Not for me, but I'm sure some would like this really big, sweet, flamboyant Aussie Shiraz. Sort of like a gal with big fake boobs: doesn't seem natural, it's unbalanced, but it fits some people's taste. Not sure what they did with the Cab that is supposed to be part of this. Not Rated as I'd just bring down the average on something I didn't like. Hate to discriminate against this silicon set.

Hi Randy,

We are all entitled to our own likes and dislikes and that's 100% OK but I disagree with your conclusions on this wine, especially about the "unbalanced" comment.

Here is my TN:

Another wine with terrific structure but this one has more overt fruit showing. Bucket loads of very fine tannins, lively acid and obvious, deep, fruit combine to form a muscular weight, solid wine. Coffee, chocolate, plums, blackberry and liquorice flavours add a sophisticated complexity and finish long. Rated as Highly Recommended with **** for value (based on the average street price) the rating should improve as the wine matures in 2008+.

As for "fitting some peoples tastes" it sure does as it is a very popular wine in Oz. Halliday rated it at 95 and Oliver rated it at 18.5 (=95 on the 100 point scale.)
Cheers Ric
