The australian flavour in europe

[mrdutton]

Yo....................

Hold on for a second. Let that wine from Haut-Medoc and Saint Emillion age and then taste.

Long live the difference. If the wine is meant to be drunk young, then by all means drink it so. However, if it should be aged, then let it be aged.

When you pop the cork on the old stuff that is at its peak you'll find no comparison to that stuff you drank so young.

With age there is wisdom and with wisdom there is knowledge. Cliche, yes. Truth, yes, even more so......

If you want wine from OZ, then doggone it stay in OZ, or when you travel bring the stuff with you.

If you want to experience the rest of the world, then open up a bit and don't expect that the stuff you drink in OZ should even begin to taste the same as the stuff you drink elsewhere.

What the hell happened to terrior (and yes my spelling is awful).

However the bottom line is this: Wine in Europe is not supposed to taste like wine in OZ. They are certainly different places and they are apart by more miles than one can imagine. Since the grape is a product of its soil and the resultant wine is a product of the grape, why would you expect two so different areas to be similar?
