I was going through the cellar and I felt like something properly aged and not young. Recently I opened all these old wines and were positively surprised:). I remembered that more than one year ago I tasted this wine, but 2001 vintage so I was curious to check this one and I must say it was a good choice:) For the pic please refer to previous vintage here.
Just checked - Simeon Wines has been absorbed into what is now a public company called Australian Vintage Ltd. It does not seem that the label has been continued. Good to see how a good priced wine can be such a pleasure. Cheers!
