A 2005 Hardy's South Australian Shiraz, very fruity, but, lacks tanin and any form of farewell, very gassy too, shocking at £8.00 a bottle.
Followed by a Hardy's 2006 Cabernet Shiraz, this is absolutly exellent, fruity, full bodied red with astringent tanic finish, at a mere £5.00. Shock and awe, I think I'll stick to the Beaverdale Barolo

very gassy...almost saturated with CO2 (im thinking they are injecting CO2 to give it a fruit lift) however the CO2 is balancing well with the sweetness, a very nice effort, from Morrisons "something special" line
most enjoyable
flinty character (as you would epect from the Mosel) but a real richness and mouthfeel.

Just opened the second bottle of the Zinfandel/Petite Sirah blend from last year. Only a year old, but drinking very well for being so young. Juicy and jammy flavors, with a nice bit of spiciness. This was the first wine I put in my American oak barrel and will admit that when I bottled it, thought the oak was a little heavy, but it turned out to be just the right amount.

I need to make a big batch of this next year.
I like the sound of that wine.

Had a bottle of my kenridge Amarone last night. It's 1 year old now, Mostly bottle aged. Very nice but I wish I'd left it in a carboy on the oak cubes it came with a little longer It has an oaky taste but it's very faint.
