Yalumba

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

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

Terroir de Courgis Chablis Chardonnay 2013

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

Wynns Coonawarra Estate

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.

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

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
