Picked up a couple of bottles of the 2010 on the way from the pub to the pizza place tonight. Worked a treat - what's not to love about it. Great writeup.

Fair call, Paul.

Joshgtv - Most of the time I think you are right about readers of this blog generally not being in the Market for Church Block, but I can tell you that if you get stuck in a pub bistro with an indifferent wine list(and there are many of those) then the Church Block is the sort of wine they are likely to have.

Not a problem Anon, always open to criticism. You are right that this is definitely different to my usual posts, and that is purely because it was written for a magazine first and foremost (one where I don't usually publish scores in). Horses for courses, and different style posts for different audiences (if you get my drift).

Sorry, but this comes across as rather patronising.

Lots of soppy into' and a miserly short single paragraph about the actual wine. And no score! I guess, despite all you say, you don't really believe it to be really worthy of one.

Just stating my opinion......

Hey Andrew, nicely written piece etc. etc., but if I could play devil's advocate for a moment... how many of your readers (blog readers, that is) are in the market for Church Block? Speaking for myself only... I read your blog to hear about less commercial wines. No dramas if it's only once in a while though.

A well written piece Andrew. You get to the point and tell it how it is. No need to be critical, etc.
Like it.

Comfortable as hell. Reliable, generous and very real. I'm a fan.

Good piece AG, spot on in that it may be unfashionable, but it's like the old worn t-shirt you can't bear to throw out as it's so comfortable.

Hello Andrew,
Good write up, it resonates perfectly with me as the 1990 vintage of this wine was the first wine epiphany i ever encountered.I had started my chefs apprenticeship and after service shared bottle of this over a meal with the boss.Wow, at the time i was amazed that a red wine could have such richness and depth. It sent me into the world of wine, a 13 year ( and counting)industry career, wet feet, numerous Hangovers, and have met many great people in the search for more fine wine! The WWCB is like a favorite pair of uggboots - daggy,comfy,sometime unfashionable, but always rewarding and comforting to put on.
