SA 54-354 Hoffman Dallwitz Syrah 2016

Sami-Odi Hoffmann Dallwitz Syrah 2016. This wine is a beast and will benefit greatly from some cellar time, but I can’t seem to keep my hands off. A triple decant along with 6 hours in the decanter at cellar temperature. I should have poured it on a cookie sheet with a couple of industrial fans blowing on it. All that said, the wine is spectacular and reminds me of my favorite Sami-Odi, “Baby Tui.” @Fraser McKinley. The Manfred Krankl Of Australia! What more can I say? — 7 years ago

Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Auslese Riesling 2009

The 2009 vintage Mosel is 100% riesling vinified spatlese off dry and 8% ABV. Light , bright and high acidity this wine is well balanced with intense fruit and acidity. Aromatics of tropical fruit, ripe stone fruit, delicate white floral notes carry this wine into and through the senses with elegance and finesse. What a wonderful wine to enjoy with Thai, traditional Cantonese fare, Indian and Asian fusion dishes. Enjoy. — 10 years ago

Very light-bodied at this age, fresh and almost watery, comes across like a thirst-quencher. Very nice. — 11 years ago

@Sharon B not sure where you are located but post July when I hope this pandemic is over I’m hoping the West Coast Wannabe Wine Nerds can meet up. Happy to dig one up and you could try with us. Maybe @David L could do another road trip!

Little Wine #3 Red Blend

A blend of the difficult wet 2011 vintage (9%) 2012 (63%) and 2013 (28%) the latter 2 vintages very good. Rich and delicious with raspberry on nose and palate from the old vine Hoffmann Dallwitz Vineyard. Lovely cool flavours as in temperature. Medium bodied with supple tannins. — 8 years ago

'Hoffman Dallwitz' MCMXII Syrah 2008

2008 Sami-Odi 'Hoffmann Dallwitz' MCMXII Syrah
Sourced from 94 vines, planted between 1888 & 1912.
Harvested 14th March 2008.
Yields of 32 hectolitres per hectare.
388 Bottles filled.
Label: ‘Villie-Morgon’ postcard;
Image sourced Paris 2008. A special treat from my friends @chuck_gudas in conspiracy with @fraser_mckinley, a rare treat of an early Sami-Odi offering. We decanted this wine for several hours, and then re-visited 24 hours later, and the wine continued to evolve and improve. Explosive nose of freshly baked cherry pie. More bright red fruits on the palate with a brambley undertone, and soft silky tannins. Wonderful mouth feel with a long, lingering finish. Thank you Chuck and Fraser!
