After Fong Yuen. With Stanley. 2006/01/19

 Year  Wine  Price  Rating 
2004 Olivehill Clarendon Shiraz, McLaren Vale
Wanted to buy some more Taits, but thought I'd try this cheaper Australian Shiraz instead. If it's as good then I'd buy more of this. Despite the 92 Parker score (as posted by Wine Club), I think this is quite far from the Tait. Tannic and concentrated. But concentrated what? Black pepper and white pepper mainly. With orange peel and olive thrown in. It's very grenache like. Lack of excitement. - so - ws
