Blackcurrant, plums, sweet spice, mint, talcy tannins, fresh, flavours as per nose, long, balanced, quite elegant. Nice.
This was still quite primary but is integrated so, under screwcap, that could mean anywhere between 7 - 10 years old. I went with 2014 and successfully identified this as the Pyrus
" (783 views) | | | Tasted by crazywineguy on 1/24/2023 & rated 88 points: Day 1: Hallmarks of a good medium bodied red but just too young for me. Acid is poking above everything else, more so than the tannin. Definitely a food wine. Under screwcap this needs another 5 years to soften and mellow out to a nice tertiary phase. Screwcaps are a 2 edged sword, aren't they? No cork taint but slower development. finish is a tad too short and twist of astringency which is less welcome.
Day 2: Stable, no change. (984 views) | | | Tasted by Bsmith457 on 5/31/2022 & rated 94 points: Dense dark core with a light crimson hue. Dry spicy aroma, tomato bush, pepper, turmeric, dark fruit. Plum, blueberry, milk chocolate. Powdery persistent tannin, fresh acidity. Medium to full body, long finish.
Requires a good decanting, still requires a few more years for my taste for the tannin to soften. Good quality, long life ahead. (1115 views) | | | Tasted by Bsmith457 on 2/12/2020 & rated 94 points: Very deep dark purple colour. Aroma of black pepper, light spice, dry oak, dried leaves. Flavours of Blackberry, plum, mulberry. Sweet up front, finishes with a touch of licorce.

On the nose we have Lovely Cassis tobacco , bordeaux like complexity , with nice sweet newish oak too. v/good On the palate we have ripe sweet fruit maturing ,similar flavours too above , only lite to medium bodied mid palate an soft tannins giving length . Getting ready for certain to enjoy with rare beef. QPR around $25 - $30 ok (2620 views) | | | Tasted by DanielJH on 8/22/2017 & rated 93 points: Needed a few days to open up. Lovely creme de cassis, blackberries, plums, coffee cream, spices, cedar and tobacco. Very dark in colour. Plush and silky smooth structure with grippy medium tannin. Well balanced with a pinch of aniseed and pepper on a sustained finish. (2903 views) | | | Tasted by michael_cooke on 8/18/2017 & rated 89 points: Rich red fruits, juicy. More malbec than franc?
Vanila oak.
Tannins firm but not overbearing.
A bit short on the finish.
Needs plenty of time but I can't see it being great.
Still pretty good value it it can be found at a discounted price. (2203 views) | | | Tasted by CamWheeler on 11/21/2016 & rated 89 points: TWE 2016 Expo: Sandalwood, incense, smoke and cherry. Nice red fruits, with good tannins providing the structure. I like the medium bodied profile and this should improve over time. (2158 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 6/17/2015: Peter Bourne GWT Limestone Coast Cabernets Star Performers Tasting (8 Danks street, Sydney): Medium minus intensity aromas of polished oak, sightly meaty, red and black currant. In the mouth the wine is juicy with red and black currant, fine silky tannins, it dries out a little and doesn't carry and fruit. Nah (2174 views) |

Producer websiteRed Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.Australia Wine Australia (Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation) | Australian Wines (Wikipedia)South Australia South Australian Wine Industry Association | South Australian Wines (Wikipedia)Limestone Coast Limestone CoastCoonawarra Coonawarra |
