The Ball Buster Barossa Valley Old Vines Shiraz Blend 2021

Deep purple in color; chocolate, blackberries, and earth on the nose; medium plus acidity; high tannins; tastes like black currant, black pepper, and eucalyptus with a long finish. I think it will improve with a good decant.

After decanting for about 30 minutes, I smell chocolate, black plums, and graphite. I taste black currant, blackberries, eucalyptus, and a hint of black pepper. It's much more in balance. Very tasty.

Bright, some wafting black pepper spice, purple fruit, bubble gum, smoke. Some granite. Very gentle and pleasing on the palate. Good juiciness and acidity. — 2 years ago

Albahra Garnacha Tintorera 2022

Bonkers good. Beaujolais meets Grenache! Raspberries, earth, bubble gum, good tannin, cherries. Just lovely. So crushable but also complex. Will definitely look for more of this in the future. — 2 months ago

"Love You Bunches" Carbonic Sangiovese 2020

Blind Date wine! Blind tasting notes: "Bright ruby red, candied red fruits, jolly rancher and bubble gum. Low acid, low tannin, slightly effervescent. The food pairing suggestion makes us think Italy, but the fruitiness and low acid and tannin makes us think Not Italy." Soooo tasty with a BLT and pasta salad with tomato and basil. — 3 years ago

Millésime Brut Champagne Blend 2008

A very complete nose of brioche, citrus and apple pie. In the mouth air is needed to really give this a chance to strut its stuff. Prominent but not overwhelming acid at first but an hour of air makes this as round as a beach ball. The palate starts to duplicate the nose with an hour or so of time. Another positive ‘08 champagne ,with upside from here. — 3 years ago

Gallice Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016

Friend house warming. Recent discovery of cabernet blend in beechworth is pretty good. Vanilla and chalky mineral. Abit of white paper feel. there is also some blue fruit and floral taste like pomerol. Quite smooth and elegant but still got some background bitter taste. Plum sweet — 2 years ago

Black Ball Champagne Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay 2007

Nice Wednesday keto bottle, with some pesto topped barramundi
K&L notes,

This Champagne is composed of juice from all old vine Grand Cru grapes on property that used to belong to Krug right in the Cotes de Blanc… so you know they’re working with great land and great fruit. The nose is earthy, almost a little sandy toned, but there’s also good fresh fruit here with scents of citrus peel and Golden Delicious apples. The mouthfeel is soft and supple with a great apple/pear balance that becomes more intense in fruitiness and even borders on tropical flavors before coming to a gradual vanilla finish.
