2010 The Standish Wine Company Shiraz The Schubert Theorem 95 Points

Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley

Move out of the way of this beast, because otherwise there might be some serious damage as this wine kick-ass! Big time!!

Cherries, blackberries and blackberries dominate this wine which is rich, velvety, sumptous and just plain awesome!

2009 Mollydooker Shiraz Velvet Glove 93 Points

Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, McLaren Vale

Butter, honey, candied-nut-tart, cookie dough, caramel, licorice, raspberries and mixed herbs. This is a flavor rollercoster!

Downside is that it is a bit 'stingy' in the nose given the elevated alcohol, but still OK.

2010 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 95 Points

France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Tasted blind and the first reaction is clear: What up, CdP?

Popcorn, minerals, fresh cranberries and raspberries with red cherries on top. Classic Chateauneuf at it's best!

2006 Alban Vineyards Syrah Reva Alban Estate Vineyard 94 Points

USA, California, Central Coast, Edna Valley

Licorice, blackberries and white pepper are the main theme in this wine with an extreeeeemly long finish. The alcohol in this bottle was a bit too dominant for my taste which I didn't feel in previous bottles, hope this will calm down again.
