September 4, 2015 - I am neutral about this because I expected a little more from an Aussie GSM. It did not seem to me that the various varietals were well-integrated or well-balanced. A bit of an alcoholic (15.5%) fruit bomb. I've had plenty of GSMs from down under, the USA and Rhine and this did not seem varietally correct to me. That said, it was not a bad wine at all, just left us scratching our heads??? The second night it seemed a little better, so we are going to let the two remaining bottles settle and age 6-12 mos and see what if anything develops.

April 16, 2015 - Smoother than some other Taits but still huge. Berries predominate but complex and dimensional. Will buy again ASAP.
