Tuesday, August 5, 2008 - I bought this wine based on the reviews here but I must say I was very disappointed. I expected a heavy weight but the bottle I got pales in comparison to other Australian Syrahs. OK I got the licorice and black cherries but not much else and it wasn't even that big. If you compared this to a Mollydooker Two Left Feet the think the MD will probably blow it away in term of intensity. If you compare this to a Elderton Command or a Two Hand's Bella's Garden they will blow it away in terms of complexity granted they're not in the same price point.
In the mouth this wine tasted fine: nothing offensive, nothing outstanding in comparison to other AU and CA Syrah.
For the money I'd load up on the Two Left Feet and splurge on a Bella's Garden every once in a while.
