First review for this wine, which has been one of my favourites since I bought a dozen at last years Brisbane Wine Show in July. At the time it was the best thing I have tasted, but that was a while ago now, still, it holds it's own.
Beautiful smooth vanilla followed by ripe rasberries on the palate. Long and luxurious, this wine is a cut above and only lacking a little in complexity.
That isn't really a problem though because this wine tastes fantastic and if you know what you like, you don't need to drink a wine and constantly be looking for more in every mouthful. No, this is a good wine - Simple and luscious.
I read that James Halliday rates it a 94 and he seems to be right again. God Love him.. :)
I paid $35 a bottle on special for the wine show and have had no luck with emailing the winery itself to purchase more (they seem not to answer any type of personal email... that's not the way to build a name...) and to buy it by the bottle they seem to want $50. I rate this a 94 too, but for less than $20, the Dorrien Growers is a far better drop.
Still, I love this wine.
Drinkability 94
Value 88
Price $35 (Brisbane Wine Show Special Price_)
