Crikey! What a find. At $14.95 in Vintages this was a big flavour to dollar ratio.
A blend of Cab Sauv, Shiraz, Lagrein and Dolcetto (the latter 2 in small proportion) the first thing that this 14.5% abv brute hit me with was the smell of ketchup! Seriously, sweet and a little spicy, it was almost revolting (I hate ketchup) but wow, when sipped, a very nice, big, round wine with a spicy finish appeared and said, "G'Day". The big alcohol is masked by the jamminess. Its so jammy I think it would pair well with peanut butter and toast, which I would have tried tomorrow morning were the bottle not finished. Oh, I am almost off my face, so much so I may have to chuck a sickie tomorrow.
Get some, keep it on hand for a big end-of-the-nighter and your guests will think you are a tall poppie.
