I've had this wine several times and wouldn't have picked it. This is much deeper and more medicinal, like an aged Barolo, absolutely nothing like an Aussie Shiraz. Wtf is going on here?!? Hinting at being leathery too, another adjective I've never used near a fruit forward wine from down under.
By the glass, second glass in, from Portofino Macau. My annual trip here! Please keep serving CR!

Nicely warming on an emotional rainy day. Technically lower from all you technical people out there but its fruity, its balanced, its alcoholic, its warming. Its good.

90 is a slight push, but anyway, after being opened several hours this offers a plush very ripe style of spiced chocolate dates.

From Magum. I had a few bottles when this was released, and this was certainly better. Easy going with BBQ meats. Nothing too complex.
