Arrived in Canberra (ex Melb) in less than 24 hours!
wow thats really quick, can you let us know how is it go
Sure! I've got one 'settling' on the the bench for tonight.
Well, there's less than a quarter of the bottle left, and dinner is still 15 minutes away… Wife and three boys may have a part in it (the 'kids' like it).
I'd say it falls just on the savoury side - but there is plenty of fruit to balance it and a nice hint of 'barrel char'. It's just not a 'fruit bomb' and it goes the better with food for that.
All-in-all pretty impressive (especially at $20 a bottle). I suppose that I'd better open another bottle to have with dinner! That's the problem with bringing up children to enjoy good wine.
Off to the kitchen - there's a sauce to be made for the beef.
Cheers!! ordered lol
"It shows beautiful lifted aromatics with complex, rich and ripe spicy dark cherry and rhubarb fruit. It walks a beautiful tightrope between savoury and fruit sweet and the subtle smoky oak framework and crisp acidity ties it all up perfectly." (Winestar description)
Sigh! … and bought.
Thanks for the 'heads up'!
