Leeuwin Estate
Art Series Margaret River Chardonnay 2008
One of my favorite Australian Chardonnay.
Wynns Coonawarra Estate
John Riddoch Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
Such a pleasure to have this beauty slosh around the palate. Rich rhubarb, pepper and lingering notes of dark chocolate. Clear aromas of dried black currants and red capsicums (as noted by @Bob McDonald). The type of wine that makes me proud to be Australian.
Château Sociando-Mallet
Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2003
Personally, these are incredible wines for the price point. Love them. Would take over many 4th or 5th growths.
@Shay A No doubt. I have limited experience with Sociando but impressed with this effort in a difficult year.
Henschke
Hill of Grace Vineyard Shiraz 1998
The perfect example of wine being alive in a bottle; this 1998 vintage continues to evolve, hours after opening. Have patience with this initially coy 21 year old; allow him to find his feet and settle into the year of 2019 before making your final judgements. Opens like Bambi and finishes like a Red Deer. Tobacco, Manuka honey, and stewed raspberries on the nose. Followed with a dense, spicy, fruit cake on the palate. Would love to taste another of the same vintage in 5-years.
@Georgina McDonald We will put this wine to the test in another 5 years as you suggest Georgie!😋🍷
