Drink Wine and Giggle Gals rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

When the Drink Wine and Giggle Gals said to the waiter, "We'll have the Fifth Leg, please!" he smiled at us as if we'd just ordered something best enjoyed in private. We immediately consulted our smart phones to make sure fifth leg wasn't in the urban dictionary. Apparently the fifth leg refers to the mysterious fossilized remains of a Tasmanian tiger with five legs found in a secret cave on the winery's estate. When our wine arrived the mystery was solved: this is a seriously smooth red with lots of legs.
Danielle rated this wine as 52/100 with the following review:

If someone else poured that in a glass for me, I would drink it and say it was delicious but I wouldn't think it. It had too much of a kick to it.
Don rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Delicious wine with pork medallions - suitable for quaffing


Natalie's Review

Fifth Leg Shiraz Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, Western Australia, Australia: A savoury, meaty, juicy red that's bursting with black plums and berries. There's a little mint on the nose which gives the wine a pleasant lift. Darkly concentrated, this is a terrific party wine. Start a party just by opening it. Drink: 2011-2014.  212605  14%  XD  750 mL  $15.95  Score: 88/100. June 6, 2011  Full Review
