Mount Langi Ghiran, Cliff Edge Shiraz, Grampians

This is singing along nicely. Only medium body Opens up rich and confected, but with aeration displays some more complexity, brambly blue & red fruits, some sweet baking spices with just a hint of Szechuan pepper , cool site in a warm year thing happening.

2016 vintage

Chocolate, cassis, pepper. Nice accidity, good balance. Drinking very well right now.

2019 vintage

Unctuous, cassis, dark spice on the nose. Eucalyptus, menthol, red and dark berry thick syrup nicely balanced acid and tannins... spicey, a little warmth but not obtrusive... just yum! Wish I had more!

2019 vintage

1001 Vins qu'il faut avoir bus. Une robe dense rubis avec une touche violet. Un nez de chocolat, des bleuets et du poivre. Une bouche puissante aux saveurs d'épices, de poivre, du chocolat. La finale est longue mais légèrement grossière. 14,5% bien senti. Provenant de différents lots du vignoble granitique de Mount Langi Ghiran dans le secteur de Grampians dans le Victoria.

2019 vintage

2 hour decant. nothing special.

2019 vintage

Black and red fruits, tobacco, tannins are soft. Drinking very well now, could cellar for another 5+ years. Great value shiraz

2010 vintage

Very impressive. Lovely fruit, plum and red berries, integrated wood, nice line if subtle acid and smooth tannins plus a dash of cool climate pepper. absolutely delicious. Went very well with a rare grilled rib eye steak. 93.

2016 vintage

Similar to past notes. Holding up well.

2019 vintage

This wine continues to develop in the bottle and yet at 7 years of age it is still in a primary stage of development. The greenness of early youth has softened, the fruit (dark berries, red berries and a splash of plum) has integrated with the wood and the tight line of subtle acid. Soft tannins resulting in a delicious wine, excellent body and length with hints of black pepper and dark chocolate. Makes you want to keep going back …

2016 vintage

Tasted blind at an Options night. Textbook cool climate Victorian Shiraz with slightly cordialled raspberry and freshening white pepper and fennel. Really over-delivers for its price point. Very fresh, so should have years to go, but it's gorgeous now so I'm not sure there's a benefit to waiting.

2010 vintage

Appearance: deep inky black core with deep dark red hues Nose: wow, my olfactory is getting the tingles. Notes of blackberries, plum, with some earth & spices. Palate: a after letting it decant for 30 min, my first sip have a smile... Rich flavours of blackberries, liquorice, the tannins are abundant without being too astringent or bitter. Earthy notes and subtle spices ensue. Finish is long and juicy. Very well balanced wine and great value! Highly recommend

2019 vintage

This is a dark, modestly fruit forward Shiraz with a plum nose and a quick finish. This is a "drink it if you have it but don't fall over yourself to get it" wine. Good news- I have a few more so I can comply!

2019 vintage

Elegant but full flavoured. A great cool climate shriraz that is drinking beautifully (suspect at its peak). Fully integrated tannins after a 2hr decant, the bouquet has dark fruits but isn’t huge. The pallate is big but not flabby (like some warm climate shirazes can be) with just a tad of restraint evident to deliver a truely enjoyable wine. Although I love my big warm climate shirazes with a good dose of French oak, I truely appreciate the delicate (but …

2010 vintage

Hold til June and try again.

2019 vintage

Deep red colour. Bought at a restaurant 4 days ago. Have been sampling it since. Ripe blackberry fruit nose. Standing up very well after 4 days. Fairly reserved on first opening. Rich, black cherry/blackberry fruit. Quite ripe. 2019 was a hot year for them and this shows it. Holding the ripeness well. Nice balance.

2019 vintage

Great color. No sediment. Did PnP. Very nicely balanced with good acidity. Very well done Aussie Shiraz.

2019 vintage

Cool climate Shiraz. Not heavy or brooding at all, good balance and acidity, not overly complex but lovely and precise nonetheless. Prefer this to many entry Level Shiraz bottlings costing 2x as much. Drank at cellar temperature (55-60).

2019 vintage

Wow, so under rated. Drink to 2008 changed as this is still drinking great in March 2021 because this was still so full of flavour and length amazing. Smooth balanced flavours. One of the best I’ve had in 12 months very good For an affordable wine, kept in a cellar, cork a bit crumbly so I recommend an Ah-so. Great wine

1999 vintage

Beautifully fragrant wine with lifted notes of violets, black cherries, stewed plums and white pepper. Tannins are integrated, soft and silken, almost pinot-esque. Seamless length and restrained weight. Harmonious balance. Beautiful wine in its prime

2010 vintage

sweet dark berries, med+ acidity, tree leaves. very new world. borderline fruit bomb.

2016 vintage

Very finely crafted, with intense aromas of plums and leather, and lovely punchy dark fruits supported by bitter dark chocolate, some sage and a very long black pepper and red fruit finish.

2016 vintage

Rond, velouté et satiné. C'est pas mal ça avec des fruits noirs et une finale longue et épicée!

2010 vintage

Very pleasant. Keeping well. Drank over 3 days.

2010 vintage

Yes

2010 vintage

Great round soft

2010 vintage

13.5%ABV Such great drinking for the price... Really should buy more of these..

2010 vintage

Closed when initially opened but opened up over an hour and a half. Cool climate fruit and pepper. Dark berries, nice acid and tannins, good wood treatment. Holding up very well and will develop further in the cellar. Perfect with grilled rib eye steak.

2010 vintage

Drinking really well now, with still years ahead of it. Black fruits, spice and longish medium body. Really good value for money.

2010 vintage

Excellent

1999 vintage

If only I'd known how good this was going to be I would have bought it by the case

2010 vintage

No formal notes on taste, other than a very approachable cool climate example.

2010 vintage

Crimson red, medium body, lots of white pepper, red fruits, esp ripe cherries, almost pinot like ..juicy and lingering on the finish. Very cool climate style but manages to balance ripeness, sweetness, oak and spice very well. Delicious and reasonable abv as well. This has improved since last tasting a year ago...drink now or hold. Yum factor plus here

2010 vintage

Light to medium bodied with hints of strawberries or even rhubarb. Spicy, peppery finish. Lovely food wine which has opened our eyes to Victorian Shiraz.

2010 vintage

Bottled under Stelvin and interestingly, labelled for export to the UK. A good dark red colour. Nose shows mint and aged wood, but not oak. An intriguing, almost musty, old wood. No pepper and certainly nothing green or vegetative. Decent length, lovely and smooth on the mid pallet. Juicy and delicious but not overcooked. Requires a little decanting to expose the nice minty, woody secondary characters. Well worth it though. Very good effort for the price.

2010 vintage

Competent well executed example of cool climate shiraz but possibly doesn't live up to the accolades it has received. Finish not quite right to my taste.

2010 vintage

Med purple colour Nose dominated by blackberries, black olives, raspberries, coffee, set amongst a minerally and slightly herbaceous background. Deep and concentrated sweet and savoury core of raspberries, blackberries, olives, sweet spices, dried herbs with well integrated vanilllin oak. Med plus body, long length, smooth tannins, med plus acidity. A fantastic cool climate Shiraz that is more Syrah-like with the savoury dark fruits. Great intensity and depth of flavour. Will buy some more to cellar.

2010 vintage

The Cliff Edge Shiraz has to be one of the most consistent labels i've tasted over the last few years, the wine punches well above it's price point and is my go to wine. The 2010 is a deep red in colour, it opens with a stalky plum laden nose with depth and savouriness that has a floral, almost pinot like elegance. A medium bodied palate with plum, a touch of blackberry and black pepper is supported by rounded oak, …

2010 vintage

Didn't like this as much as the 2009. Whereas that was complex, balanced cool climate 'shiraz', this has moved into 'syrah' country. Black pepper and herbs season more briary, wild blackberries. Lots of structure, but just not as enjoyable upon release than the previous vintage. Not bad all the same, just not great (yet.)

2010 vintage

Deeply coloured, intensely flavoured, blueberry essence and licorice. A junior version but still impressively packed with flavour.

2010 vintage

The Cliff Edge has a rich dark nose of roasted coffee and aniseed. It is a big dark wine with strong tannins balanced well against dark berry and mocha flavours. It’s savoury and dark profile are enticing in youth but patient cellaring of 5 or more years will benefit this wine, adding to its complexity while the tannins soften. 94points + At Dan Murphy's for $22.79 this is an absolute bargain!

2010 vintage

2012 Sydney Royal Wine Show - Trophy Wines lunch (Darling Harbour, Sydney) : Trophies – Best wine of Show, Best Red of Show, Best Shiraz {screwcap, 13.5%} Yet another anonymous semi-commercial offering that carries off all the silverware. I don’t know how the judges do it. A layer of youthful musk-like sweet aromatics overlay some blackcurrant fruit, but it really does remain quite confected. The palate is quite rich and sweetly-fruited, with gentle oak and a solid mid-palate, medium powdery …

2010 vintage

Bought this after enjoying the '02 Billi Billi. For the extra $5 or so a bottle, this was a fantastic bottle. Front end peppers, tannins and earth give way to a great back end blast of dry berries. Great on the nose, as well. I'd buy again in a heartbeat.
