2004 Grant Burge Barossa Vines Shiraz
Price: $7.52 @ BevMo imported by Wilson Daniels (retails at $14.99 a bottle)
What They Said:
Per Wine Spectator “Ripe in flavor, but not too hearty, achieving a nice balance of focused plum and berry fruit against fine tannins and not too much alcohol. Drink now through 2009. 7,500 cases imported.” - Harvey Steiman, May 01, 2006 (87 point, $14)
What I Think:
Another from the 5c sale. After having a few of their wines recently while down under I was hoping for a bit more. Wine Spectator gave the 2002 vintage a 90-94 point score but I don’t see this as anywhere near that. I would certainly disagree with the assessment of explosive. This is a ho-hum effort. Drinkable but not memorable, thank goodness I didn’t pay full price. Will try it again with the 2nd bottle soon.
