  Mrs Ozzie and I were at a family's Xmas party this evening and one of the guests brought along a special label wine. Not only that, it was a 1.5 litre bottle. Now that's a special bottle!!

  It was a Merivale 1992 Cabernet Shiraz. You beauty! I thought, and we weren't disappointed. It comes from the McLaren Vale region of South Australia.

  

  Mrs Ozzie was quite ecstatic. "So smooth and mellow", she opined. And just the right amount of tannin in the glass, as well as the sides of the bottle.

  Oh, this is Christmas! I like it!

  Cheers, Ozzie

  lol.. wine is so unpredictable and people can be so fussy that it is great when it all comes together in a perfect glass. I guess you really have to like wine to understand how some people can get so excited over finding a bottle they really like.

  It is hard to let bottles age that much when you want to drink them :) Unfortunately, I've discovered not all wines get better with so much age... sometimes they just get more expensive :)
