Made for Fo nonwithstanding, the Powell & Sons The Blend 2020 was well received here if I recall. Has anyone tried the 2021 that's now on offer?

Or the 2021 Riverside GMS? I bought into a previous vintage of that and it was great quaffer.

I thought it was excellent, particularly at the price point. But that is beside the point of the RRP pulled out of Fo … where the sun doesn’t shine.

Got my Sharktooth delivered today and couldn’t wait to open it. Not a typical Shiraz, maybe that’s McLaren Vale vs Barossa. Very spicy straight out of the bottle, tobacco, licorice, blackberries. Complexity in spades, easily the best $15 wine I’ve had in a long time!

Pity it’s all sold out now :-(

 

[olympicwiz]

Agreed. I haven’t had 2016s but had my 2015 Sharktooth and thought it was pretty good. It’s a shame that Steve Serafino Maglieri is calling it a day.

I see vinomofo have the Rall Red 2020 - I got the white earlier in the year and very impressed. Has anyone tried the red and could advise if worth the $45 price tag?

Rall Red 2020 - Red Wine

Winemaker Donovan Rall has been making some of the best wines in South Africa, year after year. Such is the cult following, that we had to do some serious sweet-talking to get our hands on our allocations.

Probably depends on your tolerance for green pepper. I found it quite smooth and just about full bodied but while I do find some appeal in green pepper notes, this was a bit overwhelming. Like you, I really enjoyed the whites and bought the red on that basis but I wouldn't buy the red again. I should add that this was for the 2019 red.

Thanks for opinion - will hold on this and jump on some more Rall white instead that they also have

2018 Copper Block Shiraz — Greenstone Vineyards

Thanks for the links, I thought the Emerald Vine 2015 I got 2 years ago was a bit weak too.

Has anyone tried the Ulithorne Paternus 2020 Shiraz? I was a big fan of the 2018 and was wondering whether the 2020 vintage stacks up. Thanking you in advance.

 

[Whining&dining]

Haven't tried the Paternus but on another note just about to send back a dozen of the 2021 Z wines Hedley Shiraz (which in fact was a return credit for another recent purchase) and curious to hear other punters take on it. There was a bit of action on the nose which augured well but very little happening on the palate, bland and insipid spring to mind...

I got a six of Z wine plowman shiraz a while ago. Beautiful bottles and rrp over $100. Was pretty bad. Sweet and insipid yep. Wasn't brave enough to return.

I know there’s a lot of variability from winery to winery, but Langtons have a pretty good vintage chart on their websites with ratings across all the significant Australian regions per year:

https://www.langtons.com.au/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-langtonsSharedLibrary/default/v44cf7d651692f0843e8e852ab74376b1c7cb7468/PDFs/LANGTONS_Vintage_Chart_2023.pdf

That would be a good place to start if you’re thinking about a more recent vintage of a wine.
