Rosemount GSM

[mrdutton]

Well after a couple of weeks of not having my question answered.................. I think I've answered it myself.

WS did review the 1997 Rosemount GSM on 01/31/00. However, I could find no specific article about the wine, other than the tasting notes, in my search of WS archives (online). But that sure was not their inaugural year for that particular blend of wine labeled as GSM. As near as I can determine 1993 (searching www.wineaccess.com) was the inaugural year because that is the earliest that I can find any reference to the wine, so far.

However, Rosemount's web site (http://www.rosemountestates.com.au/) says that the inaugural GSM was the 1994 vintage.

I have two bottles of the 1997 gently resting under slightly refrigerated (52 degrees) conditions and three bottles of the 1995.

We'll taste them in a while and see what we think. In the meantime we'll drink the Penfolds 1994 GSM.
