| Community Tasting Notes (average 87.7 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by 750ml on 7/14/2022 & rated 88 points: Black cherry, anise, licorice and vanilla oak on the nose. Medium to thick mouthfeel with a much lighter tannic structure than previous vintages. Palate of cherry, plum and blackberry flavors. Medium length finish. Paired nicely with sweet and sour beef stir fry. (414 views) | | | Tasted by mjwstickings on 5/30/2022 & rated 88 points: I'll admit that I bought this mainly because of the Pink Floyd reference (plus some positive reviews), but it really is a very good wine. It's lush and decadent, thick and seductive, with ripe dark cherry and berry notes along with creamy chocolate, but it's not too jammy or confected, and what keeps it from the frequent excess of Aussie Shiraz is a solid countervailing complement of lively acidity at the core (along with soft tannins that build from the mid-palate towards the finish), and prevalent black pepper and brown spice that cut through the fruit. It's not terribly complex, to be sure, but it works really well for what it is, a hot (14.8% ABV) and powerful Clare Valley / Limestone Coast Shiraz that pushes the envelope but doesn't cross the line. And yes, it goes really well with chocolate, and perhaps also while listening to the greatest album of all time.
