Glaetzer Godolphin (as mentioned only two vintages) among Australia's best example of this blend!

Also for something different, the Gralyn Estate Shiraz/Cabernet blends, fast becoming a favourite of mine! from the Margaret River region.

Tried the 05 Godolphin and the Amon Ra last year, both excellent wines! I much preferred the Godolphin. I would say even better than the 04, a more complex wine, with great structure and balance. Trying to remember the tasting from back in Nov 06 (when I tried it), a beautiful very well balanced Shz...

Tried this wine on the weekend. The wine was shared with friends over a game of football. Two of my mates made very good comments about the wine, that it was sweet and caramel seem to be a dominant feature of the wine. After these comments were made I knuckled down with the brain and started analyzi...

A very good read, but STILL to much advertising ( I know, I know) a bit more honesty in the write up of wines, and this business of pairing up wines with luxury goods! you have got to be kidding me - remember it is grape juice for crying out loud! that have been published in past issues. I really en...

26 out of the 50 and 10 out of the 20!

Grant Burge winery! This little cour yard was a cracker! fond memories at GB!

bigkid Wild Duck Creek 2003 Springflat Shiraz - bought at auction - no fruit to speak of, sour and acidic, I suspect poor storage, heat perhaps. I had a bottle of the 03 Springflat and it was a sensational wine to say the least, dark brooding - black wine. The fruit on the nose was awesome, tannins ...

W.A ?????

IF (and I mean IF) you can find any the 2001 Petaluma Merlot, around the $40 - $45 price range though! (Winestar have some!) 96 points from Oliver. An excellent Merlot!

I can now say that I have tried all of the 04 Glaetzer wines (except for the Glaetzer 04 Shiraz) ALL wines from the Wallace the the Amon Ra, exceptional and all good value for money. The stand out for me was the Amon Ra - a beautiful wine now to my last dozen! All wines a beautifuly structured and e...

GOT MY COPY YESTERDAY - ha haaaaaa

The PWG is a great read each year and look forward to it's release. I have all of the books except for the very first edition (believe it or not I managed to find two copies of the wine guide in a seconds store in Port Hedland last year) so am on the hunt for it. I don't like the current new format ...

I placed an order for everything on the list. As they say less is more, so don't be greedy and order the max of everything a few bottles here and there!, The stand outs for me are the Shiraz, the Shiraz Mataro. I have not tired the 04 release but expect it to be a corker of a vintage.

my pleasure! I think that I purchased the 02 HP BBM - it was last year anyway. Like I said it was expensive, but a good Merlot, I would not have purchased it! I know when I have tasted a good Merlot. The 01 Petaluma Merlot excellent and a good drop, the Grant Burge another good one! also the 01 Cull...

Oh and I forgot to one other very good merlot - Howard Park Best Barrels Merlot. Very rich very full bodied. I cannot understand why oh why, people are bagging this wine - it is a very good wine a very good merlot. Is it expensive, probably, Is it good wine - hell yes, I bought a couple of bottles l...

some other Merlots to consider are the
2001 Petaluma Merlot - if you can find it!
Grant Burge Mimba (I think!) - generally a good all rounder
