Definitive Wines

Juniper Estate

Juniper Crossing Margaret River Shiraz

Cherry notes with some dust and spice. Medium bodied at best yet ripe fruit with traces of spice on palate. Marg River Shiraz from the north does not have a definitive identity. Shiraz seems to do better in the south ie Voyager, Cape Mentelle and Leeuwin Estate. — 10 years ago

A very enjoyable sweet red wine. Definitive chocolate overtones. More of a dessert wine really. — 13 years ago

Achával-Ferrer

Finca Mirador Mendoza Malbec 2010

Superb Malbec! Cranberry and boysenberry on the nose. The palate is interesting as it is a melange of black and red fruits - think blackberry and cranberry compote. A definitive note of allspice as well. — 10 years ago

Forge Cellars

Les Alliés Pinot Noir 2012

Let this sit for a couple hours. Dried straw and raspberries, wet Autumn leaves -- great balance. One of the definitive FLX pinots produced so far. Really expresses the region. Will really be something in another 6-8 years. — 11 years ago

Definitive Nascetta. Opened yesterday and continues delivering tell-tale herbal aromatics (rosemary) and petrol. Noble. Extraordinary character. More like how a Riesling ages. Or Timorasso. Beautiful depth. #theotherpiemonte #Italianwhite — 11 years ago

Venezia Giulia IGT Kaplja Bianco Chardonnay Blend 2004

Give some time to open up, candied orange peel along with a medicinal soundscape of twisted aromas. Cloudy and a definitive length that gives a good structure all the way through.
Had it along with a groundbreaking Risotto Carnaroli alla Parmigiana with white Alba truffle a.k.a The Great White.
