Condrieu Lône Millésime Viogner 2015

2015 vintage. Yah…decade-old Condrieu at $32.10 a bottle resto cost. Mix of premier cru Chablis and Pernand-Vergelesses bod at this point. Believe the artist formerly known as Prince tossed up a track that fairly encapsulated this wine…Sexy MF. Picked up the last four cases of this to pour by the glass via Coravin likely starting around Thanksgiving. And it would go well with a ton of that holiday grubadubdub. Twould be great if posters could actually spell Viognier correctly. Probs asking for the bleeping moon here. 9.16.25. — a month ago

The Virgilius Eden Valley Viognier 2018

See previous note 105 weeks ago. Australia’s premier example of a straight Viognier. Notes of Apricot and Honeysuckle. Quite luscious on the palate with low acid. Finishes with a skinnsy bitter note which is quite refreshing. — 3 months ago

@Bob McDonald, I’ve never heard of this wine, and I have visited Yalumba twice (albeit about 35 years ago) — how large is the production of this wine?

@Doug Powers Yalumba had been trialling Viognier for a while before releasing it commercially. They consider this as their premium white wine. I wouldn’t think it is a huge production but Dr Google may have the answers.

The Octavius Barossa Old Vine Shiraz 2019

Lot more concentrated than 2018. Probably missing a bit of balance at this stage. But great and well crafted wine — a year ago

The Octavius Barossa Shiraz 1993

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours and seemed to only gain momentum until the last sip. The 1993 Octavius pours a deep ruby/purple color with an opaque core moving towards a slightly garnet rim; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated black and blue fruits: blackberries, plums, blueberries, leather, graphite, black olive, dried purple flowers, dried green herbs, a mix of decomposing organic and inorganic earth, along with some gentle baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin (integrated) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, luxurious and savory with loads of umami. This represented one of the older Australian wines I've ever had and I thought it was fantastic. Drink now through 2033. — 3 months ago
