5th and Bowie

Bourbon Barrel Aged Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

Really does have an edge of bourbon to the red. Appreciated the novelty and even thought it was a decent cab. Turns out it goes well with burgers (if not going with the standard of beer) — 2 months ago

Château du Rouët

Cuvée Réservée Tradition Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2018

Burnt orange in colour with a pale copper hue. Aromas of sliced watermelon and red florals. Sweet but not overly so on the front palate showing strawberry and a herbal touch. Barb thought a peachy note on light weight palate finishing with a nice bitterness. An excellent Provençal Rose for immediate drinking. Had another bottle on 5th January 2022, 17 weeks later with consistent notes. On the Gold Coast at Northcliff. Had the last bottle on 16th November 2023 with consistent notes. Watermelon notes still there. Refreshing. — 3 years ago

Mac Forbes

Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2015

Lemon in colour. Some flint in evidence and smoky barrel ferment characters - sulphides. Sweeter on the palate than you would expect from the nose. Rich lemon characters. Overall lean in style. Tasted 41 weeks later on 19th January 2022 with consistent notes. Still in the lean citric acid style. Had another bottle 69 weeks later on 5th August 2022. It had filled out somewhat and not as lean. Excellent winemaking on show - perhaps pick a bit later for more ripeness? Mac seems to be aiming for a more elegant style. — 3 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2000

Medium plus Ruby in colour - when swirled a tawny note shows. Dusty berry derived aromas - cassis/blackcurrant on the medium weight palate; cedar/cigar box with a touch of capsicum. A very good mature left bank Bordeaux from an excellent vintage. I had a bottle of this 3 years ago and received some commentary from other Delectable users that I was drinking this too early. It does have a longer life than I said 3 years ago but I am more than happy to drink it now. As LM Segal said about this wine on Delectable, “If you’ve got em drink em”. As always with Lynch Bages it deserves a higher rating than 5th Growth - but in summary not overly complex. — 9 months ago
