Caine 5, 2006. Color - dark crimson red and murky. Red plum pine and menthol on the nose floating with sweet age perfume and florals. An initial sweet plum blackberry flavor —soft and elegant. Tobacco cigar peppery long finish lingers on the taste buds bringing about the spices and milk chocolate on finish adding a satisfying and wonderful overall experience with the wine. — 5 years ago

Had a bottle of this 2 years ago after it scooped the pool at the Royal Brisbane Wine Show. I can’t see why it got the accolades - an excellent Pinot Noir no doubt but not Champion Red of the Show. Colour of mid crimson with dark cherry. Initially on opening some oaky varnishy notes with stalkiness. On palate good intensity where the savouriness presides over the fruit dry cherry flavours. Will cellar. — 7 years ago

Pale Crimson with a tawny rim. Nose of Mushroom, rose petal, compost and red berry notes. On the palate M+ intensity- some earthy varnishy berry flavours. Persistent savoury tannins. A lovely Pinot in anyone's language. BP say drink to 15 years. I have one left. See how long I last! Generally agreed to be Australia's best Pinot Noir. — 8 years ago

Deep ruby glass with Crimson rim. Decant 30 mins for a deeply complex medium nose of earth, black cherry, raspberry, cassis, anise, leather, coffee, cocoa, pepper, spice, tobacco, blackberry and vanilla. Gentle acid to the palate of medium body with black fruits, anise, and black pepper, Soft tannins lead to a medium long slightly chalky finish of pepper, black fruit and smoke. Very good balance and structure. Soft tannins better as a sipper or with lighter dishes. Great value at $27.99 USD for this South African Shiraz. — 10 years ago

As per previous notes. Dense crimson in colour. Cedar, blackberry and geranium. To borrow HH’s phrase “effortless style”. Demonstrates why Coonawarra’s red dirt is marvellous for Cabernet. 96% Cabernet 4% Petit Verdot. The Tally is the top Cuvée from Balnaves. Rich, medium to full bodied. — 5 years ago

A lighter, fruitier cab. Tasting notes of vanilla, blackberry, and cherry. Really enjoyed this and paired very well with tri-tip. Absolute would buy again. — 6 years ago

Revisiting this burly beast almost a year later and it’s still as it was before: terrific. Impenetrable dark crimson with a little more bricking going on. Vanilla, lavender, a good bit of oak, and blueberries on the nose. At almost eleven years old, this doesn’t remind me so much of a standard Napa Can but rather a nice Bordeaux. The heat from the alcohol has definitely settled down and is presenting some wonderful balance. There’s still some fruit here with layers of blueberries, cherries, and cranberries. Tobacco, coffee, and leather on the palate. This is a wine that’s absolutely singing right now. All hail to Last Bottle. Just like I said a year ago, powerful, ripe fruit, and great structure. — 7 years ago

Overall tawny with a mid crimson core. Not as complex as I thought it would be for a 2003 BP Premium. Aromas of Forest floor, Mulch heap with earthy mushroom notes. BP Premiums usually good for 15 years but this faded a little at the end. A lovely wine nevertheless with a long persistence of flavour. — 9 years ago

Bond 2001 Cab. The color shows little age —a bright dark red crimson. Nose floats with dark black and red berries, wet earth cedar and sweet honey spices; a minty menthol lingers filling the senses with utter satisfaction. OMG! a very sensual experience in the mouth —full body flavors coat every corner of the tongue with raspberry and blackberry flavors. A minerally, pencil lead, caramel mocha sweetness follows ending with a grippy tannin long finish. Can definitely age another 10-15 years. What can I say, WOW! — 5 years ago

Tiny bubbles dancing on my tongue for a sweet treat! Tastes like grapes...concord like when you drank Welch's Sparkling Grape Juice as a kid. Slight tart cherry keep it from being too sweet. It's really just right :) — 7 years ago

Aging really well (as of May 2018). Smells a little hot and ripe, but mellower than expected fruit. Cherry and apple crisp, without too much jammy mouthfeel. A lot more finesse than expected. Like watching a linesman who can dance the tango. — 8 years ago

I admit, I have a milld obsession with Greer wines. Gorgeous crimson color. On the nose: flint and dark fruits. Extremely layered with a smooth texture and incredibly long finish. Dark berries galore, baking spice (cinnamon?) and trademark Rutherford dust. 3 hour decant. This is a baby. I try to keep my hands off them but they keep calling to me in the cellar 😂. Incredible now, but I think these will improve with a few more years in bottle. — 9 years ago

Vanilla and berry at first.. Velvet and smooth on the mouth. Then a bit of a bite at the end. Not overwhelming at all, so I wouldn't be afraid to pair it with lighter dishes or to sip solo. — 10 years ago
