First taste - pretty good — 4 years ago

Schloss Gobelsburg

Tradition Riesling 2015

Easily the most enigmatic wine of this morning’s tasting. Briny, savory, ever-changing and shifting as I keep coming back to it. Everything from golden apple to tropical to green herbs and white flowers and dash of honey. The sum of its parts only merely suggests Riesling- I’ll admit I would have called this Loire Chenin. Beautiful wine with a unique identity and sense of place, produced from some of the oldest Riesling vines in the country. — 6 years ago

Between Two Mountains Pinot Noir 2022

At Andrew McConnell’s latest restaurant in Melbourne, Gimlet, which has some wow factor and a NewYork 1920’s like vibe. This Pinot is the new kid on the quality block in Australia. From the Macedon Ranges. Sweet black cherry fruit. Sous Bois. A long life ahead. — 4 months ago

Perrières Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

becoming an annual purchase, this bottle was sealed w a Diam 15 and fresh as a daisy. It’s in a good place. The bouquet is complex and expressive, keeps changing, evolving. Yellow-fruited, minerals and acid, but so together and refined. Very bright and classy, it finishes very long and clean. I just hold a mouthful on the tongue and palate and there’s a continual parade of fireworks. Really delicious. — 3 years ago

Palmalias Sardegna Vermentino 2017

Clean, fresh, fruity, mild fennel in the air of the terroir. Very nice. Think clean concentrated golden fruit notes from drying winds, not hot sun baked fruit. When served too cold, fruit and stainless is concentrated, and could be mistaken for mild oxidation. Good on its own, but, fruit floral and honey notes emerge when paired with mild vegetable such as sweet peas, pairing with fresh fennel could be awesome. alcohol becomes more in focus with fish and fats, and umami aspects of fat are amplified slightly. Theres something about the soil notes, but cant place it, not sandy not volcanic... good healthy clean soil — 5 years ago

Annus Horribilis Pinot Noir 2020

At a good French restaurant in Sydney - Franca Brasserie. Place of Changing Winds is the brainchild of Robert Walters, one of the leading importers of Fine Wine into Australia - IFW. This is his local venture based in the Macedon Ranges, to the immediate north of Melbourne. Specialising in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. 2020 as a vintage is well described on the label as “Annus Horribilis”. Terrible weather including a freak frost meant only 100 dozen bottles were produced. As often happens in these difficult vintages the resulting wine was very good - pretty and perfumed yet structured and fine boned at the same time. Looking forward to trying more bottles from this ultra boutique winery. — 8 months ago

Ma Danseuse Pinot Noir 2013

Savory nose. Bright red fruit lingers from attack through finish, changing shapes and perspectives along the way. Oak is subtle but darkness of tannin seem out of place. — 3 years ago

Changing lanes with this Oregon pinot. Spellbinding notes of dark chocolate and sandalwood on the nose. Wonderful poise and grace on the palette. The entry is soft and graceful with redcurrants, strawberries and rhubarb sailing on. Tannins and acidity are fused together nicely. A very elegant, precise showing which won’t evolve to a better place, so consume this vintage now. — 7 years ago

Yes @Hugh O'Riordan. I have a statistics conference in Feb. I’m torn between the wineries or snowboarding 🏂 I think my plank of wood is gonna win, tho. But I agree with your point. This is a great producer.

@Kelly Rathbun, I strongly suggest that you get after it very soon. It’s not going to evolve to a better place from here.
