Dominio de Pingus

Flor de Pingus Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2015

See previous note from March 2022. Very dark Ruby in colour- impenetrable. Blackberry, smoky notes. A rich full bodied dense palate with a tarry note. Dusty. Granular persistent tannins. Again, Thomas Matthew’s drinking window is way too early (to 2025). This wine will cruise to 2030 with ease. When you taste this wine you have a new appreciation of the allure of Tempranillo, in this case old vine Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. Post Script: The next day - aniseed and a crushed ant note. — 6 months ago

Excellent producer. Still waiting on a couple of my vintages. We were at the property when this was in tank.

You have certainly visited many properties around the world as have my wife and I. Have not visited Pingus but do have a bottle or two of the main Cuvée resting in the cellar.

Might be only Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc I like. Dry but citrusy without any aftertaste. — 4 years ago

Unripe honey dew. The last Friday boat night of the season here in Michigan. Beautiful night on the lake. Had some tasty wines on the boat this summer. Sad to see it come to an end. Decent wine and shrimp ceviche. — 3 years ago

Elderton

Command Single Vineyard Shiraz 2004

After a brief decant this wine produced a lovely perfume redolent of ripe plums ( almost pruney) Earth, minerals, black fruits and a little crushed ant. Also espresso notes A lot going on from this premium Barossa Cuvée On the medium to full bodied palate prunes plum and earthy meaty characters. This was an exceptional Shiraz. The fruit for the Command comes from a vineyard planted in 1894. — 5 years ago

@David T I have never actually been to the Cellar Door but 25 weeks ago at the Downs Club Cameron Ashmead hosted an Elderton Dinner featuring a 2010 6 litre Methuselah which he had kindly brought.

Anthill Farms

Campbell Ranch Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

First of all Kudos to Ant Hill love the wax seal over cork! Deep Ruby with aromas of dark Berry fruits with notes of herbs, citrus, floral and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry, tea, vanilla and herb tones, well balanced with acidity. Firm fine tannins on a long finish ending with fruit and floral herb character. Very nice! Will age well! — 6 months ago

The Dead Arm McLaren Vale Shiraz 2008

Dark Ruby in colour - almost black and impenetrable. Notes of creosote, stewed black and red fruits and a note of crushed ant which is not meant to be disparaging. Grainy Tannins resolving with a pruney note on the medium to full bodied palate. I haven’t always enjoyed the Dead Arm but this was a beauty. The first of 3. — 2 years ago
