Quite common in higher end wines, Twizz. Indicates time spent in oak

2009 Little Wine Co Little Gem Shiraz. Good shit. Medium bodied, red fruits, typical Hunter savoury edges and fine tannins with a licorice finish.

Had a '09 Gomersall Mataro for lunch. Beautiful. Rich, gritty and pepper. Long too.

Theb a '07 Mitolo Savitar Shiraz. Wonderful vanilla, chery, rhaspberry etc. Looooong finish too. Beaut colour. That was finished by us too quick.

Then cracked a '13 Fox Gordon Hannah's Swing. Good wine, but hard to follow the previous two.

Simply purchase any 6 of the following legendary reds for $170, and you'll receive a bonus bottle of Saltram No.1 Shiraz – valued at $73.99^!

Select from:

Wolf Blass Grey Label Shiraz#
Wolf Blass Grey Label Cabernet Shiraz#
Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon#
Wynns Black Label Shiraz#
Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mourvèdre#

The Shiraz Mouvedre tastes like cigarettes, not a fan

Wynns Black Label Shiraz is currently on the table and gets a thumbs up.

I'm in Rocky for 2 weeks with work, being on call I don't even get the chance to enjoy a drop in a shithole boring town. Hating life ATM.

I agree Twiz, i find it difficult to keep a nice bottle to age, especially when you know it's a cracker.

 

[Twizzle]

only 2 bottles left, might give it a rest tonight

Fly home tomorrow morning, yeeeehaaah !! (that wasn't a Central QLD Cowboy yehah, twas thank f**k I'm heading home). Longest 2 weeks of my life.

I can see my wine fridge from 700km away, insert Homer drool.

D'you know what I did? I bought a cask!

Stanley?

 

[Bazal]

I wish! Tangled Vine.....

Nah, there is method to my madness. Originally I was going to make mulled wine and we have a bunch of Winesmiths Tempranillo going out of date. Then I discovered it was better than very many bottled cheap Tempranillo's on the market so now I'm just drinking it guiltily :lol:

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Hope it's out of Reidel glassware...

 

[Bazal]

Shit. Why didn't I think of that?

Tomfoolery "Skullduggery" Mataro Shiraz. A very silky yet serious drink, a mix of sweet red fruits and savoury leather + red meat tastes on the palate. If I am patient enough, I should try this in a few hours when it opens up more. Although the chance of that is probably slim...

Mollydooker wines dropped off some stock for tasting....all good wines, but the Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz is outstanding. 16 fking % alcohol but

Ended up having a glass left since we last spoke. This is like drinking velvet, a seriously good drop.

 

[Twizzle]

never tried drinking velvet

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

You should, does wonders for your colon.

 

[Twizzle]

So does beer, very regular this morning, every hour on the hour

2013 Turkey Flat Butchers Block SGM. One of my favourites every year, drinks well above it's price. Black fruit, chocolate and vanilla oak, and I really get the mataro personally. Shit hot.
