Rare to see mature Coonawarra wine released; this is 2004 current (AUD 75); deliberately blended best six hogsheads of the regions three prime grapes, cabernet, shiraz, merlot in that order; this brand does not make white; red soil-red wine status; smells and tasted mature; earth, mocca, meaty, minty, palate curranty yet bonox with age, nice powdery dry tannins; #bravo #coonawarra #redman #topred — 11 years ago
A pleasant surprise with lots of character. Highly recommended. A sea change from my last experience w Clos Du Val. #bravo — 11 years ago
#lapaulee Founder @Daniel Johnnes shares on a wine near & dear to his heart:
"By deciding to buy land and make wine in the Mâcconais, Dominque Lafon has made a strong statement not only about the quality of the wines but also his belief in bringing high-quality, great-value wine to the table. Dominique believes wines like these should be enjoyed with friends and not remain in collectors' cellars, auction catalogs or reserved only for special occasions." — 11 years ago
