Absolutely stunning. Words are tough to find to describe this beautiful example. Drinking perfectly now. Butterscotch, caramel and almonds define this. Finish is caressing with softish acidity. Drink these now if you have them.. — 2 months ago

I hear you. I enjoy seeing what you are drinking and would love to meet you in person. Delectable has been great about that and I will keep using it regardless. I’ve been fortunate to meet David and others of the wine Nerd Herd when they have been out here but lost touch so just wondered where they went, to reconnect.

@Norman Gennaro, let’s plan and connect. The wine nerds are very active and planning our 2023 in-person.

Rochioli

Little Hill Pinot Noir 2008

2008 vintage. Had never come across the "Little Hill" until today. Light-medium body. Decanted and was fairly musty for 2-3 minutes before it started to blossom. Some blue fruit/menthol/eucalyptus throughout the experience. Demonstrative spice component on the back end. Could really only ding this on being slightly "watery" on the front palate. Otherwise, this is kicking now and has plenty of life and love to give. 5.27.23 — 17 hours ago

Chappellet

Pritchard Hill Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Popped and poured; no formal notes. This 2006 Chappellet “Pritchard Hill” Cabernet Sauvignon was enjoyed alongside a 2001 St. Supery “Dollarhide” and a 2005 Beaulieu Vineyard “Georges De Latour”. All three were well stored examples from the same cellar. The 2006 “Pritchard Hill” is easily the biggest wine we enjoyed on this night. Big and bold with ripe (and maybe some stewed) black and red fruits, some tobacco, leather and baking spices. Good structure. An impressive wine for lovers of the more modern style of Napa Cabernet’s yet, there is something for all because the quality of the Pritchard Hill fruit is undeniable. Drink now and over the next 5-10 years. — a month ago

A nice Chardonnay, a little drier than previous years, but a good price point and I would buy again. — 2 months ago

Henschke

Hill of Grace Vineyard Shiraz 1998

Sunday lunch, where we always drink the best wine of the week. A perfect match with roast lamb. Lighter in colour than expected - almost transparent. Quite barnyard with the aromatics surprisingly with a little tobacco and dark chocolate. The opulent black fruits of its youth have transformed into a much more savoury wine after 25 years. This brings into question the age old query as to when to pop the cork on old wines. This was a terrific old wine but it left me thinking I would like a bit more fruit on the palate before those silky soft tannins. Still, it remains one of the world’s great wines in one of the most iconic vineyards with 140 year + old vines. The 2018 has just been released amid several 100 point scores and touted as one of the great H of G’s but at $950 I will pass. — 21 days ago

@ESF Certainly on my bucket list to visit the Hill of Grace vineyard with the old Lutheran Church. Will send shivers down one’s spine. See some of the excellent Henschke video clips.

Georgia's Paddock Shiraz 2021

A case of infanticide drinking this beautiful wine from Heathcote so early in its 15 to 20 year life. Generously shouted by friends at a French bistro in Melbourne. Brief notes. Trademark earthy and mineral notes with red fruits on nose and palate. Typically 15% ABV. 93 points for now but will develop to 95 plus. — 3 months ago
