  April 7, 2012 - Opened my first ever Turkey Flat N/V Sparkling Shiraz (Barossa Valley, 12.7% A/V and disgorged November 2007). As with all the serious Oz red fizzes I’ve tried over recent times, this has tremendously deep purple colour, enormous streams of fine bubbles followed by an impressive bouquet full of blue- and black- berries, a little sweet earth and hints of spice and subservient oak. The palate equally good with rich, slightly sweet, mouthfilling dark berried flavours, attractive swirling mousse, holding an excellent line through the mouth with cuddly tannins providing a solid foundation, although the finish is marginally short. Otherwise hard to fault. 90 points.
