2009 Golden Grove Accommodation Creek Granite Belt Mediterranean Red

The label features GG as a signature like cufflinks on a striped business shirt. The wine has won silver at Qld wine show and the Australian alternative varieties show. It's made from tempranillo, durif and barbera which should be a terrific combination. The label says 'soft yet lengthy finish'  but we disagree with that. My drinking companion said it's a quaffing wine. For us it had no length. It was thin and odd-tasting; too warm and too toasty. There was honey in the aroma which mde me think of warm brown. There's a little pepper on the mid-palate, but not enough. However, it is a beautiful ruby red in colour.
