Miracles

Château de Sales

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

At 25 years I thought this might be over the hill. Initially mute and astringent. Time in the decanter did miracles. Nieces called it green olive, sweet fig, and cave (wet moldy grey cave)…. Nailed it! — 15 days ago

Côtes du Jura Chardonnay Savagnin 2015

Youngish at sub 10 I suppose for a sav/chard under flor, but this is orgasmic. Worrying feeling ethat 2015 was a sub par year (cold? Wet?) And yet, here we are. Manzanilla salt lick at the end after a second or two is the party piece, apricots, smokey almonds, and all the usual Jura good things beneath. Was introduced to this by the sommelier in spanglais, with me deploying my most broken franglais. Miracles do happen. — 3 years ago

Memory failed me, 2015 a decent vintage for Ch and sav. Makes sense!

Noon Winery

Familia Silva Branco

Douro Tinto 2018

2018 vintage. Douro red. Família Silva Branco. Aged 18 months in French oak. Dark red. A bit oak at first, but 5 minutes in the glass work miracles. Good fruit and spices, fresh acidity and well-tamed tannins. While the oak is integrated, I personally would like to see it toned down a bit. — 2 years ago

Château Gros Moulin

Côtes de Bourg Malbec Blend 2019

2019 vintage. Another winner from this estate. Oak is still slightly dominant at first, but decanting does miracles as these wines are build to age. Stunning complexity and length for this price range. Definitely one of the finest values in the whole of Bordeaux!. — 4 years ago

Boudreaux Cellars

Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

This wine just received a 97 rating at RP and it is truly outstanding. So even in Washington State with its dreadful climate miracles are possible. — 8 months ago

Future For Miracles Viognier Syrah 2020

This is the 2020 which doesn’t have Viognier added. 100% Syrah. Needs time. Will wait a few more years to open my other bottle. — 3 years ago

Innocent Bystander

Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2019

An old favourite but not quite as stellar as I remember it from the 2015 vintage. Still good though. Blueberry and boysenberry. Sandalwood, some subtle oak and a feeling of dusty candystore. Good acidity and a couple of years can probably work miracles. — 4 years ago
