2003 Clarendon Hills Syrah Liandra 91 Points
Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, Clarendon
A bit tart on entry and then full of smooth blueberry fruit . Nice baking spice and a nice backbone. Somewhat one dimensional. Acceptable acidity on finish.

Some found this wine bretty, I did not but tend to have a tolerance for funk.Mostly raspberry fruit and an astringent finish. Took on more weight as the evening progressed and resembled more of a bordeaux blend at the end of the night with a touch of cedar.

1997 Elderton Shiraz Single Vineyard Command 96 Points

caught some coffee on the nose. Fruit dominated by black raspberry. Purity to the fruit was amazing. This is a benchmark wine. Very powerful, rich and dense. Pure bliss.

Reminded me of alan Reva. Someroad tar and some prune notes. after a while, red fruit dominated with some licorice and blackberry. The wine was a bit tart, zesty and towad end of bottle some strawberry and blueberry emerged.

Wow! Seamless. A bit thin on the finish or it would have warranted a higher score. High quality fruit - lueberry, black cherry and blackberry.

Ridiculous! Blackerry and blueberry pie in a glass. This wine is drink soft and easy. Very feminine. Memorable and my WOTN.

2005 Mollydooker Shiraz Carnival of Love 84 Points

My bottle and my worst of the night I hate when that happens. Medicinal and disjointed. Overthe top. Yuck. Cloying. Tinny and manipulated black fruit.
