Dusky Sounds

Dusky Goose

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2013

Found a restaurant gem. 2013 vintage in 2025.

Leather and smoke. Earthy, old world wine. Then, a bit of berries and smooth finish. Great dinner wine. Could pair with almost anything.

Quite unique. Sort of a dusky/earthy dark cherry nose, light and lively and dark in the mouth. Has some Pinot character, but a bit darker. Long finish. — 5 years ago

Clos Chanteduc

Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend 2013

Lovely ruby, dusky red color. Aroma is rich, robust and rustic. Rose petals from the English and rain storms from the French. Some fresh red and black berries from the mountains as well. Flavor is herbs and blood oranges. Damask rose and cherry nectar. Dry, acid, perfumed and herbal, but dynamic and flavorful. It’s strange and hard to pigeon hole, but unique, exquisite and interesting as well. ‘Tis what makes wine so. It’d be fun to taste more of this kinda thing. — 6 years ago

Ravera Barolo Nebbiolo 2016

Wine prices in Tokyo tend to be expensive but this was about $200 AUD. Probably sounds dear but when you’re here that’s not too bad. Medium crimson in colour. Just medium bodied - red fruited with cherry, strawberry and earthy silty notes. On the palate went well with a Grade 4 Waygu steak which was very expensive but it was a good match. All very satisfying. From a good vintage in Piedmont. The photo is from the Delectable library but the vintage we had was 2016. — 9 months ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2013

Dusky at first. Fruit appears with air. Quite dry with smooth Tannins at this age. Some graphite in the fragrance initially but opens into a wonderfully complex fragrance. June 2022. — 3 years ago

Ragnaie V.V. Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

We are celebrating a 21 year old and someone who is . . .uh, older (me!). Pulled out this Italian red to complement homemade lasagna and our family dish called Italian delight. Decanted for over an hour. Modest spice, tobacco, cherry, dry blackberry, and has a slight burn - which sounds bad but it is actually a great finish on this wine. Light red and purple colors that give a slight reminder of a Pinot but tastes much heavier. Loved having this along with a great Bordeaux tonight!! — 4 years ago
