Mikey Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 I just got a message offering a four pack of this winerys "good stuff"(Shiraz,Grenache).A bit expensive ($149.00) ,but they are rated very highly in several publications.Is anyone familiar with these guys from Oz? Ken?
billyburg Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 I got info from Hi-Time cellars on the 4 pack. It says Parker rated them between 90-94. Parkers ratings are pretty dependable. I'm considering. Info from some locals would be nice.
billyburg Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 You are correct. He doesn't give out 98's easily. I'd like to get 2 4 packs so I could see how it evolves after 5 years then 7- 10 years.

billyburg Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 I had to order. Hi Times wine store won't commit to my order until they verify actual stock on hand. Got the email at 1:30 and just called at 4:15!
skid11 Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 Have'nt tried them myself Mikey but this Clare valley wine won't dissapoint. Always gets solid reviews. These reds from the Clare would need a little bottle aging to bring out the best say drinking around 2015......... Check out this site [link]http://www.kilikanoon.com.au[/link] Nice with a Monte 2 ...................... from the czar of course.;-)
billyburg Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 gotta a call that i got a 4-pack! Too bad they wouldn't let me have 2.

billyburg Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 I'd appreciate any info Ken. I know it will be years before these will be approachable but hopfully it will worth the wait.
Mikey Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 Thanks for the help,but it looks like they didn't get my order on time.I thought I got it in fairly quickly,but I got shut out....it's gone. Anyone have any recommendations that I might be able to find with a little more ease?
