I was gonna post...

about a 1996 Rosemount Balmoral Syrah that was an oaky mess and a 2005 Edmunds St. John Shell and Bone White that was a joy to drink, but couldn't bring myself to do it. Glad I now have none of the former and 5 of the latter in my cellar.

Somebody had too much fiber this morning!

Where are the scores?? We want numbers!!
The Balmoral '96, this being one of the early ones, was a pretty classic and wonderful Oz Shiraz in its day (92 pts). But last time I had it a few yrs ago, it had pretty much cracked up and fallen apart, w/ nothing but a ton of goopy oak left (78 pts).

Sorry Tom. No numbers. Afterall, I am a Liberal Arts guy. As David suggests, life is just a slice of Pi.

I had one of the early Balmorals when it was young, and I thought it was an oaky mess then.

I haven't started in on my 96 Balmoral yet.......
