Cat Amongst The Pigeons - A good Slow-Sipper

Friday Fire With a Glass Of Wine

What could be better than a winter warmer with Mrs MJ in front of the fireplace? Tonight we openned our bottle of Cat Amongst The Pigeons Barossa Shiraz 2016; a gift for my birthday in June from some good friends.

Price doesn't always equal quality

"Quality is determined by palate not price"

That is quite a statement to mae on a label, and how true it is. Some of the priciest wines can be terrible, while you can get some real gems at the lower end of the price spectrum. It really is all about the taste, and how much you enjoy a wine. Adkittedly, there are some real cheap and nasty wines out there, and finding those gems can be quite tricky.

Well, this one turned out to be one of those gems, and true to the quote above. What a find!!

The Cat Amongst The Pigeons

What a beautiful slow sipping wine this is! Inreally can't fault it. It has a really nice earthy tone at its foundation, with a palate of cherries, red berries, and a slight peppery... no, cinnamon.. no! I can't quite describe what I'm tasting, but it balances out the flavours really well. The taste isnfamiliar, but I just can't placw it, and neither can Mrs MJ.

Each sip is incredibly smooth, but finishes quite dry, leaving you looking for the next sip. A tantalizing wine which keeps giving with every sip.

This one certainly sets the cat amongst the pigeons when it came to describing what we were tasting. A solid 4 out of 5 is our score, and for a $15 bottle of wine that is a real gem of a wine to find.

Cheers!!
