  Weekly tasting group #033; A mixed set of red wines. (@ RR): Beautiful bouquet with licorice and ripe black fruits. On the palate a juicy wine with some sweet spices, good fresh acidity, a touch of sweetness and a lot of alcohol. Pleasant use of oak. A mouth full of alright, but not really complex wine.

  This wine had the most wonderful nose when we first opened it, it could be nothing but an opulent - plummy, jammy, juicy - Australian Shiraz- would have given it a 90 or 91 based on the boquet. Had it with grilled tenderloin and it really didn't open up - the taste was a small percentage of the nose. It was far from bad, but after we had let it breathe for 30 minutes and got the nose, we were expecting better. So 90 for the nose, 85 for the taste, 87 overall. If I had another bottle, I probably would not let it breathe - I would consume immediately. I say that because over the course of 60-90 minutes it also went a little flat and lost what edge it had. Could have been a contender...

  Great for the price. Easy to drink and not too opaque/inky. Good with pizza.

  Dark red purple color. Nose has nice herbs, spice, eucalyptus, creosote, blackberry. The palate is nicely balanced with good fruit, oak, pepper, spices, creosote, and a medium finish. Medium body. Had to drink out of ceramic coffee cups and this still showed its beauty.

  Another nice effort by Peter Lehmann, though I definitely prefer the 2006 to this 2007. Big Aussie Shiraz, still has the big blueberry and some oak and spice. I'd have to compare them side by side to tell you exactly what it is about the '06 that makes it a 2-3 point better wine. Overall the '06 just tastes completely integrated I think, whereas this '07 you can pick out distinct tastes at certain points. The '06 is smoother and fuller, and the '07 is missing the depth of a little leather and licorice that the '06 displays. All of this said, I really like it, and Peter Lehmann remains one of my favorites (if not my favorite) from Australia (Chris Ringland's wine is excellent too).
