Which of these shiraz would you want to drink now?

Post by caper »

I am going to a aussie shiraz tasting in London on Saturday.
Not sure which wine to take.

Have the following

Mt Edelstone 92
Grant Burge Meshach 94
Grange 97
Yering station shiraz viognier 2002
Balmoral syrah 1997
Giaconda Warner vineyard 2003

Which of these will be drinking the best now?

Not sure but if I could choose which I would like to try then I would plump for the Meschach.

Having said that it probably would improve better than some of the others :)

id suggest the balmoral would be in most need of drinking, though the edelstone should be drinking well too

no rush with the rest id think though not too familiar with yering station

It is the Warner vineyard Giaconda.
The Yarra Yering 2002 was given 96 points by James Halliday but unsure whether too young.
Any more feedback appreciated.

Any chance of an invite, I would like to taste the lot!

Agree, both the Balmoral & Mt Edelstone, would be my preference.

Graham brought a couple of the 96 Balmoral to an offline here in Brisbane a while back and it was looking at or just past its peak. The 97 might be ready to go now. Graham?

97 is drinking nicely, wouldn't let it go much further. Had a 98 and 99 Mountain Blue last night, 98 off :cry: and 99 too young still :shock: . Michael, I look forward to another offline....preference?
Nothing is so effective in keeping one young and full of lust as a discriminating palate thoroughly satisfied at least once a day.
