$31.35/bt @ Dan Murphy's - considered perhaps the best vintage yet of this wine:
- 95pts - Jeremy Oliver, Huon Hooke, James Halliday
- 94pts - Campbell Mattinson (Winefront)
- Wine of the Week - Winsor Dobbin:
There is an unmistakeable Barossa-ness to this bold but unostentatious wine; it's a red that is comfortably self-assured. Made from Australia's favourite red grape, grown on near century-old vines in a stellar vineyard, this is helps sets the standard in the $40 price category. It's full-blooded but reminds one of a veteran boxer; all the power is used economically. Think plum and dark berry, black chocolate, subtle oak. History indicates that Filsell shirazes cellar well for up to two decades, so I'd buy a six pack. Enjoy a couple now with a juicy steak or rabbit casserole, and the rest between 2027 and 2037. $43. www.grantburgewines.com.au.
We drink this. Very nice as a regular everyday bottle. Our local Dans has it often at $26.95 (usually every 2nd wk price moves from $26.96 to About $32) … so when $26.95 we use cashrewards for 5.6% back making it now $25.44 … then use 5% wish card taking it to $24.17 for online click and collect (delivery would be extra).
