La Curio

Torbreck Vintners

Woodcutter's Barossa Valley Sémillon 2004

A curio and brought to the dinner by the Assistant winemaker at Torbreck. Proof that the Hunter Valley does not have a mortgage on producing excellent aged Semillon. All the citrus and honey with waxy notes one could want. — 8 years ago

Clonakilla

Canberra District Shiraz Viognier 2007

Generally agreed to be the benchmark for Shiraz Viognier in Australia. However, in 2007, a frost decimated the crop to yield only 150 dozen instead of the usual 2000 dozen. Dark crimson. Notes of black pepper, spice and cooked meat. Tannins still need to soften and are hiding the minimal fruit which is showing cherry flavours. A curio. — 9 years ago

Merricks Estate

Mornington Peninsula Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Cult. From the only pioneer that never lost faith with his Mornington Cabernet vines. Super red fruited, fresh, roasted red capsicum, more than just a curio. — 10 years ago

One other thing, so I remember. This smells so like an ageing Nebbiolo it's not funny. Not that roasted capsicum smell but everything else: flowers, bright red fruit, wood and earth. It's good.
