5/3/2014 - jnewman77 wrote: NRThis was my first Clare Valley Riesling and I must say I was not impressed. It may have been that it was compared with some really good German stuff, but this did not have the goods. The nose is very citrus with lemon, lime zest, fresh tennis balls, and a touch of petrol. The palate is fairly thin, highly acidic, and slightly metallic. The finish is not good. Unimpressed. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

8/23/2015 - kalissa Likes this wine: 86 pointsThis is more than adequate value for what it costs, but I find the wine somewhat flabby and jammy. It could just be that I prefer a more old-world taste profile. I nevertheless would recommend this wine to fans of the style. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

3/4/2013 - graemeg wrote: NRNobleRottersSydney - Clare Valley (Alio's, Surry Hills): [15%, screwcap] {DavidC} Big, hot raisin/prune nose. Full-bodied, low acid wine; ultra-ripe – over-ripe but not dead! – grape flavours; prunes, liquorice, soy on the palate; medium gritty tannins, lots of presence on the front of the tongue, medium length finish. If this note reads as stilted, it’s because the wine has a blocky, coming and going quality to it; this is a modern, fashionable, legitimate style of wine, but I think it’s one that always shows better young; this wine is close to the end of that ideal window I reckon, so I sense I’m tasting the last of the best of it. Get into it before it blows itself apart and turns into a black hole… 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

3/6/2016 - tbone wrote: NRDecanted 1 hour. Pretty big, pretty fruity and pretty good. Beautiful aromas of both red and black fruits. Great mouthfeel with completely resolved tannins. Fruit is starting to mature and not a lot of nuance, not sure if it will ever come with this wine. But very, very good now if your in the mood for a larger scaled wine. Paired great with sous vide New Yorkers. Last bottle and glad I cellared. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

11/16/2013 - Derek Darth Taster wrote: NRVintage Australian Wine Tasting (Extra Space): Lightly oaked, sweet fruity nose. Very fruit forward with lots of dark fruits, blackberries, jam hitting the palate. Nice sweetness. Spicy towards the finish. Still quite big in my opinion. Should have requested for it to be poured through the Vinturi before tasting. I think this wine needs a few more years to smoothen out, but will not develop any more complexity. Value for money if looking for a simple good Aussie Shiraz. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

3/14/2016 - Ex-Ray Likes this wine: 97 pointsA gorgeous wine! Dark garnet, still completely opaque, no browning at the edges. Immediate pronounced aromas of black raspberries, roasted meat, earth, some sweet oak. Full-bodied flavors of black fruits, very viscous, still plenty of fruit, medium acidity, soft tannins, beautifully balanced. Long, jammy aftertaste which keeps going. This reminds me of an excellent Grange, but bigger and more powerful. This wine is not "Old", as Advocate now says. It's fully mature and I think will be excellent for another few years. No need to age it further, though. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

Quite why a supposedly excellent Australian producer still chose to bottle a premium wine under inferior cork as late as the 2004 vintage is beyond my comprehension. Screwcap had already been established several years, ideology can’t have been the reason... Anyway, congratulations! Your disgustingly ruined wine successfully disappointed this consumer (who bought it on release and cellared it under perfect conditions). NR Do you find this review helpful?

2/4/2022 - BHRH Likes this wine: 93 pointsone hour slow ox in glass. Significant herbal and eucalyptus on the nose with nice cassis, french oak, and a bit of tobacco. Nice bright black currant fruit, sweet around the edges. Mature with just enough ripeness to state that this is in a really nice plateau. Lots of tertiary elements as this evolved through hour 3 with the fruit really shining. A terrific example of Clare Valley fruit - in perfect condition! Delightful!! 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

5/8/2014 - pclin wrote: 91 pointsOn the nose alone, this is probably more promising than the rubbish 03' Kilikanoon Shiraz R and unimpressive 04' Kilikanoon Shiraz M MaLaren Vale. Hints of oaks on the nose but not over-blown. Sadly oaks are more prominent on the palate, but still tolerable. Tannins not yet fully resolved, may take another 3 to 5 years. Slightly hot at finish with 15% alcohol. Plenty of acidity. Decent wine but not even close to being a 98 pointer. 90-92 pts. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

12/3/2011 - Mike Kopanski wrote: 87 pointsGiant Wine Sale & Tasting 12/3/2011 (Cellar on Greene, Columbia, SC): If you like big Australian Shiraz, this is for you. All the stuff we either love or hate is easily distinguishable with this wine. The color is almost black. The nose is relatively complex with almost explosive blackberry and blueberry fruit backed up with of course vanilla, but also some bacon fat, violets, alcohol and cedar. I also get some of that diesel fuel smell, that does not seem to affect the rest of the profile. The fruit is fresh, hard driving, in your face, blackberry, blueberry and dark cherry. There is that typical white pepper spiciness. Not quite full bodied, but still very complete in the mouth. Somehow they find a way to balance all that alcohol. Sweet little tannins. Has a nice touch of chocolate on the fruity finish. |
