Nice drop, I got the feeling it would be much nicer in a year or three.

Probably, but why wait, I have a short attention span.
That would be the metho

Your probably right, I should age the metho and try it in a couple of years.

I had a think about this over the past few days. try and get a bottle of Emigre shiraz from Pettavel 2001 i think maybe 02 but pre viogner, and in ten years i bet you it will blow almost anything australian away.
Not a bad price might have check it out
Used to a fan of Ben's work but after the ealry success of the Amon Ra he's gone over the top, tried a bishop about 18 months ago big bold oaky and disjointed may change in the future

Zig, you'd do well to look at the Bishops again, the last 3 vintages have been crackers. Typical Barossa Shiraz from tightly pruned, dry grown, old vines. Plenty of plunging in open fermenters and a good sized lick of new American oak. The 06 is Plum & blackberry, licorice, black pepper & vanilla, some fresh cedary wood & fine grained tannins. Great stuff.
The Emigre is made in both Shiraz & Shiraz Viogner and whilst the last one I had (2005) will live 10 years (2015) I think it'll be well past its best IN 10 years (2019).
Adlo, I dropped in to Nicks on my way home Friday and tried the SJ Sparkling Shiraz, cracker jack and super well priced. I haven't pulled a cork yet so I still don't know the producer.
Never heard of Broken River zig but sounds like they're worth a look if they're anywhere near the black shiraz for $25.00.
Found them already. Kialla Vic. $18 for the mouvedre, $12 a case delivery to Melbourne. I'll treat myself.
Order arrived from Nicks.... decisions, decisions.
Hey Zig, did you see my post re: Nicks getting some 06 Cimicky in?

Zig/Andigold,
What is the lowdown on the sparkling shiraz? I have read that is should be cool but not cold. Should I just pop it into the fridge for a little bit before serving?

Cheers Just. Keen to try this one I picked up. Never tried one before.

Aldo, I never responded to your wine survey as I don't drink much wine. My strategy is to find something I like (Cab/Sav/Merlot preferred) that is on sale. The most expensive bottle at the best price is usually the go.
That being said, the wife brought home a 2007 Jamiesons Run Merlot last week and it was beautiful.
I will look for that one in the future.
you can drink it both ways if it's hot chill, if its cold drink it straight the cellar/laundry cupboard.
No didn't read the post re 06 cimicky, but might be getting my hands on some 07 soonish
trying the 07 St Hallet Blackwell shiraz tonight, not bad, big style real tongue stainer
Went through the local drive thru tonight and decided to go for a lucky dip. Asked the guy for a bottle of shiraz for around $15. Ended up with 05 Mt Monster Shiraz from the Limestone Coast. Very easy to drink which for me doesn't really make it a Shiraz. Far too fruity, not enough of the peppery sort of taste I'm used to from a good Shiraz. Give it a miss
11 Bux 07 Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz not bad at all nothing fancy or real complex but nice.
04 Peter Lehmann Eight Songs Shiraz, cracker! a real table lifter!!!
Champange - Which is a good brand verus value etc
Munns ?
Arras (Tassie) ?
Louis Roederer ?
