Bin 600 California Cabernet Shiraz 2021

Blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley and 15% Shiraz from Paso Robles, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, cigar box and herb spice. On the palate flavors of ripe cherry and blackberry with notes of cinnamon, vanilla and cacao. Medium+ finish, fine tannins, lively acidity ending with fruit, toasty oak and herb pepper notes. Very nice! — 19 days ago

Grange South Australia Shiraz 1997

Opened and double decanted several hours prior to service; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 1997 Grange pours a deep purple color with an opaque core moving towards a ruby rim; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart black, red and some blue fruits: blackberries, raspberries, Fig Newtons, tobacco, purple flowers, cocoa, coffee, some mint and other green herbs as well as earth and baking spices. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is so long and there is remarkable density. I would say this is entering its early drinking window, but just barely. I find these wines need decades to shed their fat and really start to strut. Regardless, this is delicious now with a healthy decant and should drink well through 2057 without breaking a sweat. — a month ago

St. Henri Shiraz 2012

We had the 2012 Vintage on 2/14-15/25. An excellent Syray with tastes of blackberry, plum, mocha, leather and spice. As time went on the bouquet developed eucalyptus. Full bodied, New World. Fruit forward. I’m glad I gave it 13 years in the bottle. — 6 days ago

Magill Estate Shiraz 1990

It’s Australia 🇦🇺 Day today 26th Jan and this represents the commencement of wine development in Australia
Established by Dr Christopher Penfold in 1844 the vineyard was planted with cuttings brought from England
The family home was called the Grange.
Double decanted and given time to open. At 35 yrs young this will definitely develop further.
Single Magill Estate Shiraz was first created in 1983.
Dr Penfold originally planted vines to produce tonics to treat ailments like anemia and his wife developed table wines - the family eventually listed the business on the Exchange but lost control in 1970s
Must say Penfolds have been producing good ‘medicinal’ tonics for about 180 years 🤗

Bin 28 Shiraz 2019

Toasty new oak, ripe black fruits, structured, just a touch of heat in the finish, I’ve been buying and drinking the Bin 28 for over 40 years, I know it’s no longer all Barossa fruit, but it’s just so consistent and always very fine!! — a month ago
