| | Tasted by thebonnydooner on 2/2/2007 & rated 89 points: Bought around 3 years ago from Costco for about $16. This ended up pretty darn tasty. Lost much of its baby fat - oak was well integrated, the cherry and blackberry fruit took on more chocolate nuances. Nice ripe palate, with blackberry and blueberry fruit with strong acidity, soft tannins and a nice rich dark chocolate finish. Finish is a little short but this is a complex and nicely drinking wine that has aged beautifully. Happy that I have more reasonably cheap "Aussie experiments" aging in my cellar. (1511 views) |
| | Tasted by dsimmons on 4/4/2004 & rated 90 points: Picked this wine up at Costco for about $16.50. WS rated it 90. not rated by RP. Drank the wine with bison burgers. In fact I am still sipping as I write this TN. The color is dark ruby but a tad cloudy. The wine has good fruit and definite chocolate nuances. The wine definately improves with a bit of time so I would recommend some time in the decanter. Very good now and I believe it will improve with a bit of time in the cellar. I would give this wine 90-91. Think I will be picking up a few more bottles!!
Second day. The nose is more open with good fruity aromas. The wine is very concentrated with good cherry chocolate taste. I think a good bottle for $16.50!! (2324 views) |
