Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2017

This a blockbuster Chablis, massive, multi-layered, nose still very closed. Offers a lot of potential too early to judge. — 6 years ago

Cuvée des Forgets Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2015

9.1

Drank 7/3/18. Excellent pairing with shrimp in a butter and garlic sauce.

Nose of apple and pears, backed by some earthy elements. On the palate a medium to full mouthfeel yields flavors of green apple and pear backed by some subtle minerality and lemon curd. The flavors last on the finish for around 45 seconds. Very nice. If there is such thing as value in Burgundy, this is it. Enjoyed this more than the last time I drank it, though both were good experiences.

Coonawarra Cabernet-Merlot Blend 2008

Notes of dusty mulberries and blackberries - also olive. A beautiful balancing act of 60%Cabernet Sauvignon and 31%Merlot and 9% Shiraz. Very different to the 1996 Moss Wood had recently because of the Merlot in the blend. Good density and concentration. A class act. — 7 years ago

Notes of citrus (lemon), minerality and seashells, or maybe that was the oysters that paired well with the Chablis! — 7 years ago

Terroir Découverte Chablis Chardonnay 2014

Nose is linear and soft. Lime, beer foam, chalk, apple blossom. Palate is juicy, broad, mouth-filling with loads of golden apple, lime, rocks, and underripe melon. Zippy. — 8 years ago

Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

This guy still needs another couple years to age. And when you open it wouldn't hurt to decant. But it's got good legs for aging, which kinda makes me wish I had bought more than one. Or waited longer. Thick as you might want in a red and rife with cassis, dried bay leaf, vanilla and maybe violets. Strong tannins. Yeah...I thought it would be okay to have this 2010 now but it could use a year or so. Or it may just be an overpowering cab. I mean it is tasty but pretty overpowering! Right now. — 8 years ago

When you're drinking singular wine, on the winery itself, while the dude makes fresh pasta for your lunch and you're looking at the excessively pretty scenery of the strzelecki ranges, the rating can only be in the high nines. Viva Patrick and Megan. — 8 years ago

John Riddoch Limited Release Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Always going to be the highlight of the Wynns tasting and only made in years where the fruit quality and vintage conditions were exceptional. Sue Hodder said everything fell into place in 2015 and she made one of her best ever Riddochs. From less than 1% of Wynns available Cabernet fruit. Latent power on nose and palate with black fruits and balanced oak. At least a 30 year future but so balanced you could happily drink this now but one should wait at least 10 years for its charms to start showing through. A brilliant 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. — 6 years ago

Les Forêts Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2015

Vibrant & tense, but showing deep citrus & hints of apricot. Bit of spice & smoke on the nose shows back up on the finish. 2015 Chablis is just great. — 7 years ago

Terroir de Fyé Chablis Chardonnay

Lead to believe that the 14' is going to be relatively hard to live up to but this is pretty damn enjoyable regardless. The thick, oily texture here could be possibly confused as potential barrel work, especially served warm, but don't let that fool you. Wet stones, chlorine, green apple and white peach aromas. The palate has a gob-tonne of green apple but despite that oily texture there's plenty of acidity here too — 7 years ago

Terroir de Courgis Chablis Chardonnay 2014

Well then...an orchard, and a cheese plate - in a glass. This zippy Chablis is all apples and pears and possibly a bit of pecorino - in a good way. So pretty it would be with a plate of salume and cheese and marcona almonds with rosemary... — 9 years ago

The Menzies Coonawara Cabernet Sauvignon

I had the 2010 vintage... It was delicious. It needs some air (give or take 30 min) to get rid of a slight musty smell but even immediately after pouring it tastes amazingly balanced! Very round cab sav with tastes of blackberries and cassis and even some cheeky but very welcomed hint of soil. Perfect combination for my lamb. Will definitely try it again! — 9 years ago

The nose missleads one with a slight oxidative hint and aromas of cider, fowl and quince, but the palate is fresh and primary with excellent acidity, rich yet soft fruit and a long finish of peach, strawberry and macadamia. — 9 years ago

Fruit of The Sky Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2015

Côte de Bouqueyreaux Bougros Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2014

Very pretty and consistent with the house style. I will say that I did not find it particularly Grand Cru. Never developed much length or complexity, though I can at least say it didn't feel manipulated and was a pure expression of Chablis. But 2014, I hoped for more? — 7 years ago

Black Label Coonawarra Shiraz 2010

Initial flavours - Blackberry, spice, mint, pencil shavings with a hint of chocolate. Decanted and left to breathe for a good couple of hours. BBQ'd some scotch fillet steaks and whacko, what a feast. The wine had mellowed significantly and blackberry flavours came to the fore over the spice and tannins. Cracking experience. Savoured every last drop. — 7 years ago

Nose layered with savoury herb. Nice ripe fruit, grippy tannin and an underlying savoury complexity. These few years have done a lot of good for its drinkability — 9 years ago
