Another Parker 90!

G'day Mate! from the Duke of Bourbon!

Last week, we tasted the Lengs and Cooter 2002 "The Victor" (from Australia) and were blown away by its deep color, delicious, intense flavor and elegant mouth feel. After recovering, we checked to see what Robert Parker had to say in his Wine Advocate and were not surprised to see that he had awarded it 90 points! We love his description:
"No, this is not the house wine for the Hooter's restaurant chain. And, no, I haven't misspelled the name of the winery. These are serious efforts from the Clare Valley. A great value . . . the emphasis is on "great," is the 2002 The Victor, a 3,000-case blend of 70% Shiraz and 30% Grenache. It exhibits surprising elegance (a characteristic of the 2002 vintage) along with tell-tale toasty oak as well as sweet, dense, black cherry, and black currant fruit notes. This deep ruby/purple-colored, medium-bodied 2002 is surprisingly defined and stylish. It is hard to believe a wine of this stature, gracefulness, and intensity can be purchased for $18 . . . Consume it over the next 5-6 years."

Here is yet more proof that outstanding wine can come from almost anywhere in the world. And you know that the Wine Advocate doesn't throw 90 points at just anything in a bottle.

The price is evidence that competition in the wine world is fierce and intensifying. The wine retails for $18.99 per bottle. Buy a 6-pack for just $16.99 per bottle. For 12 bottles or more, the price is only $15.99 per bottle.

Think of fine wine - think of the Duke!
