Community Tasting Notes (average 86.6 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by MindMuse on 4/24/2010 & rated 87 points: Tasty round blend of shiraz, merlot, and cab. Black fruits, oiled leather, liqueur. Somewhat hot finish. Reasonable, but not special. (2328 views)
 Tasted by jmetvoice on 3/9/2009: Fruit and pepper combination. Great wine for the price. (Dedalus Private Tasting) (2521 views)
 Tasted by Greg_O on 4/6/2008 & rated 86 points: Hints of dark shiraz fruit countered with some greenness, lower acidity and cooler climate aspects. Nice dark fruit aspects and soft tannins but ultimately a little thin on mid palate and finish. (2709 views)
 Tasted by 3ryon on 8/9/2007 & rated 82 points: Perhaps this was a bad bottle. Unbalanced and acidic. (3436 views)
 Tasted by gorm on 5/26/2007 & rated 91 points: Dark purple. Nice and seducing nose of black cherries, blueberries, blackberries, buttermilk, bacon and white pepper. Medium to full bodied, seamless, very pleasing, yet retains elegance and balance. A very succesful blend og Shiraz, Cabernet and Merlot and good QPR. Rating: 91-92. (3078 views)
 Tasted by mphatic on 5/19/2006: Dutschke tasting 2006 (Brisbane): Perfumed nose with the Cab and merlot dominating. Abundant acidity, a fair dose of oak, and dusty, drying tannins. Pretty good VFM. (148 views)
