McLaren Vale Old Vine Grenache 2014

9.1

Excellent typical example of good Aussie Grenache. First impression is 'red Clare Riesling'. Clean with ripe red fruit (strawberry fruit roll-out). White pepper with a little heart. Best with a little chill. #blindtasting #australianwinetasting #yangarra #Grenache — 8 years ago

Shingleback

Red Knot McLaren Vale Shiraz 2012

The garnet/purple '12 Shingleback Shiraz 'Red Knot' offers a rich nose of black cherry, plum and earth aromas with secondary hints of spice, tar, licorice and dark cocoa. The medium-bodied mouth is lively with huge jammy blackberry and anise flavors, with subtle oak and smooth tannins. Vibrant long finish. A lot of wine for the money! — 12 years ago

The Coppermine Road McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Cedar, malt milo, raspberry, yoyo biscuit and fresh Blackcurrant have been the aromas showing tonight. I do know this wine can show beautiful leather, stalky notes and earthy aromas but it simply did not last long enough. Precise fruit, tannin targets the front palate but acid plays a backing role. Great wine. — 10 years ago

Hickinbotham Syrah 2003

The inky ruby/purple '03 Clarendon Hills Syrah 'Hickinbotham' throws a toxic mix of dark berries, charcoal, candied licorice and raw steak at the nostrils. Super intense flavors of kirsch and espresso precede the heavily extracted and lingering finish. Just a remarkably elegant effort. — 13 years ago

9.2

Great purity of fruit. Nicely integrated oak with very modern style. Light tannin for a cab. None of the jam pursued by past vintners but still great bright fruit. Perhaps best with a few more years in bottle. — 10 years ago

The Laughing Magpie McLaren Vale Shiraz Viognier 2008

Tasted in 2011 and 2013. This is evolving into a beautiful wine. The oak is quite forward on the nose but the rich dark fruits shine through on the palate with pepper and anise on the finish. Drinking very well now but good for another 3 to 4 years. — 10 years ago
