8/4/2011 - Shirazster wrote: 91 pointsPour a glass and let sit for an hour or decant. Deep dark forest fruit with fresh tannins. Almost Jammy. My wife and I like Australian Shiraz so this is a similar class wine in terms of body and fruit. |

4/8/2011 - Shirazster wrote: 92 pointsDelicious, tasty, jammy with a rich heavy nose of smokey tar and graphite, a little barnyard, and a medium to full bodied weight with a grippy tannins. I LIKE this wine! Great now and on it's own, will integrate and get richer and more complex over time. |

1/1/2011 - Shirazster wrote: 82 pointsOpened and immediately thought it was corked. Got better after breathing for an hour. Super black cherry and bramble berry giving it a sour tannic tone. I didn't get any other notable flavours or aromas. |

2001 Clarendon Hills Syrah Hickinbothammore |
11/25/2010 - Shirazster wrote: 91 pointsNot a typical aussie Shiraz. Definitely has the barn yard nose but not too much fruit or alcohol. This wine has integrated well and actually expresses some sophisticated Bordeaux style complexity. I would buy a case. |

2008 Berton Vineyard Merlot All outSouth Eastern more |
4/30/2010 - Shirazster wrote: 79 pointsDay 1 Wonderful nose with bursting fruit fragrance but lacks the palate experience. A bit bitter and contrasting from the mid to end. Abrupt finish. Somewhat merlot style velvety feel in the mouth, but has traces of young Pinot and cab sav varietals. Hopefully day 2 brings some merlot out. |

2005 Cuvée du Vatican Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve SixtineRed Rhone Blend more |
4/4/2010 - Shirazster wrote: 93 pointsOpened on Saturday, nose gave warm scents of plum, mulberry and spice. Texture was silky, had a bourdeux style finish which had a nice integrated smooth ending. Day two yielded more fruit, especially at the end of the bottle. Last glass was the best. I would decant this wine next time. Good for socialising and dinner. |
