Community Tasting Note

• Eric gene Noack Likes this wine: 95 points

  April 2, 2019 - Ah the internet, what a mess of incorrect information, cut and paste reviews and people espousing to have tasted and reviewed a wine but never got closer than hearing about it.
  
  Any way, back to the review because I am exhausted figuring this one out.
  
  The first thing I noticed is the label shows nothing on the front as to its origin or year. No wonder people are just guessing.
  The next thing I noticed is reviews and points that just don't exist . Claims of high points from certain reviewers who were actually reviewing another wine or an earlier vintage.
  This 2015 vintage came from 1991 shiraz not the claimed 1907 shiraz, now that's just a lazy paste and copy or is the back label incorrect ?
  
  The Mataro comes from 1898/1897 vines.
  The wine is deep and brooding and rich.
  On the nose it is a mix of oak/earth/stalks
  On the tongue soft deep fruit with tannin evident and a long finish with slight acid at the front.
  A high quality offering .
  I would say 10 years would see this out so mark it at 2029 .
  You won't find this wine on the Lou Miranda site but the 2014 is there but sold out.
  The price ex vineyard is $89.95AU but it's only the tourists who pay these prices.

  Supposedly there was only 3600 bottles produced but the image shown is the normal red bottle and not the Pinot bottle that I have so, not sure whether they are talking about the same wine.
  
  Stand by for my rolling reviews.
