Australia-particularly from South Australia, where the two varietals work well together. The most famous of these would be the Penfolds Bin 389, considered Australia's most cellared wine. In years gone by this was referred to as "Baby Grange" as some of the wine used barrels from the vintage of Grange.
