Gotham Langhorne Ck/ Mclarenvale Shiraz 2006

Ok, this is the 4th bottle we have had of the Gotham Shiraz, but it hasn't really rated a mention until now. For all the hype that Get Wines Direct have put forward, this is nothing more than a $9.95 bottle of wine. Not great, not horrible.
Tonight Jean had it open for a couple of hours before we touched it. That seemed to help. It was light on the nose, smooth and strong vanilla tones.
It tasted better than previous bottles, but sadly, nothing out of the extremely ordinary.
It quickly turned into just another cheap wine...

It does however have the coolest label ever. Especially to those into Batman :)

Anyway, take it or leave it, I could find cheaper and better cleanskins or even normal wines (Chalk Hill for instance)

Drinkability 87
Value 89
Price $9.95 (Get Wines Direct)
