Rosemount Estate 2002 ShirazAn intense, yet not overpowering red from the Rosemount Estate. Comprising of ripe fruit (particularly plum) and strong spice flavours interwoven, this wine has a fantastic earthy quality to it. With it’s velvety smooth texture and a savoury complexity that lingers on the palate, this is a wine that will only get better with good cellaring.

Currently at Dan Murphy’s for only $20, this is an exceptional wine for the price, drinking well now or a good investment for any cellar.

Would i buy this wine again? Without a shadow of a doubt! I feel the need to invest in a case…

I know, I know… this isn’t strictly a “wine” (quote marks) and thus shouldn’t be appearing on this “wine blog” (also quote marks) - but I’ll tell you what; it is bloody delicious.

The way this fine bourbon hits the palette… well its like nothing else. Drink it on ice, with a wee bit of coke (or pepsi as I am doing right now!), or with a whole lotta coke. Either way its delicious. Nectar from the gods is the best way I can describe it. This is definitely a drink now kind of drink, indeed I am!

Right now it is slithering over my palette like a delicious alcohol-infused snake, then proceeding down into my belly where it will stay and make me feel all warm and fuzzy for a generous period of time.

So yes, the morale of the story is that if this was a wine, it’d be a great one and would appear on this wine blog.

Would I buy this wine again? You know damn right!
