Kudos and many thanks to @Martin G Rivard for sharing this exceptional VHR!! 2 HR decant and paired with a homemade barbecue chicken pizza (really, this carries well!). Thanks to @Ryan Mitchell for purchasing the sweet potato soufflé and corn bread sides to complete the meal. Inky dark with hint of tobacco, smoke and red currents. Tannins already smoothing for a 2013, but this could sit and improve for years a la @David Trumper. Many thanks again @Martin G Rivard, look forward to returning the favor!! — 8 years ago

@Martin G Rivard much thanks for allowing @Daryl Calhoun and myself to enjoy a VHR bottle this afternoon. That's what it is all about - wine and friends. Your bottle filled weekend made made us want to break out quality stuff. (See next post) This will age nicely and @Bruce Phillips has something special here. 70 degrees in Chicago during October is rare, but so is VHR - thanks again #martinthegreat

A cake like element here as well. Extremely complex.

Upon second day evaluation and research i see this wine has american oak. This explains the new smell. That tomato element was new to me. Upon further investigation i realized this was a roasted or even sun dried tomato smell. This is associated with the oak. Very cool wine, this makes me want to sample other american oaked shiraz.

Clare Valley Riesling 2006

Last looked at this about 6 months ago. It's not quite as fresh and vibrant now so I suspect it's past it's peak. Still plenty to like though - heaps of brown lime and lemon, with a touch of pistachio and pear, with that signature aged Riesling 'kerosene' note. — 8 years ago

Holbrook Mitchell Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2013

I read the other reviews and was surprised how low it was rated. Maybe it's the 2013 vintage vs the 2012. I found the 2013 delicious and wish I had purchased more when I was there. — 9 years ago

Gunslingers Barossa Valley Shiraz 2004

Big Ozzie Shiraz. All of the notes of this symphony push the boundary--ample black currant, pepper and cherry, high alcohol and noticeable oak with vanilla on the back end. Somehow it all works together and makes a fairly powerful wine. — 9 years ago
