Veuve Fourny & Fils
Cuvée R Extra-Brut Champagne Blend
Exceptional Fizz! Veuve Fornay Cuvée R does it in style! Stunning grower Champagne. Every so often you come across a Champagne that has such great fruit quality that you wonder if it would be just as good or better without the bubbles in it. This baby doesn't hide behind sugar or winemaking trickery. With only 3g/l sugar it's super dry! 90% Chardonnay with a splash of Pinot from some great vineyards. It's barrel fermented and aged for about 9 months prior to spending 4 years on lees in bottle. The efforts of working with barrels and taking time to age base wines in them have paid off. It's a full on style, a real food wine, so much personality. Incredibly length and depth! Great flavours and plenty of intrigue. At $67 a bottle it punches well above it's weight.
This one makes it 3 great wines from 3 for Veuve Fornay all different all with personality!

E. Guigal
Château d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2007
A gem. Not much else to say. Drinking perfectly. Tertiary notes are developed but it hasn't lost any fruit or any of its beautiful aromatics. #coterotie #ampuis #filthygoodvino #syrah #rhonegiants #rhônoyoudidnt — 11 years ago
Produttori del Barbaresco
Langhe Nebbiolo 2012
2012 Langhe! Sombrero a heap of animal a bit raw & bretty with an edge of spritz! Produttori solid, spend 2x & buy some 2010 Produttori Barbaresco instead, it's a cracker! #wine #langhe #Nebbiolo #FilthyGoodVino — 11 years ago
Elefante
Vino de la Tierra de Castilla Tempranillo Shiraz 2012
Elefante cheap & cheerful wine of the line up for a tenner! Blend of Temperanillo & Shiraz opulent, juicy easy drinker. Pass on the Don Ramon Campo de Bargo, at $12 hard over the top & no fun even with a lamb chop! La Montessa just a bit hidden in the line up, didn't shine through. #Wine #SpanishWine #Tempranillo #FilthyGoodVino — 11 years ago

Castello di Monsanto
Riserva 50th Harvest Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2012
A few rustic Chianti's on the deck @boccacciocellars today! The same, but, different to the Isole wines from a couple of weeks ago.
2013 Chianti Classico looking raw, needs time to settle. Some chewing texture demanding food.
2012 Chianti Classico Riserva, a hard edge, structure supported by a splash in some new oak. Solid core of fruit and some funk. Again one to watch.
2013 Il Poggio a density not present in the others. Fruit depth handling the oak beautifully. Refined texture, plenty of yumminess! Can't wait for the 2012 ... Birth year wine for my first!

Bodegas Alejandro Fernández
Pesquera Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2011
Tempranillo festa continues! Pesquera at $40 looking Bretty, sappy & hard. Protocolo a new world style. Good value at $14. Muga Riserva most refined of the set. Plenty of Yumminess at $45. #Wine #SpanishWine #Tempranillo #FilthyGoodVino — 11 years ago
Mildara
Cabernet Shiraz Malbec 1966
3yrs old & she can pick 'em already! #FilthyGoodVino #Wine 66 Mildara looking sharp. Madiran Bretty & as tannic as it should be. Echezeau too young, a steel for the $50 I paid for it! An eclectic collection today! — 11 years ago
Domaine Bernard Moreau & Fils
La Maltroie Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2007
Cellar reconciliation time! Raveneau in Moreau out & into the GLASS! #FilthyGoodVino #domainbernardmoreau #chassagnemontrachet Great depth & length, the nutty, biscuity undertones of an extend ferment with the mid palate weight to match. Juicy acid with great delicacy to match what is in reality a very full bodies wine. A gift from Alex when we visited back in 2009. — 12 years ago
Luke Lambert
Yarra Valley Nebbiolo 2012
Luke Lambert 2012 Yarra Valley Nebbiolo. Loaded with personality & character. Along with Arrivo showing the potential of Neb in Aus. The value question is the one that needs to be answered when you can get Voerzio Langhe & Vietti Perbacco for under $50. Lambert's Neb is heaps of fun. Yeah there's some slightly aggressive mid palate tannin that needs food to soften it. Overall an Aussie Neb to watch. If he can get the fruit & tannin length I'll be back. Thanks for bringing the tube @bendid #Nebbiolo #FilthyGoodVino #YarraValley #LukeLambert #RealWine — 11 years ago
Clonakilla
Canberra District Riesling 2015
2015 Clonakilla Rizza every but as good as everyone is saying! Sublime juicy acid & refined texture! Great to have a bit locked away for Jasmine. 2010 Prodottori perfect as usual. Can't believe it's a sub-$30 wine in Europe! #FilthyGoodVino #Clonakilla #Riesling #Barbaresco #Nebbiolo #RealWine — 11 years ago
Isole e Olena
Cepparello Toscana Sangiovese 2012
A couple of Sangiovese's on the deck today!
2012 Isole e Olena Chianti Classico old school style, respecting the fruit. Savoury yumminess, layering up sour cherries with a refined texture & an edge of acid that would cut the fat of a Bisteccca Fiorentina perfectly. $35.
2010 Cepparello Brooding almost inky core of fruit holding its own in competition with an edge of new oak. Great to see it under Screwcap. Needs time. $99.

Yabby Lake Vineyard
Single Block Release Block 2 Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir 2013
Bottle Empty! Onto the Bunny! 2013 @yabbylake Block 2 Pinot Noir looking better on day 2 after decanting into a half bottle! Opened & softened with a hit of air! Be intrigued to see how it evolves over the next 5 years! #FilthyGoodVino — 11 years ago
