Deep red, with gorgeous fruit driven aromas with subtle spice. Tannins are light and will ensure this wine has plenty of time to develop.

This drank so much better than a much more evolved bottle consumed a couple of months ago. Deep purple in appearance. Ripe, sweet blackberry fruit with mocha and some iodine notes. Full-bodied mouthful of velvety rich dark fruit flows seamlessly across the palate with some spice and a pronounced dark cherry note. Well-balanced for such a big wine. A superb bottle and very enjoyable.

(Chens@BengHiang, w James) dark purple with edge of garnet rim. Deep dark berries, black plums, even some cocoa and fresh espresso. Soft sweet leather, warm wood spices. Supple well resolved tannins. Clean purity with effortless power. Structured and leafy, with taut acidity keeping things lifted and tight. No signs of flagging. Layered, translucent and juicy. Phenomenal, but alas my last bottle; good run!

Dark red. Sharp red fruit hits the nose first then there's a dash o blackcurrant. Shirazy black pepper tannins. Fulsome flavours, tannins are present but have softened, dry, a support of red fruit acidity, black fruit, quite simple and ok.

2009 Kilikanoon Shiraz Parable

4/25/2024 - Quarked wrote: 92 points

This is what I'm hoping for in aged but inexpensive shiraz. Medium-bodied, bright, with good acidity and blue fruits. It's obviously Australian, but really well balanced and picking up secondary flavors. These Aussie wines seem to develop so slowly under screwcap that I could imagine it going another 10+ years. More or less the same over two nights.

Terrible bland Riesling. Would be Non-descript and forgettable but there is an off flavour that makes it really appalling.

2013 Kilikanoon Grenache Prodigal

Clare Valley more

4/4/2024 - WindFlyer Likes this wine: 90 points

[tasted blind]

garnet-ruby colour with moderate meniscus, medium body and appreciable sediment. balsamic notes waft thru a nose of dark, ripe plum and berry compote with leather and dried herb accents. in mouth it is dry, medium-plus bodied, moderately structured, and less fruity than the nose would suggest. the fruit, as it gains in concentration in the mid-palate has a slightly stewed, balsamic quality and is laced with earthy, leathery notes. it has good length and moderate heat.

[the colour and nose indicate a somewhat mature wine… say about 10 years old. the colour would also indicate a light-skinned varietal, while the combination of alcohol and fruit intensity would indicate moderate climate. the taste profile rules out Nebbiolo, Gamay, Pinot Noir and Sangiovese, leaving Grenache in contention. from there things get a bit tricky: it does have some ageing Rhone characteristics but is not quite a CdP; the profile is of a cooler climate than Spain; and there is not enough fruit to be California. i guess Rhone incorrectly… and am pleasantly surprised to find it's Australia/ Clare Valley].

Opened this at New Ubin Seafood over lunch with my best friend from the University days today. We had the foie gras with half boiled eggs, har cheong kai, and ribeye with fried rice and wedges.

Deep inky purple with a beautiful aromatic on the nose. Some flint, lead, ink, followed by generous plums and ripe berries. Good intensity and energy.

2시간 브리딩 후 마심. 향은 베리 굿! 맛은 향에 비해 별로. 끝 맛에 산미와 함께 민트 같은 약초 맛이 동반되어 입 안이 상쾌한 느낌이 있음. 구조감은 좋으나 복합미는 부족함.

2019 Kilikanoon Shiraz Killerman's Run

Clare Valley more

3/12/2024 - honest bob wrote: 87 points

From 75cl screwcap, LH C LAX-FRA. Sweet, primary and right-in-your-face. Thinner-bodied and with a much less chewy texture than some more expensive Shiraz bottlings I've tasted from Kilikanoon, which is hardly surprising for this well-made entry-level offering. But it's too sweet for most food pairings right now, and I can't guess whether it has the stuffing to come into better balance with time. If it doesn't, quaff it as a 86P guiltless pleasure with spicy BBQ or mature (blue?) cheese. If it does, then it might merit 88-89P in 2026.

Incredible deep colour but with no signs of ageing. Great nose, fruit, complexity. Still tastes like a young wine. Elegant, classy, complex, rich, exceptionally long. No detailed analysis - the wine was just enjoyed to the full.
Tasted at Grand Union Wine Society with Dan Ruell of Mentzendorff.

Very deep colour. Rich, attractive nose. The fine palate was deep, complex, rich with great length. Fantastic wine.
A sample was tasted next day and it was at least as good - expressive nose, superb bramble fruit and depth on the palate with hints of chocolate and damsons. It showed excellent acidity and the well-structured tannins were soft with a little leather (in a nice way). The palate seemed even longer.
Tasted at Grand Union Wine Society with Dan Ruell of Mentzendorff.

Nice acidity with tart cherry, raspberry, new leather and a mineral finish. With air, black pepper emerges.
Little residual sugar so it drinks fairly balanced. More old world (Southern Rhône - Gigondas) than new world. A good QPR for $15. Drink or hold.

2/24/2024 - hkbob wrote: 91 points

It's been a few years since I've had a bottle of this. This has now tipped over the edge from the exuberance it had in its youth to a slightly past its best mature fruit bomb. Still an impenetrable dark colour but with a slight rusty sheen, a mix of sweet blackberry with some prominent pruney notes and its 15.5% abv very much in evidence. Almost too rich. Lots of mature fruit on the palate and with considerable length, but just lacking freshness. An hour decant improved the experience.

Smells of lemon zest, limes and green apples with gravel/stones, much the same on the palate with a chalky character replacing the stoneyness. Definitely has the Watervale stamp. Very tart, bone dry. Med intensity and med finish helped along by that chalky texture on your cheeks and tongue. It's pleasant and crisp, but it doesn't pop.
