About Me

I'm just your average guy with a love and passion for wine. I enjoy touring and tasting as well as collecting wines. My current cellar sits around 350 bottles which fluctuates dependent on occasions and if I find a bargain. My preference for drinking as you will discover as this blog grows is to big bold Shiraz, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and the occasional Rosé on a summers day. Although they are the wines I love I definitely appreciate all wines and give my descriptions/recommendations based on the quality and taste of the wine not based on my personal preference to the grape variety, I will drop my opinion in there to help those few out who simply want to be told good or not good. Good luck with your purchases and I hope I can help. Happy drinking.

T'Gallant 2007 Claudius

Unfiltered this wine looks very cloudy both in the bottle and in the glass, a dark lemony colour it does look quite appealing until you stick your nose over the glass. It has a very dirty aroma like the liquid in canned asparagus. On the palate it is just as dirty but slightly more pleasant with a medium body and acidity and unfortunately it has good length.

In summary this wine is almost undrinkable in my eyes. Don't shy away from a tasting as it is definitely an experience but don't just blindly buy a bottle as I'm sure you will be disappointed.

I doubt any professional has done a rating on this although I'd love to read one as it would be an eye opener. I honestly can't even rate this wine as if I did it would come out being negative I'm sure.

I'm fairly sure you will only be able to purchase this from the cellar door @ $29 a bottle as I doubt any good wine merchant would tarnish their name by selling you a bottle without letting you taste it and like it.

Don't buy a bottle unless you've tasted it and like it, if you do happen to think its great then please let me know as I'd love to know why. Enjoy if you try this but if you have an option buy and Imogen instead!
