My infatuation with these wines is nothing new, but this was my first time trying one with a touch of age. This Little Wine #6 is a blend of 4% 2012 vintage, 5% 2013 vintage, 44% 2015 vintage and 47% 2016 vintage. This was released in the beginning of 2017.
As if this alone wasn’t a treat, a buddy opened up the single vintage from the same release, the 2015 Mahe & Ribo. Similarities abound between the two, but I found this to be more sweet, rich fruit and less savory/roasted character. I wish I could have a candle from these wines because for me, there is no wine out there that has better aromatics than these. Absolutely fills the room with gorgeous dark fruits…high toned with jam/preserves notes. Sandalwood is evident too. The palate is very Aussie Shiraz like without dialing everything to 11. There is intensity here, but it’s not too much. Similar notes on the palate with so much back and forth of rich fruits with violets to sweet espresso and black peppered dark chocolate. Round and silk like on the palate. Enjoy now or hold. — 5 years ago

Interesting airy lemon and neutral merengue aromas with powdered pineapple, and dried lime, clementine pith and light toast. Lime zest and delicate lemon on the palate, chalky mineral character, showing underripe apricot, green strawberry, white carnation petal, lemongrass and lime zest. Incredible wine at an unbelievable price. #Bulliat #crémantdebourgogne #AvilleMorgon #brutnature #brut #bubbles #bubblesonabudget #sparklingwine #bubblesforlife #bubblesalldamnday #bubbles4thepeople #bubblesareagirlsbestfriend — 8 years ago
Had with Loic, Tina, loic's brother and Tina's friend Xander, daveed, chez nous for picnic. A bit peillant initially but as it opened up it had amazing structure, subtle but rich flavor, not juicy at all. Would have again after airing it out a bunch. — 10 years ago

Revisiting the Mahé & Ribo Syrah in honor of Sami-Odi taking the number 4 slot of James Suckling's "Top Australian Wines Of 2016." It's now had an additional 8 weeks rest in my cellar since I last sampled it shortly after its arrival to our shores. Wow! Inky purple color with a brooding nose of dark fruits , anise and sweet spices. Super silky tannins which perfectly compliment the dark fruits. A luxurious mouth feel bordering on savory-ness. Full-bodied and vibrant with beautiful structure. Lingering finish. This is not your classic/typical "sweet" Australian Shiraz ( my guess is that Fraser harvests rather early), but the fruit purity and overall structure speaks for itself. Congrats Fraser! I look forward to a long relationship. — 9 years ago
