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. — 9 years ago

Pierres Dorées Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2005

Super herbal, fresher than it seems and full of fruit. Decant this guy to let it open up. On opening, lots of iron and herbs. — 11 years ago

Ripper of a wine, deep complexity needs 20 years! — 11 years ago

Patrick Jasmin

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2004

At the end of its peak, but no worse off. Still ethereal cherry and delicate flowers over roiling meaty dirt. Delicate texture until the finish where the tannins kick in. A touch of oxidation along the edges, but I can't say that was unwelcome with seared strip steak over spelt apricot couscous and spicy yard-long beans with harissa oil. — 11 years ago

Jumpin' Juice (Patrick Sullivan)

Half Full Pinot Blend

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. — 10 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 — 11 years ago

Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 1982

Well if the 82 Bordeaux are proving amazing so is this Wynns 82; like it's cousins in the Medoc; very cabernet dominant; winemaker at the time John Wade, now a WA resident; had his first go at small barrique winemaking; now more cleverly used by Sue Hodder; current winemaker; this 13% wine still has the black fruit of correctly ripe cabernet; and the tannin draw and backbone which ticks my boxes; great drink from Coonawarra; wished more from that region show this way; the bar is set; 33 years later; #wynns #coonawarra #cabernet #1982 — 11 years ago

The John Riddoch from the same year was a stunner as well.

Agree; but more oakier than the black; double new oaking has made the Riddoch a trifle oily; whereas the black looks integrated.

Les Forêts Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

2014. High acidity, cheese rind, tart green apple, green apple skin, lemon, salinity, touch of bioche. Yum. — 10 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. — 10 years ago

Towards the end of drinkable life. Pleasantly surprised by how much fruit was left. Great texture. — 11 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! — 11 years ago

Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz

Found this hidden on a shelf of a local liquor store. Was worried about how well it has been stored. Well it's in great shape balanced the fruit has been relaxed the spices subdued Im probably not writing the best review but I rarely do. So this is good. And im gonna go rob these shelves of the rest of these bottles. — 11 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. — 11 years ago

It has notes of tart fruit and you can really get the mineral taste. This wine was really good with shellfish! — 12 years ago
