See previous notes from 28 July 2021. Barb thought raspberry, cherry also herbs and earth. Really enjoyed this and can see why it won the most prestigious Trophy on the Australian Show Circuit, the Jimmy Watson Trophy for the best one year old dry red at Royal Melbourne. Always difficult to source Jimmy Watson winners. This SGM Blend was the last of 2 bottles

Initial aromatics of blueberry , milk chocolate, cola and hint of thyme. Very savoury on the medium bodied palate. No new oak influence having been matured in old oak puncheons. A fascinating and finely detailed wine. A blend of 73% Shiraz, 24% Grenache, and 3% Mourvèdre and winner of Australia’s most sought after Wine Show award - The Jimmy Watson Trophy at Royal Melbourne where the wine sells out in days if not hours.
