White Label, very underrated. Nine years on, under screw cap. Dark red through to the meniscus. Nice balance of fruit, wood, acid and soft furry tannins. Good mouth feel, a little pepper, no eucalypt, just a nice every day Coonawarra shiraz. Could have gone longer in the cellar but happy to drink it tonight. 89+

Mid-red. Reticent nose of bright berries. A slight yeasty lift, but more of a raw/youthful/red under screw cap element than any real fault. Slightly dumb, raw palate. Relatively ordinary albeit what do you expect for $8.50. Less impressive than several adjacent vintages. Still not paint remover whatever other users may suggest.

Should have used it as a paint remover.

Pleasant enough. Red fruits and a hint of coffee. Decent acidity and a little tannin.
