Maybe if I let it breathe for a few hours it would have calmed down a bit and been something to enjoy. It was just way too alcoholic...I understand that shiraz and zin usually have a higher alcohol percentage, but I do not like when it tastes as if I am drinking a bottle of whiskey.HopefulPessimisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490756007863685608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9997088.post-1164217232322326602006-11-22T12:40:00.000-05:002006-11-22T12:40:00.000-05:00Good day,I see that this reserve 2003 can stay a l...Good day,<BR/><BR/>I see that this reserve 2003 can stay a little longer in cave.

Their Riesling is also excellent - one of the best South Australian Rieslings I've come across. <BR/><BR/>Keep an eye on the label for the Wolf Blass. I found the Yellow Label Shiraz a little too dry for my liking, but the Red/Black/Platinum label are all excellent (the last two though will hit you in the wallet). Their Shiraz-Cabernet blends are excellent too.<BR/><BR/>BTW, are you based in the US?Salilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024757873081383487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9997088.post-1152060619646976672006-07-04T20:50:00.000-04:002006-07-04T20:50:00.000-04:00I too thought the Wine Spectator rating was a bit ...I too thought the Wine Spectator rating was a bit inflated; I would give this wine an 88 maybe an 89 but to break the 90 barrier, it has to be something really special. <BR/><BR/>Use the search engine within the blog to find our reviews of the Peter Lehmann Shiraz. Haven't had the Wolf Blass but since you like it, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip and raise a glass!

I was quite surprised by that high rating, because I've tasted what in my opinion was far superior Shiraz both from South Australia and New South Wales. <BR/><BR/>Have you tried any of the other Aussie ones - particularly some of the Wolf Blass President's, Black or Platinum labels - or those from Tempus Two and Peter Lehmann's?Salilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024757873081383487noreply@blogger.com
