From a tasting panel video, November 2012. In screwcap. Intense, silky, supple tannins and superbly balanced.

From a tasting panel video, November 2012. A lovely, maturing wine that was well received by all. Still with many years left on it.

Tasting panel video, April 2012. A good wine, perhaps drying out a bit but with some great food suggestions from the panel.

Good point Nick, although I believe that very few wine consumers (at least in Australia) care any more for Parkers opinion, at least not on Australian wine anyway. I believe most consumers have found other pastures for their wine opinion grazing.

Hey Mary.. Good topic.. (and nice blog btw).. Two hot topics down here are definitely screwcap vs cork... and good one Dexter.. 100 point scale vs 20 or whatever arbitrary figure you would care to use. Personally I have been toying with a three point system.. 1) Down the throat 2) Down the sink 3) Down the cellar

Tasting panel video, from reviews in April 2012. Initial response from the tasting panel was that it is an excellent wine that is probably just past its peak but will drink wonderfully for quite a few more years.

Tasting panel video, April 2012. An excellent wine from a very good vintage. Well received by everyone. [media=]

Tasting panel video, April 2012. Mixed response from the tasting panel but the majority opinion of this wine was that it is ageing nicely and a very pleasant drink.

Sure... lick a gun barrel after it has been fired and you will get the drift

Went along to the early bird tasting at Magill estate this morning. Very pleasantly suprised at the quality of this Grange from such a difficult vintage. Dark crimson. Nose tight and unyielding but eventually giving up some redcurrent and cherry. On the palate a lovely fruit sweetness, muscular and balanced with good acidity wound around a stiff backbone of gun barrel tannins.

Tasting panel video, April 2012. Initial response from the tasting panel of this wine was that it is not a long term cellaring prospect and in fact it will reach its peak over the next 7 - 10 years.

Just for a bit of fun. This is not real, just a wish list for these features on Wine Catalog & Inventory software, complete with spider & insect suppression modules.
