Did not expect that Victoria and I would dig on the same wine...wow this was good — 7 years ago
Interesting. Ever so slightly a touch sweeter than the typical dry steely mouth watering Australian Riesling’s such as those of Clare valley. Actually almost picked it as a Fiano or Vermantino. Very enjoyable. — 7 years ago
Herbs and bitter almonds flavours. Lovely Chardonnay at One Ford Street. — 7 years ago
High intensity on the nose. On the palate,it displays a strong,fruity character,rich in cherry and plum. Low tannin and low to medium acidity. — 8 years ago
Absolutely so smooth from the first sip. Left bottle open for a couple days after first glass and was divine. No harshness even after first open, slightly sweet with a bit of dryness. Overall fantastic taste. — 9 years ago

Shared with us by Victoria and Shawn a savory Malbec, not too sweet and has a gentle bitter finish. — 7 years ago
Exceptional quality with lovely citrus, peach and apple aromas, plenty of minerality and a silky, rich texture. Lovely acidity - it's a great version of the classic Rhône white blend and the bit of extra bottle age helps. Excellent with food — 7 years ago
Super easy drinking just by itself. Not too heavy or punchy — 8 years ago
This Australian Cab is a full varietal wine from Victoria’s Goulburn Valley. The wine aged between six and 12 months in French oak barriques, with alcohol sitting at 14.5% abv.
The wine is extremely dark, black, with no light coming through it. The nose offers blackberry fruit aromas and earthy minerals, with a slight eucalyptus note coming through behind it all. The palate has a minty sense as well, but that dark fruit and extreme earthness steal the show. The herbal aspect rises again on the finish to cap a delightfully different Cab experience. — 8 years ago

Probably the WOTN for me as I didn’t subscribe to the Exceptional category this time. This is in the Outstanding category. From ancient pre phylloxera Shiraz vines dating back to 1860. Medium bodied with incredible intensity and length. Marvellous. — 7 years ago
Sweet and mild. Goes well with meat. — 7 years ago
I'm loving Victorian shiraz these days! Medium bodied, earthy and really well balanced! Mouthfeel is terrific, so much more interesting than your typical Barossa/McLaren vale shiraz.
But also not too challenging.
Great value. — 8 years ago

Don’t know how this one escaped my attention for so long, but I get why it’s so well loved. Ridiculous QPR. At the risk of both revealing my ignorance and offending everyone, I reckon this is the drink Stanley Dry White cask (a seminal drop in my existence, and fellow Australian cheapo icon) aspires to be. Whistle-clean citrusy drinker with intensity right round the edges. Cellaring a few of these from now on. — 5 years ago
