A 10+ year old under screwcap, still as fresh as many a 2013.... Grenache dominates, spice and sweet berries. Refreshing acidity suggests this is still good for a few years, and totally belies the posted 15% abv. Sad that i picked up only one...

Had alongside the 2012 enchanted path, and honestly this nice aged Australian gsm held its own. Purchased for ten dollars, this is still a hell of a wine. While of course very distinctively Grenache centric as opposed to the mollydookers lush blend of cab and Shiraz, this was equally well balanced, and went down very smoothly indeed. Worth every penny, wish I had more than I do left!

LOVE this bottle (especially for the price). Mild slate-like earthiness and heft dark red fruit notes (ripe bing cherry, red plum, not too heavy on berry notes).

Very consistent with previous note. Maybe it turns into a Aussie bomb after a day, but who cares. Thanks ES

Wonderful tar-ish, mushroom funk on the nose. Tasty, tasty black fruit that hits the front finishing with nice acid/tannic grip and a twinge of iron. I stole this bottle, regardless it's going 92 tonight.

Earth, black fruit and a great tannic grip on the end. The balance was impressive. The 15% alcohol was not evident. Not a typical Aussie bomb. Leaned almost Old World with it's earthiness. Impressive wine, especially for what I paid for it. 90 - 91

Tasted blind. A strong bouquet with New World markers, had it for WA, others had it for Spain. The taste profile caused me to lean toward Spain, but those darned New World aromatics stuck with me. Australia was not on my mind...but it should have been. This is big and flamboyant, with kicking grip at the back. Interesting and tasty. 89-90.

Good Oz GSM. Full of ripe fruit but nice balanced tannins and long long finish. Bottle faded fairly quickly which was a disappointment.

Rather disappointedthe winenhas a host of good CT reviewsmandna 90 WSnscore but I found it to be little more than a typical australian fruit bomb. Not undrinkable but nothing more than OK.

I couldn't believe it when I tried it, a GSM with a great beginning and beautiful finish. Upon touching the lips, it started with a promise of a wollop, which when it came, I knew I had to have more. The finish is better with a little balance in the mouth to offset the high alcohol content (15%). Heading back to the shop tomorrow to try and get some more.

The Yangarra was really focused. It opened with a blast of herbaciousness and melted into a tasty blend of cherry and fig flavor notes. It is a juicy wine with medium body and a deep red color. It was a great wine to savor on a moonlit evening – not too aggressive and with smoothness to show what makes Australian wines so appealing

Acidic upon opening. Not a particular big wine for a GSM blend but fairly well balanced although lacking the depth necessary for a higher rating

Twist and pour ... Really impressed with how well this is drinking right now. A great balance between rich and tart, fruit and spice. Very smooth with a great nose.

Twist and pour ... Big and juicy but not at all heavy. Deep ruby color, good tannic backbone and fresh berry fruit notes with a medium finish. Smooth, easy to drink and very food friendly (not overpowering). Not your typical Aussie blend.

Decanted about 2 hours ... Rich and very smooth; fruity but not too over the top and not all hot (unlike many Aussie Shiraz blends). Medium bodied and very easy to drink.
