Continuing this winery pattern of irregularity, the 2002 Dry Red Wine No. 2, while excellent, is much more attenuated, and somewhat emaciated when compared to its blockbuster younger sibling. It possesses a dark ruby color in addition to notes of dried herbs, raspberries, cherries, and dusty, sweaty saddle leather. Although not as deep, complete, or potentially profound, it is an intriguing wine to drink over the next 5-6 years. This artisinal winery produces what must be the most idiosyncratic/eccentric wines of Australia. They can be absolutely spectacular, or they can be distressingly irregular, one never knows which until the cork is pulled. I suspect if the late recluse of Chateauneuf du Pape, Jacques Reynaud, were reincarnated in Australia, he might be making the wines at this backwater address.
