SYD OFFLINE Vivino Meet-Up - Feb 2016: It may have come in joint seventh of 11 blind tasted wines with 4.0 from me. But it was the most disappointing. It has huge potential. The nose was too heady, with briary cedar oak mixing with strong alcohol. The palate was sublime, as this huge Barossa beast unleashed it's Shiraz and Cab Sauv blend to reveal a super smooth, intense palate of plums, cherries, blackberries, mint and eucalyptus. There was a lovely sweet lift mid palate, and a velvet-like finish. But it's 10 yrs from its prime. If you've got one tucked away - don't open it yet. WIP. But there's a 96 or 97 in the making ...

Kaesler named this wine ‘WOMS’ which stands for ‘weapon of mass seduction’....hallelujah! It is 57% Shiraz and 43% Cabernet. What you get is a smooth balance of fruit, savoury, spice and smoky oak, all delicately balanced. Class all round! Best drinking till 2040.
