He says: A disappointingly unbalanced wine that looks good, smells nice, but tastes like shit. She says: It’s not how you start but how you finish that counts… 
For every Yellow Tail or Hardy’s, there are a multitude of stories to be told about premium Australian labels that have upheld traditional winemaking ideals with the goal of delivering boutique, terroir-driven wines. 
He says: Nothing too outstanding, but at the same time, nothing too offensive. She says: At $20, this is an any-night-of-the-week bottle. 
He says: This bottle has little of the elegance we found in their cheaper designation, the fruit sweet and syrupy, and the pepper hidden until the finish. She says: A solid wine but I can’t help but wonder if the ‘Forgotten Hills’ would have fared better. 
He says: Thoroughly enjoyable, and a wine I will definitely buy again. She says: Elegant & complex but with some lovely, fine tannins to give it structure and a little ‘oomph’. 
He says: It’s a decent wine, but probably not the best Tempranillo I’ve ever tried. She says: It was enjoyable but it did not blow me away as other aged Rioja’s have done in the past. |
