Instant Bon'oeur

Majella

The Malleea Cabernet-Shiraz Blend

I remembered this to be a lot more Cabernet influenced and apparent. Other than its instant smack of Blackcurrant I'm not getting any of the classic eucalypt or menthol aromas that I remembered. In saying that, the fruitful and primary bouquet is still so luscious showing ripe plum, fresh blackberry and vanilla tobacco aromas. The palate is almost syrup-like and shows ripe plum character and some savoury plum too. The finish is long as hell on this, really loving it — 9 years ago

Las Piedras Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Instant gratification. Plummy and Lucius. Just outstanding. It will age for a long time if you can keep your hands of off them. Plum, black cherry. Yowsa. — 10 years ago

Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Very primary after a 5 hour decant but a lot of class. Nicely balanced with dark sweet fruits, graphite and fig. I've been on the list since the start and Juan and company and their wines continue to ascend. I say hold for optimum drinking but instant gratification seekers need not tarry. — 9 years ago

Castello di Bossi

Riserva Berardo Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2010

It began with an instant aroma. Dry and eclectic taste, a true to form chianti. After a few sips it began to form a robust, but subtle fruity flavor. A classic nonetheless. — 10 years ago

Drinking so darn well I opened 2 bottles this week. The balance is leaning a bit on the fruit side yet it is Devine. Happy with the wine and the potential for further aging or instant gratification. Drink up — 12 years ago
