Dans often want you to show them in stock within a certain amount of KMs when you ask, so I figured... just get it. Also - 7% cashback is a small bonus for Liquorland. I think i also got something like 500 measly bonus flybuys pts for my trouble.
I've only ever had a glass or two at restaurants, but recall enjoying it. Here's a review of the 2019 from Mike Bennie at The Wine Front (94 pts)
"Some of the older wines in my cellar are Clonakilla Hilltops Shiraz. There’s older, older, but of the younger older wines, this label hits quite a few slots. Has always been a good proposition. Better yet, the year it won ‘Best Wine Of Show’ etc when I was in my epoch of judging Canberra Regional Wine Show – a wine for the people. This one is too. It’s a significantly excellent release of this shiraz, shimmers in the glass with purple-dark red colour, slips over the palate with a satiny spread of mellifluous fruit and spice, offers fine sheets of lacy tannin and finishes fresh and nicely puckering. Such pretty sweet fruit, floral notes and piquant spice. Such a delight! Such pleasing and easy drinking but feels like pedigree too. A worthy addition to a cellar (and for your glass now, now, now)." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
