Adega Do Vale

Ochota Barrels

The Fugazi Vineyard Grenache 2022

Fresh, sappy, tart essence of raspberry.
A slightly funky nose full of energy and purity.
Bright & light on the palate, with juicy acidity and a fun light tannic grip. This has great character, brilliant energy & depth and is so much non Aussie jam. Great drinkability.
Love it!

9.4

Seductive nose of blueberry, cassis, cedar, dark roasted coffee bean,, nutmeg, peppery spice, touch of barnyard, and hint of tobacco. Probably the most harmonious palate I’ve had in an Aussie Shiraz. The oak and alcohol are totally integrated, with ample acidity and soft elegant tannins. Powerful and graceful.
What a surprise!

Still pretty big and concentrated, but I think age did the magic in this bottle. Cheers @Jae Cho !

Herdade do Esporão

Monte Velho Alentejano Aragonez Blend 2021

"this is a wine made from Portugal grapes, and poor, stony soils and in a continental climate characterized by wide temperature ranges. Composed of regional great varieties - predominantly the aragonez, sarah, and Torigo National, it reveals the typical character of its origin. It is intense with rich aromas, complex flavors and is an excellent partner to good food," — 7 months ago

Tinto Douro Touriga Nacional Blend 2021

Had the privilege of being the first non Quinta Do Vale Meao persons to have a try of this wine. Probably one of the best Portuguese dry reds still with lots of ageing potential. Appreciated that they combine tradition and technology. Complex and elegant despite its youth. — 8 months ago

Jester McLaren Vale Shiraz 2009

An absolutely gorgeous Shiraz - and a steal for the price. Black pepper, licorice, and dark fruits on the nose, deliciously rich textbook flavors on the palate, but not overwhelming. Balanced and nuanced. Mile long finish. Beautiful. — 9 years ago

Quinta do Noval

Vintage Port Blend 2018

2018 vintage. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Sediment new sludgy vs old chunky. Massive, brawny, pointing fingers and looking to pick a fight that you won't win. Maybe you can best it in five decades. Maybe. 12.17.23. — 6 months ago

Pewsey Vale Vineyard

Single Vineyard Estate Eden Valley Dry Riesling 2021

Pale straw color with a slight green cast. Piercing aromas of petrol and wet slate with slight hints of white flowers and lemon/lime. The palate features ripe red apple, white peach, lemon and lime with a light touch of spicy ginger. A bit of a chalky texture which is well balanced by bracing acidity. A bit of CO2 bubbles in the glass. Long and lingering finish. Great with food. — 8 months ago
