Damp spice intermingled with 25 meter blueberry patch in a meadow-like clearing on an early morning run through a higher elevation forest with a slow flowing river view below and the hint of a hickory heavy fireplace way off in the distance encouraging the first blush front mouth touch of a distant vanilla mellowing the blue and black berry with its cherry finish that you will hope lingers, but, unfortunately, takes an ethereal plunge with only a single hand on rock before free falling the throaty cliff into oblivion. A bit of a frontside tease, but just enough backside attraction to encourage another hit, swig, gurgle and a sideways smile. Get some...
PS if you haven't done djon's, in Melbourne Beach, FL, then do! Piano dude singing some ballad Paul Mc, with ballerina, Beth, behind the bar, and their perfectly prurient snails offering themselves for a sacrificial lead to their Margaux drenched demise😎 — 10 years ago

Carbônica ao extremo! Um grau razoável de extração para meu gosto... Achei bem mais interessante o resultado com MC do que os demais carignan. No final peca um pouco pelo exagero mas é muito interessante! — 11 years ago

Phenomenal. Vibrant acidity, yet lush and rich. William's wines are definitely age worthy - there's really a lot of nuance and complexity developing. I'm very sad that this is the last of the 2010 we have. — 11 years ago

Delícia. Mix de cereja escura com framboesa, em um estilo glou glou sem o verde típico da MC. Sensacional! — 11 years ago

A pretty amazing northern Victorian cool climate Shiraz that does not have the normal price tag. Giaconda creates an interesting well priced wine with great fruit, balance and structure. — 12 years ago

Over achiever for sure... really cleaned up and exceeded expectations... reminded me of Selosse, MC, and even a little Larmandier... delivered on all points that counted. 2005. Sleeper. — 12 years ago

Fantastic. Drinking beautifully now but plenty of life left. I am sad I don't have more. Still has the great acidity I've come to expect from William's wines. — 11 years ago

Number 3 tonight of 3. Started with the 2004 Alter Ego from Palmer, followed by the 2012 Realm Farella, and now this wine. The Palmer was good, the Hartwell better, but the Realm was best. This Hartwell at 10 years old has a tremendous amount of life in it. Enjoyed with a brownie made by Liam and supervised by MC. How can cab and brownies be bad. Hey Becca thanks for the shoutout on Delectable, and follow me push. I assume I'm your first wine friend too. — 11 years ago

Not a Rockford sparkling Shiraz but very acceptable. A bit of age and about $45 per bottle (on special) — 12 years ago

2010 MC mandelgarten spat- love the style. Peachy and some pear. Shows that little bit of ocean spray that I dig. Love sacrificing these early but will definitely put a few away. — 13 years ago
