Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 - Black market Deal #42453
This is so much more than just cabernet. Literally. Our producers have thrown in a funky little mix of malbec and petit verdot in a very French style. Like t...www.vinomofo.com
This is the sort of thing you do not expect though based on the pricing structure and alleged cough cough quality exponentials. It is a
I might give it a go. They're neighbours with Moss Wood, so maybe a little of the terroir has rubbed off on them.
I wouldn't pay much attention to Vivino (I rarely do). However this particular wine on top of its recent 96 points from Halliday, has also received a massive 96 points from The Vintage Journal - Andrew Caillard MW and Angus Hughson gave this review - "Deep crimson. Fragrant and expressive with blackcurrant, mocha, roasted chestnut aromas with spicy notes. Supple and inky deep with lovely blackcurrant, mocha, espresso flavours, fine loose-knit grainy / touch al dente tannins, beautifully integrated new oak. Finishes firm with seductive dark fruits and some cedar complexity. Impressively balanced wine with very good density, definition and torque."
Actually decent or are all the awards marketing fluff?Taltarni "Best wine in the world" is back again
Shiraz 2018 – Black Market Deal #42187
You heard it here first, this is the best shiraz in the WORLD. Or at least that’s the award it has received from not just one award, but two. That’s some pre...
Decent. I have purchased previously. But definitely not best in the world.
Bit of both
I enjoyed it, but needs a bit more time in my opinion. Longer decant may suffice in the mean time.
The Gibson 2019 Reserve Shiraz just won a similar title in London recently and I am sure the Crouching Tiger Lou Miranda Golden Lion Reserve from the Barossa might have pulled a bit of regalia in its day. Hec if there's only four wines in a competition it's still a winner baby in someone's eyes. Back to the Lou if you excuse the expression, I notice the Fo has it. I think I bought a six pack five years ago and I cannot remember whether it was the loud audacious vibrant Golden Lion or the demure quiet Reserved one. BUT I thought it was absolutely stunning at the time. Not tempted here as I have to be strong till June but just saying sometimes all those medals count for something. Even if you a Roberts-Smith. Ben there done that. Surely the Taltarni is worth a stab. Ouch.
