Domaine de Thalabert Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2015

Beautiful glass filling nose with flowers and tar followed by dark bramble, smoke, leather and liquorice. Pretty chewy tannines and a long finish. Wine got very divergent notes and ratings on ct but I am liking this a lot. No blockbuster over extracted powerhouse but freshness and complexity. Very glad to have 5 more. — a month ago

Kanonkop Estate

Paul Sauer Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019

Nice South African wine dinner Wednesday at Angelo’s Cabarita on Sydney Harbour
Eight wines served with typical South African food so pairings were important as food can be quite spicy (Kingfish Crudo, Peri Peri Chicken, Bunny Chow Lamb Curry, Boerewors, Rib Eye and Malta Pudding)
The 2019 Kanonkop Paul Sauer Bordeaux blend from Magnum was excellent as was 2021 Meerlust Bordeaux blend as well as the 2017 Kanonkop Pinotage from Magnum. Also interesting was 2007 cold fermented Nederberg Edelkeur with the pud.
Great night.

Munjebel Terre Siciliane Bianco Carricante Blend

First time and quite an acquired taste. Long finish, profound straw color. Ginger, honey, stone fruit with a good amount of reduction. Good salinity. Decided to like it but not sure yet. Rare and happy to get 3 bottles. Leon and sons rock. — 11 days ago

Frank Family Vineyards

Carneros Chardonnay 2022

Tropical fruit aromas. Floral nose. Full bodied and well balanced. Tropical fruit, citrus, lemon flavors. Toasted Oak is balanced and does not distract from, or mask the fruit flavors. Nicely done.
