$13CAD.

Medium-ruby colour. Alcoholic nose with cherries and medicinal notes. Doesn't look or smell like shiraz. Light-medium bodied. Pepper and mint on the palate with plenty of tannin. Thin finish. An overall non-descript wine that could be from anywhere. 81 points (08/19/2003).

Sounds like an oxymoron to me!

I don't name the wines nor set the prices. Maybe you should drop into Angove's and tell them to rethink their labelling practices.

They are not the only ones to do this sort of thing. There are many "Reserve" wines now at low price points so as a result the trem is now meaningless ( as we all know) and just designed to suck those in that dont know any better.

Futronic,

In yesterdays Sydney Morning herald "Good Living" section the wine writer, Huon Hooke who is much respected said he also though the naming of this wine was not on. Angroves then announced that from the next release it will be totally changed to Long 'something?'.

Pure silliness. I think they should rename it Angove's Classic Plonk.
