I have liked recent reds from Mount Langi, and this one continues the trend. A bit reduced to start with, but was fine on the second night. An interesting nose. Black cherries, spice, vanilla pod, stalk, charcoal and gunsmoke. Quite … Continue reading →

Mount Langi Ghiran “Billi Billi” Shiraz 2008

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Lincoln

Pleasantly restrained: black cherries and spice, cedar, cinnamon, minerals, with a touch of spearmint. The palate is elegant, with fruits like cherries and red plums, juicy and lightly spicy, powdery tannins and some grip. Finish showed sour fruits; nice and … Continue reading →

Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Riesling 2009

Posted on September 15, 2010 by Lincoln

A winery sample. The 2008 wine was a blend of Grampians and Henty fruit, so I’m guessing this one is too. I thought “Cliff Edge” was a vineyard in the former region, but perhaps there is precipitous terrain in both … Continue reading →

Another single bottle taster from many months ago. Might even be more than a year. A rich red in colour, with traces of purple. The nose showed a mass of different aromas, plums, mulberries and blueberries, vanilla and a nuttiness, … Continue reading →

The first from a quartet of Langi Shirazes: this wine, the Moyston Hills, the Nowhere Creek and the Cliff Edge. The Gap Vineyard is supposedly a slightly warmer site, and it shows it with aromas of plums and red berries, … Continue reading →

Mount Langi Ghiran “Langi” Shiraz 2005

Posted on May 7, 2008 by Lincoln

A rich red. Red cherries and red plums, lifted florals and strikingly deep seated peppery spices. There is also the impression of concentration, and hints of milk chocolate, cocoa and even chocolate. The palate is wonderfully balanced, cherries and plums, … Continue reading →

Mount Langi Ghiran Shiraz 1999

Posted on March 6, 2007 by Lincoln

Mount Langi Ghiran has been off my radar for a few years now. In fact, 1999 was the last vintage I bought, and after drinking my last bottle last night I can hear a ‘bip’, ‘bip’, ‘bip’, ‘bip’, because this … Continue reading →
