Starry Starry Wine --- 滿天星

i don't know what to say about this wine...
it's an australian wine and i genuinely loved it
i usually don't tend to drink australian wines
they all tend to be over-extracted, over-powered, over-sweetened, over the top, over and over and they taste pretty much the same in terms of quality and style

but with this wine
a beautiful label fully encompasses the outside of the bottle
that's gotta be a first
a milky way of stars sitting along the name of this flagship wine of Clarendon Hills vineyard
---------ASTRALIS----------
meaning of 'revealed by the stars, relating to the stars' in latin

1994 Clarendon Hills "ASTRALIS"
CC: "captured by the stars on the label, 1994 marks the debut of this wine, generously JK pops the cork and ooosh comes the amazing nose from the bottle, bright murky red so intense u cannot see through it, indicating a wine with mysterious power and flavors, flamboyant! nose with dry fruit characters, my lord this has perfect balance, soft and sweet such gentle tannins, dry prunes/strawberry and a very distinguish flavor which i cannot describe... brilliant"
momentarily loss of words... i wish i own a bottle of this
