TN: 2004 Marius Simpatico Shiraz
2004 Marius Simpatico Single Vineyard McLaren Vale Shiraz (screwcap): Dark to inky purple. Gorgeous fresh nose of black cherry/blackcurrant backed by malty oak with a little black pepper. Tart/slightly jammy entry followed by plummy fruit, earthy nuances and black olive mid-palate, finishing long & grainy with sweet cherry and a touch of nutty oak and liquorice. Great drinking and not a hair out of place - when's the 2005 out Roger?
Cheers,
Ian

Life's too short to drink white wine and red wine is better for you too! :-)

I might be old, but I ain't slow. 
Just filling in time until that annoying House starts - or I could just stick to Spicks and Specks then the Chaser's...

I don't suppose there's any chance they'll list another offer soon?

I had thought WineBoss was pretty well defunct, but they seem to have had a revamp. Quite a few people have tried that model (order via us, deliver from the winery) and none of them has lasted too long.
They do have a nice database of wineries though....

I've picked up a few of the various Marius wines around the traps and every bottle has been thoroughly enjoyable. Here's yet another small/tiny maker really doing great things.
If anyone hasn't tried Marius wines, do yourself a big favour and grab a bottle of two, they are a treat at very moderate prices.
Very much looking forward to the 2005 releases, the earlier release 2005 Shiraz Mataro is excellent by any standard.

I like them young, I like them old but most of all I like them bold
