Opened this on a night at the end of the term where we had nothing to do and plenty of time to relax. I'd heard bad things about this wine, someone had said to me;
"The Cabernets?, nah its got nothing on the Gold Label Shiraz"
I decided the time was neigh to try it and see what all the fuss was about. And boy were they wrong. (unless the shiraz is amazing)
Opened it up and decanted it to open the flavours up. It smelt great with smooth vanilla, boysenberry and a hint of aniseed.
It tasted really good, nice and silky like a berry sponge that had spent the night in the fridge with some hints of chocolate without being sweet. Finished with a slight dryness but not overly so.
It was a perfect wine for the night, great for relaxing on a cold night on the couch.
Now all I need to do is get some more to put away for a year or two.
