Oz Winery

Domaine du Grand Tinel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2010

A highly unfortunate episode of spilling 3/4 of the bottle yielded only 5-6 oz. of juice remaining in the bottle to drink. The remaining juice was dynamite, though. Very dusty and rustic with dried cherries, cedar, tar and black pepper. Fantastic. — 9 years ago

The Fugazi Vineyard Grenache

Ochota will change your mind forever about how wine is being made in #Australia. The Fugazi Grenache is one of the best wines I have had from #Oz in years and surpasses many Grenache wines I have had IN and out of France. At 13.8% abv this balances freshness and ripeness perfectly for this grape. #ochota #fugazi #grenache — 9 years ago

Fugazi Grenache just sounds cool.

Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

The nose shows graphite and minty eucalyptus, blackberry and black cherry with barely a trace of oak. A classy wine and would hold its own on the global stage in its on right and style. The palate shows deeper fruit, but it's not too much and meshes well with the firm tannins. The finish leaves a nice perfume in the back of the mouth that floats up to the olfactory of loads on the eucalyptus and some violets. #oz — 10 years ago

Domaine des Chanssaud Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2012

Elegant. A bit more old world than expected. Needs lots of time and air to really show its layers. Charcoal, savory herbs, roasted meat juices. Had the tannin structure to stand up to the 50 oz Tomahawk. Very nice CdP. — 10 years ago

My gut says not to post after a bike ride, wine & a Manhattan, I missed a lot of words in my reply, my bad,
Seems like most new wines, at least quality wines taste great the 2nd day, but the really good ones don't last a 2nd day 😔 . It would be nice to compare these piper's in a few years
Just joking about your incessant need for 10 year old bottles
@Erika Birg , I wish I had your patience,

Yes indeed, the aroma you smell up front can be described as "beef brisket." The 2010 is the only bottling with this aroma and it comes from the 6% Pet Verdot combined with the fact the wine was only racked once in barrel. It needs a serious decant much of the time. After the 2010 I started racking the wines more and that aroma blows off before it goes into bottle. Some CA Syrahs have that aroma and for the same reason; they need more air in barrel.

Freycinet Vineyard

Tasmania Pinot Noir 2007

One of the best Pinots in Oz - from Tasmania. Fragrant nose combining mulchy forest floor notes with excellent French Oak but not overdone on the latter. Still with enough acid to cellar longer but I would prefer to drink remainder in the next few years. Excellent. — 10 years ago
