Hi wine lovers. Pretty sure this one is Quattro Mano La Morada Touriga Nacional 2010. Currently $152.25/6 pack at Dan Murphys, and $25.90/bottle ($310.80/12) at Cracka Wines. Described as 'top Aussie red' by Huon Hooke in Cellar Talk, SMH. 94 score seems to be from Dan Murphys Wine Panel. 13% alcohol. 53% Touriga Nacional, 30% Tinta Amarela, 17% Tinta Cao (Portuguese grape varieties). Review from ISSUU, http://issuu.com/provincialpressgroup/docs/wineviticulturejo…. 'Deep ruby in colour with a pink, watery rim. Highly intense nose featuring pretty florals, bergamot, sweet red fruits, blackberries, and a hint of game and forest fruits. Earthy, savoury style palate, which is very European in structure. Creamy red berry drive in the mouth. A balanced wine with good length, and velvet coating tannins.' Great with tapas.
Another Black Market Grenache Shiraz on offer for $7.20/bottle (now identified as Tapestry Grenache Shiraz thanks to Abrand44 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/155383). Some other promising buys such as the Mount Trio Shiraz 2010 (93 points Halliday) for $9.90. Also, the Six Foot Six Pinot Noir still going for $90/12 pack - such great value! - using husseys link, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/150271.
As usual, if you're new to Vinomofo, use the referral links below to get $25 off your spend.
The 'leading Critic' must be the rambling, verbose 'Drinkster' as Halliday gave it 90 and Huon Hooke gave it 88 points. Halliday says drink by 2013 Ouch!
If you like this style, try El Macho Torro from Aldi. At $5 it's a steal. Plus you don't need to buy a dozen (and finish them before the end of 2013 LOL.) Recommended by Campbell Mattinson (Halliday's new understudy.)
