Pirramimma Katunga Gts 2007, Mclaren Vale, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$24.95
2016+2017 (18 latest)
April 2016...still not enjoying this style of wine much anymore, too alcholic (14.5) and sweet (typical Aussie). First glass ok but got tired of it with 2cd. Ok to gift remaining bottle.
?? Think I may have had the second bottle in 2017/18 and pretty sure I enjoyed it more than the first, perhaps had mellowed further.

-can't remember 1st one ( likely 2017)

December 2021....worried I might be late with this one but it was fine. Possibly past its peak, missing some freshness perhaps, but smooth and satisfying all the same. Had with cabbage rolls, went well. This wine is surely in my 'favorites' column, consistently good year after year.

Love this wine, confident others will enjoy as well. Can drink with almost any food but love it best with Mediterranean cuisine, especially chicken. Smooth, flavourful, inviting.
