Tonight’s nightcap 🥃

During our stay at the hospital for the birth of our son some dear friends of ours brought my wife & I a care package. In it were all manner of goodies and treats, as well as a bottle of champagne and this scotch. They know us all too well 🤫🤷🏻‍♂️

Caramel, creme brûlée, charred orange peels, and Christmas spice cake on the nose. Mild notes of moss on the palate with a pronounced but welcome warmth on the way down. Smooth and perfectly suitable for ending the day with.

Cape Mentelle

Margaret River Chardonnay 2009

Wow; how maturing #margaretriver #chardonnay does vary; see recent #cullen #2009 which was brassy, this gleaming green and plenty of it; #cullen restrained, this #capementelle is butch; nose power of smoke or burnt things, bottle age nose not simple, evidence of lees/ mlf from the smoke; palate chunky, lime juice, burnt toast you taste in 30 yo Eden Valley riesling; juicy smoke; rich, not terribly drying, acid taut, 13%, AUD 35, full bodied, no apparent reason for it to fade for a while; contained power. #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours — 8 years ago

Vasse Felix

Filius Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Bought this over the holidays to confuse family members who often drink Cali Cabernet. It did the job: there were ZERO guesses of Cabernet Sauvignon, which is precisely why I like this Margaret River expression. Yes, it's definitely oaked, but the higher acidity and brighter fruit notes make this a winner that's easy to drink. Added plus: very little in the Juniper + bell pepper department. — 5 years ago

Typical Vasse elegance in this new (to me!) Chardonnay cuvée, but lots of rich fruit too. Retains that lovely, Burgundian seam of savoury which all good Margaret River Chardonnays should have. — 8 years ago

This is just ridiculous. Act 7. Tastes of deep figs/plums up front as if grandma just baked a pie in your mouth. Finished smooth with a tiny bit of spice and more jams that make you want to cry. More of this please. — 5 years ago

St Innocent Winery

Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir

Outstanding Oregon Pinot Noir. Clear pale/medium ruby, nose of well worn earth, forest floor, charred wood, cloves, cherry cola, cough syrup with faint red fruit beneath it - especially cranberry. Light tannins with more earthiness and rich red cherries on the palate. Long finish. So good! — 6 years ago
