Community Tasting Note

    January 23, 2010 - An Unforgettable Birthday for Martin (Lucas @ Klapsons): God-like elegance with an extremely suprising elegant nose filled with black licourice, black florals, black tea and topped up with lifted exotic spices. On the palate, this is equally suprising in elegance with old worldish textural mouthfeel and I felt a coating of pauillac graphite / pencil lead glazing across the tongue before seamlessly slipping down the oesophagus. Wow! This is how aussie shiraz was made to be drunk and would have been so if not for Parker's "discovery". There is a light footed lift in its stride which sets it apart from the other shirazes.
