MNSC dinner - Aussies

MNSC dinner. Theme was Parker's Aussie favorites.

1997 Greenock Creek Seven Acre Shiraz - this was pretty good and fruity.

1999 Rusden Zinfandel Lodestone - this was the only Aussie zin as far as we know, and it was very good! Very jammy and sweet, with caramel and toffee nose. Wow! Very interested. I think everyone was pleasantly surprised.

1994 Clarendon Hills Astralis - this was a bit closed and not as good as expected.

1995 Clarendon Hills Astralis - this was pretty good, probably the best out of the three vintages, but it was a bit tannic.

1996 Clarendon Hills Astralis - this also outperformed the '94.

Bought from Oaks for SGD 168.
