Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 11, 2015 - [Qantas' First lounge, from decanter]: elegant, seamless, spicy syrah with plush dark-red fruit and some sandalwood notes towards the finish. The Australian critics giving this 98 points are mad though - this is nowhere near the complexity of a good Clape, a good Gonon or (if you want a Cote-Rotie comparison) Guigal's "Chateau d'Ampuis" bottling, let alone the LaLaLas. Very nice wine, but at $150+, it's a big strech - Clape, Paris and Gonon all release their flagship syrah a lot cheaper and frankly their wine is a lot more interesting.
