I struggle with Boxler. Tried them a few years ago, when I didn’t really understand Alsace, and couldn’t quite square the price point. Not much has changed, unfortunately. Lacks acid, depth. — 6 years ago

Deep ruby red. A fuller style for a cool climate Adelaide Hills Shiraz. Spicy and savoury with red fruits and oaky notes. Quite substantial tannins. Very early in its drinking window. Needs time to develop some complexity - a little square sided at the moment. Next in 2 to 3 years. Ended up taking a bottle to sister Helen’s place in Gloucestershire. Tasted with consistent notes - the oak seemed better balanced on this occasion. On 24th July 2019. — 7 years ago

I bought a dozen of this wine 20 years ago and this is the 10th. Still monolithic and a bit square sided at 22 years of age. Full bodied showing black currant and herbal notes. Silky tannins but finishing a little green - showing over extraction? Next one in a few years but can’t see it changing much. As a general comment I feel that Penfolds jacking the price of 707 currently to around $550 is excessive but good luck to them for selling at this price and bringing closer to the price of Grange. Good news for TWE Shareholders! — 8 years ago

Bright raspberry notes to start, finished smooth and tasteful. Everything you love from a central coast Californian wine. Love the different bottle, helps it stand out. Absolutely amazing for the price. — 6 years ago

This is a nice glass of wine by the fountain in the square while devouring my steak. Not overpowering, but a great, dry, charcoaly peppery finish with the red fruit almost in the background. Simplish in that the peppery note may be its only note. But it's a good note! — 7 years ago

Nose of alcohol and earthiness. Taste out of the bottle was lots of fruit forward but opened up to lots of leather and pepper. Mainly a powerful earthy and oak wine. — 8 years ago

Drank 3/5/19. Paired well with shrimp.

My go to every night chardonnay. Right now at around $11, an excellent buy. I enjoyed this vintage perhaps a touch less than others, but overall a great wine and an outstanding value.

Nose of light tropical fruits, a touch of citrus and butterscotch. Palate medium + body with pear, lemon curd, buttery notes, and a hint of oak. A nice balance for those who enjoy a bit of oak in their Chardonnay.

Smooth from start to finish, full silky flavor with soft, sweet nose, very balanced. Not sure if it's worth the $24 price... — 10 years ago
