Sweet toffee, lovely citrus fruits, and dried Sunmaid raisins as well, suave, balanced, rich sweet flavors, such a lovely, easy-drinking sweet dessert wine, also Level 2 “Classic” like the Chambers from last night, excellent!! — 10 months ago

Hello old friend. Smooth and violety with bright red and black fruit! Red licorice, pepper, star anise, all spice. All in all, fucking delicious. A beautiful cool climate Shiraz, not too jammy. I haven't had this in a long time, and it's very welcome in these trying times — 7 years ago

Howard Park & Campbells Rutherglen Muscat

9.3

Another outstanding Muscat fortified that is so clean, so smooth, so easy to drink, without any of the occasional “harshness/alcohol” of tawny/vintage ports, that before one knows it, a 375-ml bottle can be toast — it takes incredible self-restraint to not blow through this stuff, it’s that good!! Just lovely!!

[This lovely fortified Muscat is from grapes grown by Howard Park in Margaret River, which was in turn vinified and raised by Campbell’s of Rutherglen!!] — a year ago

@Bob McDonald , yes, we did, they were pouring a 2019 Reserve Cabernet which was extremely impressive, and not sure which Riesling we tried, but it was also quite nice.

Are you familiar with Corymbia in Margaret River? Had a GREAT visit and tasting with Rob and Genevieve on Monday, their Cabernet was outstanding and, fortunately, they do export to the U.S. (in very limited quantities). I’m sure you’ll recognize their last name — Mann — Rob is the 4th generation winemaker, and Gen is a winemaker as well (Rob made wine for Newton in Napa in the 2010s).

Yes Doug, I am familiar with Rob Mann and have met him a couple of times. Firstly when he had a brief stint with Cape Mentelle. I have not tasted any wines from Corymbia but they have been universally applauded by all the expert commentators.

@Bob McDonald , I guessed as much, but figured just in case. . . . Cheers!!!
