Some aldehydic lift. Dried leaf and black fruit. Nicely balanced palate - long and even. Lots of interest. — 7 years ago

Plenty of potential here. Savoury, slightly peppery nose, yet silky, fruit-driven flavours. Slightly chalky in the mouth but generally fresh and vibrant. — 10 years ago

Famous #australian #riesling from the #clarevalley made by #accolade company #leasingham . From the hot season of #2003 though mot looking shabby; pale gold yes; spice and restraint not strong kero or honey; backward a little; evolving fruit; blessed by screwcap; 12.5%. — 10 years ago

No oak, a year on lees, and Malo (my kind of thing) Ripe golden and red apple, roasted pineapple, brown spices, smoke, cultured cream. Great balance. Calcareous soils. — 11 years ago

Picture perfect rendition of what dry Clare Valley Riesling should be, without any crazy surprises. Bright ripe citrus, slightly under ripe tropical fruit, and bitter white phenols. Very enjoyable. — 12 years ago

Lovely, brisk, pretty grenache, this one. Light on its feet. Light to medium bodied with great acid that complements the mix of dark cherry and red fruit notes. Yum. — 8 years ago

My 200th wine!!

I probably spent a bit too long thinking about which wine to choose, having noticed the night prior that I was at 199. But then this bottle struck me and that was that! About a year ago, I had my dad "import" this from Canada because it seems Wakefield is hard to get in the US. It was one of the first wines I ever remember buying and then saying - i am going to make a conscious effort to buy more. So I felt this would be a good anniversary wine to see how far I've come, as there have been at least 200 cuvées since I started on here

I'm glad to say that I still think this is a very good wine. The nose opens with sweet cedar and cherry. It's fairly dark purple but still opaque. On the palate there are the typical notes of dark blue fruits. It has fairly soft tannins and a moderate finish. The #qpr is high!

With all that said - I'd like to thank all the folks that I follow on Delectable. I've learned a lot from each of you and I appreciate reading your thoughts and seeing what you're drinking. @David A Lentine @Ron R @Jody Scharf @Bill Bender @"Odedi" @Mike Rowe @Rochelle @Martin G Rivard @Bob McDonald @Fraser McKinley @Paul T @Shay Aldriedge @Eric Shanks @Matthew Beninati and everyone else who I may have forgotten!! Cheers!! — 10 years ago

This beautiful Chardonnay takes you through a story ...it melts in your mouth at the ending and has a beautiful journey to get there. Yum! I can taste the minerality and the limestone ... A wonderful combo of butter and nuttiness. — 11 years ago

2011 - dark berries jump out of the glass, with subtle notes of cola on closer inspection. Pepper and dark berries with a touch of cherry on the palate, lovely acidity in the back half and a lovely long finish and sultry tannin. Beautiful wine from a spectacular terroir. — 11 years ago

Just a hint of kerosene on the nose, her palest of apple fruits and a touch of acidity. This has aged very well and with some good weight in the mouth, a fine example of mature Aussie Riesling. — 11 years ago

Really beautiful, feminine Shiraz. Not as full body or powerful as Barossa: brighter fruit with smooth undertones of pepper. — 7 years ago

Bob McDonald

9.5

Powerful aromas and flavours with grainy savoury tannins. These Wendouree Reds are built to last and I am starting to realise that they are best after 15 years. Certainly another 10 years in this one. Very Australian with Eucalypt/Menthol and earthy minerality - more savoury than fruit driven - not surprising at 17 years of age. — 8 years ago

Igor Beron

9.1

Off-vintage but tasty. A bit of a mouldy nose, eucaliptus, pine, herbs, blackcurrants and blueberries. Really strong presence of a pencil shaves note. Not as heavy and concentrate as it is. — 9 years ago
