Cheers, Ian
I certainly won't buy any of the 97. There was some suggestion that the 97 aroma/flavour profile was reminiscent of some old-style Hunter reds, so maybe the Sydneysiders will lap it up.
Cheers Brian Life's too short to drink white wine and red wine is better for you too! :-)

** For everyone's information, this wine is available under Stelvin, in limited quantities, from the winery.
I very rarely drink rose but based on the appeal of Teusner's Joshua 05, bought a few Salsa 07. This is a serious rose that has great depth of flavour and a nice long finish.
