Oh what a drop!............Best red wine opened in this household so far in 2011. Outshines a bottle of 1999 Leasingham Bin 61 from a month or two back. 
It had lots of Gold Medals, not that these always count from smaller Shows / Exhibitions, but with a Gold at Sydney Royal Easter Show, well...........that is a little different, with some serious competition usually.
Yes, a great bottle of Orlando St Hugo Cabernet Sauvignon, 2001 from Coonawarra, a very well respected terroir in South Australia. Very good drinking to complement a good steak and salad.
Best of all......with careful buying a few years ago and some cellaring –
it cost $27 a bottle..........and..............and...........and ........there are several more.
Current readily available releases [2006 and 2007] of the same wine are round $50 a bottle.
