Dash Farms Leanganook Chardonnay 2023
Wendouree
Pressings Malbec 1997
It started with wisteria violet and a big fruit
Developed with liquorice, gunpowder, graphite, roasted chestnuts, chickpeas, curry, forest floor, apple crumble, tobacco, leather, rose, cured meats, cardamom
Intense and very persistent
Maybe the freshness is not its first quality, but an amazing complexity
Fading from its peak perhaps too, but still very enjoyable, fascinating and interesting — 8 years ago

Villa Diamante
Vigna della Congregazione Fiano di Avellino 2015
Extremely young but having tasted so many vintages of this wine I tell u the flavour The FLAVOUR!!!!!
Great freshness but also tickling with minerality
U can already tell complexity starting to build up
From camomile to violets or wisteria,
Smoked, mushroom and clay,
Orange peel;
Hazelnut and marzipan,
Ginger biscuit
Some how a bit of MoU caramel
Infinite substance ever changing.....
Thanks Antoine Gaita (I can still feel him in the wine)and family — 9 years ago
Lake Breeze Vineyards
Okanagan Valley Pinot Noir 2013
Kirsch-soaked sponge cake with sharp green chives. In a children's playground bordered with wisteria. Or those double-flavor packs of Nerds from the corner store. Excellent. — 9 years ago

So much going on as well as so much fun.

Daisies, chamomile, Jasmine and wisteria .
An array of herbs from bay leaves to rosemary and oregano. Candied ginger. Rice, hop and kombucha which leads to green tea.
Super fresh and zingy minerality.
Long too.

Wendouree
A.P. Birks Clare Valley Malbec 2008
It never ends to amaze me this wine
Nose is a little reticent
Medium body
I hope the bottle in front of me gets till tomorrow to see the differences
Texturally is so outstanding that you can tell is on a different level
From blueberry to black currants
Violet, wisteria and jasmine even orange blossoms I dare
A bunch of mixed Mediterranean herbs
Gunpowder, pencils lead, a bit of tar.
Soy and watermelon are there like someone mentioned in a review of a 1990 Malbec
Silky tannin present, but absolutely not disturbing
I ‘d be surprised if I don’t finish this bottle
Fresh and too easy to drink✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️ — 8 years ago
Enfield Wine Co.
Haynes Vineyard Chardonnay 2014
Lemon curd, wisteria, post-rain walk in the woods, and apple pie. High quality apple pie, for sure! John Lockwood makes killer juice. — 9 years ago
Loring Wine Company
Clos Pepe Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013
In the context of its value, this is a blockbuster Pinot Noir and quintessential of what Brian Loring does. I'm in agreement with Josh Raynolds take of "...red fruit preserves, incense, minerals and wisteria. Stains the palate with intense raspberry liqueur and floral pastille flavors..." That said, Allen Meadows does well in pointing out the "...lower register aromas of plum, dark berries and earth nuances." I will add that this has "pop" or "verve" or "tension" that puts all these flavors on blast. — 9 years ago
Château Léoville Barton
Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1996
Oyster brine, dark fruits, violets, wisteria, pansies, plum skins, river stone, a touch of wet paint. Sardines, but in a good way, if you can dig it. A little smoked paprika. — 10 years ago
Romanelli
Montefalco Rosso Sangiovese Blend 2012
Medium/full bodied and pretty dry, dried violets and wisteria, ripe cherries and plums, some licorice and cedar, pleasantly astringent. From Shawn's. — 10 years ago
Château-Grillet (Neyret-Gachet)
Viognier 2008
Too good to be true
Benchmark Viogner
It had the apricot, the violet
I'd say poetically it felt like an aperitif below a huge wisteria plant🤔🤫
Marvelous balance
Superlong finish
Nothing more to say, just taste it if u can — 7 years ago
Thanks🙏
Red Newt Cellars
Sawmill Creek Vineyards Gewürztraminer 2010
BIG nose of honey, melon and wisteria flowers. Strong flavors of lychee, minerals, melon, spices and honey. Hint of sweetness. Lots going on in this white, but even though it is busy, it is well balanced. Pleasantly oxidized with a short finish. Memorable FLX Gewurtz.. — 7 years ago
Franz Hirtzberger
Singerriedel Smaragd Riesling 2009

Honey and hay
Blonde tobacco, white choc
Macadamia, nutmeg, ginger, little pistachio as well, turmeric
The palate is pristine
Full, but easy
Heaps of mineral in the aftertaste
Extremely long
Definitely my favourite Wachau vineyard and producer
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Still ten to fifteen years ahead — 8 years ago
Grosset
Polish Hill Clare Valley Riesling 2012
Delicious
Very floral
Violet, wisteria, orange blossom.
Little cardamom, sesame seeds
Cashew
Great acidity and minerality
Long aftertaste
Still young — 9 years ago
I am surprised
I would think it could be due to the trip the bottles go through
They are real good though
I just find a little funny with Riesling the way someone enjoys the fruit driven ones rather than older versions
I personally like them both, but prefer the Grosset ones not too old( sometimes I had old wines getting too sweet). Don't trust the wine guides, drink them they will be fantastic now( who knows about tomorrow)
Ps let me know about the '02
Koppamurra
Cabernet Sauvignon 1998
Had it April 2010.
Concentrated ruby with purple edge.
Red and violet flowers (wisteria), sour cherry, ink, leather, iodine, black olives, tobacco.
Taste: blood orange, marine, eucalyptus bark, velvety and full, after taste of chestnut and balsamic. Excellent tannin. Savoury, irony, intense, maybe it is a little weak in the centre of the mouth. Long anyway.
Very interesting, still young.
Vineyard sold in 2003 to Tappanappa(Croser/Lynch Bages), now called whalebone vineyard I believe.
Wrattonbully is situated just north of Coonawarra.

Widow's Peak
Stagecoach Road Fort Ross Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012
"The Stagecoach Road cuvée is sourced from the blocks located where the old Stagecoach road used to run through our vineyard and where the famous Highwayman Black Bart robbed the Wells Fargo Bank Stagecoach in 1877. This wine has a deep garnet color and combines aromas of blueberry, violets, hints of wisteria blossom, anise and mocha. On the palate it is layered with black currants, black cherry and fleshy black plums."
Needs time to open up. Very perfumed and well built. It will last another 10 years for sure. — 11 years ago
Ceccherini Cristiano
After a while a very interesting wine
Same vineyard that uses Joshua Cooper too for one of his chardy.
Quite fleshy without being oaky at all
Very expressive
It started off resembling a Chassagne-Montrachet
After a while thw aromatics are full on
It nearly feels like you are drinking a high-end viogner with a precise scent of violet and wisteria
Very long and elegant
Lookout for this guy — 3 months ago
