February 15, 2013 - 2013 Sydney Royal Wine Show - Exhibitor's Tasting & Trophy Wines Lunch (homebush & Darling Harbour): [Gold medal] {screwcap, 14.5%} Gentle strawberry fruits nurture peaty earth. Berries and sandy soils blend together. The palate is wonderfully fine-grained, with pure light red fruits of great intensity but not size, and fresh acidity forming a medium-bodied wine with great evenness of presence along the tongue. Dry and balanced, it culminates in a long contemplative finish. This is a really classy wine that hides its alcohol very well indeed, and avoids excess oakiness as well. A class act in every respect.

I don't have my original bit of paper 2 years on, so it's possible I either read it wrongly or transcribed wrongly from my tasting sheet. Of course, Halliday might be wrong too!
