Wickmans Video Tasting Notes

[Wickmans]

Under vendors instructions, I put out a call on Twitter and facebook last week for help tasting through some wine they wished to have evaluated from the cellar for sale in the next auction.

A few people threw themselves into the fray and popped around to try out some wines and help me iron out bugs in my video making processes:

This one is the extremely edited version (1 minute) of the 2008 Rockford Basket Press Shiraz from the Barossa, South Australia.

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.

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.

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.

"...gun barrel tannins."

wtfits?

My nose is tight too. But its allergies.

"...gun barrel tannins."

wtfits?

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

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

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.

I wonder how well it goes with Cigars. Seems right for a braised beef dish if you ask me. I would definitely upload it to my "Keeper wine's" category on my Memorandom.. Great review guys!

[Bill Sweat]

I would have to agree with this review the wine will be fantasitic for a few more years.

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

A lovely, maturing wine that was well received by all. Still with many years left on it.

In screwcap. Intense, silky, supple tannins and superbly balanced.
