Dorrien Estate 'The Growers' Shiraz 2005 (Barossa)



Wow. Pretty much the word to desribe this wine. Left open for an hour or more, we had it as an appetiser and main course with our Italian meals at the Cortina in Nundah. Very rich and with loud chocolate overtones, this wine was a cut or two above the cheapies.

Very Berry. Very smoky, but with a sensational chocolate or mocha that lasts. I love this wine and am glad I bought 2 dozen :)

It's a shame that Dorrien is a Cellarmasters winery, I would love to see what mr Halliday said about it. It did win gold at the 2007 Sydney Wine Show. So, that's nice.

Thankyou Mr Doddridge :)
