Clos Les Montys Sur Lie Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2021

Excellent, even after accidentally freezing.
2021 throwback year to old more zingy Muscadet.
You can still get wonderful wine for $ 12.99.

Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2013

9.2

Hard to find fault w/this gorgeous offering: no signs of age, really inky & dense almost immediately strutting w/vivid black & red rich ripe berry fruit along side pleasing spice, cocoa, vanilla and a hi-toned note. Sure smooth and luxurious on palate w/sweet fruit mirroring nose along with just enough tannins not to be flabby or jammy. Finish was great but holding it back for higher scores. Sort of a throwback to Zins of the 90s that I fell in love with. — 4 years ago

Domaine du Nozay

Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Fancy seeing this in Malaysia. This wine's a throwback to when I first got into wine back in Australia. I can clearly remember being recommended this Sancerre by our local bottle shop as a study of the appellation. In hindsight, I can see why. Excellent typicity in this 2018 iteration - on the nose, ripe gooseberry and melon fruit, flint, and a grassy asparagus-like note. The palate's less overt, showing more grapefruit and green apple. It finishes a little "sweet" for my liking, but that's tamed by crisp acidity and a subtle stony character. While it doesn't bode well with my preference these days, this drinks well as a nice trip down memory lane. — 6 years ago

Bin 389 South Australia Cabernet Shiraz 2020

Bit of a throwback style here with lots of big #cabernetsauvignon #shiraz fruit aromas. Quite elegant on the palate but new oak is noticeable towards the end of the sip, though tannins are velvety. Could use at least half a decade more to integrate - this wine is built for the long haul. — a year ago
