excellent
By whiner51, May 16, 2001
This was an excellent wine. Of the wines I've had, it tasted most similar to D'Arenberg "The Dead Arm" Shiraz, which is a bit more expensive in America. Deep, dark, fruit. Thick, textured, layered, almost viscous, fluid. Still, this was a very good bottle for the $50 I paid, but is not unusually good for its high retail price. It is not worth the twice-retail price it can get at auction. Along with a few other wines I've mentioned, this wine occupies a class somewhere in between 4 and 5 stars.
