Yes you guessed it. Seldom do I go out of my way to talk about a specific wine or do a review. But my god, this thing will blow the bloody doors off, in a bad way.

This organic wine I bought from Dan Murphys about 8 months ago and I can only assume it hasn’t got better with age. It’s 15% alc content couldn’t be more transparent. Yes I like my wine with fortititude, but why they went Mataro (Mourvedre), Shiraz and Grenache instead of the far better appelation Grenache, Shiraz Mourvedre I have no idea. The Mataro bites your head off, making you cough and splutter with every drop.

I had a look in the 2006 James Halliday wine guide to see what he thinks of it, but it wasn’t among the 10 or so varieties he’d reviewed.  Avoid it at all costs unless you are a Courtney Love and enjoy drinking Evian and battery acid.
