Noble One Botrytis Sémillon 2013

From half bottle. Generally regarded as Australia’s best “sticky “ (dessert style). Colour getting darker (burnished copper). Drank some with plum pudding on Christmas Day and finished it yesterday with Duck Pate and crackers, having returned from a week in Mossman and the Daintree in FNQ. Aromas of Apricot and over ripe pear. A generous mid palate with diminished acid. Time to drink this. Only 10.5% ABV. — a month ago

@Peter van den Besselaar That’s quite the accolade Peter but I wouldn’t be keeping it for many more years.

@Bob McDonald thanks. After tasting 2001 six years ago, I was determined to lay this in the cellar. I bought 2014. Will try this year.

@Bob McDonald, jealous about your excursion to the Daintree, love that area. There is a tea plantation there that I love called Daintree Tea, volcanic soil, that I’m able to get in California (at one time a SD sales agent, now direct from the estate)!! Thanks for mentioning the Daintree!!

Vin de Terroir Granite Crown Syrah Blend 2000

Opening granite crown is always a treat. So much warmth and spice left in it, a marvel as this was the first vintage that Gideon bottled I believe — 2 months ago

Cuvée du Terroir des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 2023

Had the 2023 in December of 2025. Paired with beef burgundy and was most enjoyable. Fruits-cherry and berry. Silky smooth tannins. Hint (?) of spice on the end. Plan to get a couple more bottles of this next time I go to Costco. Especially at the price point! — 2 months ago
