Wendouree
Clare Valley Cabernet Malbec 1996
On first approach very dried out with the dusty tannins showing and pungent menthol on the nose. Really settled over an hour with softer tannins and sweet fruit showing together with the menthol and exotic spices on the back palate. Tasting better the longer it is open. — a month ago

Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 2009
In the sweet spot, voluptuous mature Chardonnay at its best. Luscious front palate of balanced oak and mature fruit. Beautiful acids balance the long palate. Wonderful drinking. 2009 vintage — 4 months ago
Jansz Wine Company
Late Disgorged Cuvée Champagne Blend 2009
Really excellent Australian sparkling. Late disgorged with over 7 years on lees. Beautifully balanced with the lees contact providing delightful complexity without being too doughy or yeasty. Very impressed. — a month ago
Rosemount Estate
Mountain Blue Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon
On opening seemed I’d left it too long but an hour in the decanter did the trick opened up to a delightful wine although certainly with tertiary prune and leather influences. Sweet dusty tannin shining through the palate with some exotic spice to round it all out. Very happy! 🍷😀 — 2 months ago

Torbreck Vintners
Run Rig Shiraz Blend 2001
Absolutely amazing! Upon opening was so pungent the viognier really showing strongly, however after about an hour the nose exploded with chocolate and spice. Every sip is an explosion of flavors that simultaneously batters and caresses your palate. The length is truly exceptional the flavors just go on and on. Wow, last bottle but so glad I drank it with my brother. — a month ago
Wynns Coonawarra Estate
Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 1996
Bought at winery in 1999. Absolutely amazing. Opened dry and tannic but 1-2 hrs of decanting opened the fruit and sweet Coonawarra tannin. Layer upon layer of flavor. Liquid love. — 2 months ago
Fondo Antico
Grillo Parlante Bianco Sicilia Grillo
