$15 closeout & feels like theft! Inky massive, voluptuous wafting tons of dense black fruit, brooding, white pepper, game, bit feral, had a bit more nuance than many garden variety Shiraz. Very broad across the middle, generous ripe black fruit & pepper, decent balance, little clumsy & provincial, but definitely enjoyable. — 10 months ago
Fantastic stuff. Blue/plum fruit, a hint of menthol/eucalyptus, racy acidity, bright minerality, grippy tannins. If I’d not read the back label first I might have mistaken it for Shiraz. After 30min I got more of the chocolatey red currant notes of the Cab. The flavor profile of this is uniquely Aussie. Out of my #grassl1855 — 4 years ago
Absolutely amazing. So fresh at 14 years of age. Amazing vibrant steely acidity with crunchy mineral notes. The palate lasts forever! Wow! — 5 years ago

Seemed a little thin to begin with, but after some breathing time this really opened up. Savoury tail on this one. — 7 years ago
Not as tannic as some. Cool@climate Shiraz at its best. — 10 months ago
Looovely wine aged well and one of the best Shiraz’s I’ve had. Not too expensive either!… — 10 months ago
Awesome! Is this the best Foudre Ferment Rizza from Best’s to date? I think so. Impeccable balance and tremendous flavour intensity. — 2 years ago
Quite restrained on nose and palate. A slight touch of TDN amongst the white and yellow florals. The “young vines” were planted in 2000 and are no longer young as such. The Estate Riesling from this producer is one of the better Rieslings in Australia - from Henty on the Victorian south coast. A touch of sweetness with the mineral acidity. — 10 months ago
Good but feels like it could be better — a year ago

16.5/20 (90/100) Аромат вишневого варенья, бальзамика и ванили. Остаточный сахар отлично балансируется высоким уровнем кислотности. Приятное во вкусе. Занятное вино. — 5 years ago
Whoa, this one has some solid grip! Still has the pronounced acid and tannin of youth, with lots of primary dark fruit. Medium-full body. And did I mention that grip? Persistent...very persistent...tannins. But it’s pretty delicious, just needs even more time. Nice. — 6 years ago
Every now and then we open the good stuff... — 7 years ago
