Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 21, 2014 - Get Together at the Crib with the Farmhouse Crew (Chez Moi, Talman Avenue): I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. For many it was their WOTN.
Quite understated but still a behemoth of a Shiraz. Dark blackberry jam, liqueured fig and plum.
Dark chocolate and vanilla. Definitely a fair amount of oak showing but the robust fruit holds up.
I don't see how this is a 95+, in some cases 98 point wine. It is nice and unlike other Barossa and even Glaetzer wines I have tasted. This was one of the first nicer bottles of wine I purchased and was somehow able to hold onto it for six years! I strongly believe that cellar time assisted much in the score and more restrained qualities.
