Cornas Syrah 2012

9.6

Made with complete cluster of grapes, dark inky purple in color, smells of nail polish, white pepper, tobacco with lively but restrained acidity, firm and strong tannin, tastes of leather, salty meat, raspberry, mineral stone, mint and herb, full body with complex long finish. Really tasty! — 10 years ago

2012, apparently if you missed the first time, no chance to add it.

Bin 28 Kalimna South Australia Shiraz 2011

Hylton Heeld

9.2

Purple colour, plummy jammy chocolate nose and palate. Slightly bitter, classic warm climate shiraz. Tasted with 2009 Grange and almost as enjoyable. Preferred it to the Bin 128 and the 389. Bargain. — 11 years ago

Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Kai Chang

9.2

Clear deep purple colour with watery rim. Clean medium intensity aroma with minty black cherry and black currant with hint of oak smokiness and vanilla. Dry on the palate full bodied medium alcohol with medium acidity and high but smooth velvety tannin. Flavours of earthy black currant, black cherry, and vanilla. Flavours last through into its long pleasant finish. Very good quality, drink now but can age for another 3 to 5 years for a even more balanced complexity. — 11 years ago

Flemings for our 13th anniversary. Had again several years later. Deep purple in color. Striking and strong nose. This is a complex blend with a loyal following. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon. I bought a 2015 from LA Wine Co in July of 2017 and opened in November of 2017. — 11 years ago
