Gorgeous laser beam of lemon cream and acid. — 7 years ago
The acidity is like a punch in the face - in a good way! Very dry with a bit of sunny currant. — 7 years ago
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. — 8 years ago
Soft and pure fruit. Very gentle soft finish. Plenty of acid but aslo rounded fruit. — 8 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. — 9 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%. — 9 years ago
Nice wine. Probably not the 94 that it has received in the press — 9 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. — 10 years ago
This is really delicious. Just a bit of age, great while prepping roast chicken — 10 years ago
Really nice drop — 10 years ago
Really beautiful, feminine Shiraz. Not as full body or powerful as Barossa: brighter fruit with smooth undertones of pepper. — 6 years ago
The aroma of this wine is full of berries and sandalwood. Definitely unique — 8 years ago
Good concentration of fruit, still very tight come back in a long time to enjoy this wine more — 8 years ago
Full of fruit, long finish. A hint of barnyard. — 9 years ago
Ecellent drop. Just the right blend of viscosity and beautifully mellow on the tongue. — 9 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. — 10 years ago
Our friends Fiona and Ryan brought this bottle of wine to a South African themed dinner party at our place. Delicious! — 10 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. — 10 years ago
Solid hints of pineapple and stone fruit, with a dry finish that I'd recommend a spicy Thai to accompany with. — 11 years ago
When you live the dream!!Deep ruby color like this baby just got few years old on the nose an explosion of fruits combined with the miracle of the aged cabernet with notes of cinnamon cigar mushroom black truffle violet liquorice red orange and pink pepper i wish i had another bottle to open in 10 years time!! — 6 years ago
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. — 7 years ago
R character modified by terroir and style to bright acidity and firm gorgeous tannins. Richness and intensity belies the thought of Pinot blanc — 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!!
