Very well balanced. Not too sweet. Don't usually care too much for Gwertz. This is my fave so far. — 8 years ago
A little on the sweet side overall a good tasting wine. — 10 years ago
Could use 20+ years in the cellar, but incredibly enjoyed on its potential alone. Classic, structured, a giant of a wine. — 10 years ago

Nose of peppercorns savoury spices and minerals Medium weight with plummy minerality coming through on the palate. Hawkes Bay NZ Syrah has always been a favourite of mine starting with Te Mata's Bull Nose Syrah 10 years ago. This Salo is made by leading Aussie winemaker Steve Flamsteed of Giant Steps in the Yarra Valley Tasted again 36 weeks later. Lacked a little mid palate fruit when compared to the Mt Langhi Cliff Edge which was a similar cool climate peppery Shiraz. I preferred the Langhi. — 8 years ago

We are huge fans of this vintage and huge fans of this glorious #wine--but be patient--it's a sleeping giant that needs at least another 3 years bottle age plus decanting! #GermanWineSociety — 11 years ago
Really enjoying this Gentle Giant from Haut Espoir...in a giant glass of course! #wine140 — 11 years ago

Delicious and crisp wine, with slight berry note, but still quite dry and smooth. Great feature at total wine in VA — 8 years ago
Almost 2 yrs ago I wrote: "Half way through a case and the romance deepens. Giant scorched earth and oiled leather nose. Epic battle of extracted dark-red fruit sweetness and a light juicy acidity. All in a smooth-as-silk package. Ageing so gracefully, 10+ years from peaking." After last night I'll add: probably peaked after 2 hr decant, no need to wait but this has the tannins and pure extracted fruit to take it at least 10 more years. — 9 years ago
Red berry with lots of tannin. This inexpensive label produces dependably good quality wine. — 9 years ago
Love this innocent bystander Shiraz.. Easy to drink... An all time favourite — 10 years ago

Very light yellow in color.
Beautiful nose of tropical fruits, strawberry, mango, coconut and citrus.
Smooth and semi sweet on the palate with oranges, strawberries, lemons, peaches and minerals.
Long finish with sweet mangoes.
Nice and relaxing when chilled.
