 | 2016 Metala Shiraz - Cabernet | 7/29/2018 | Avid Wino | 89 |
Mulberry, blackberry, some black currant, spice, dark chocolate, liquorice. Hint of eucalypt, less than many vintages. Fleshy. A tad soupy. Kittens tongue lick of tannin. Not quite the expected freshness and focus and energy. Still, a very good drink and at less than $10 a ridiculous, even ludicrous, bargain. (1623 views) | ||||
 | 2013 De Bortoli Noble One Botrytis Sémillon | 7/28/2018 | Avid Wino | 92 |
Marmalade, toffee, apricot, green apple, cinnamon, fresh citrus to balance the sweetness, and so much more besides. Luscious and rich. Heaps of length. Score a stab in the dark. (2669 views) | ||||
 | 2004 Tyrrell's Sémillon Single Vineyard Belford | 7/28/2018 | Avid Wino | 93 |
Fabulous to drink. Vanilla, lemon meringue pie, a white peppery spiciness, lanolin. Weighty. Superb shape and balance. Enough length. Beginning to enter its prime is my guess... and it is a guess as I’ve never tasted an older screwcapped Hunter sem than this one. Was starting to tire six hours from opening FWIW. (755 views) | ||||
| 2017 Seppelt Shiraz Hundredweight Hill | 7/21/2018 | Avid Wino | 90 |
Cherry, plum, raspberry, dark chocolate, spice. Excellent balance and enough length... Talc like tannins on a dry savoury finish. Not in your face but quality. Last year’s was labelled Heathcote, this one also has fruit from the Grampians and Bendigo. Very Chalambar. Just over the line for 90. (1374 views) | ||||
| 2010 Hoddles Creek Pinot Noir 1er | 7/15/2018 | Avid Wino | 92 |
Sous bois. Cherry, strawberry. Some earth, chocolate. Slippery and sinewy, superb feel and balance, excellent length. Shadowed by a definite woodiness... the only thing holding this back from higher points.... will it resolve in time? Looking at my past notes, I scored the 2010 Estate Pinot Noir higher just last year... curious. (747 views) | ||||
| 2017 De Bortoli Chardonnay Windy Peak | 7/15/2018 | Avid Wino | 88 |
Florals on the nose. Stone fruits, mango, citrus. A creaminess to the texture. 88 or better... quick small glass, the rest is going in a recipe... that said, would happily drink more of this! (416 views) | ||||
| 2015 d'Arenberg The Stump Jump Grenache Shiraz Mourverde | 7/14/2018 | Avid Wino | 89 |
Raspberry, blueberry, plum, confectionary, spice, black pepper, bit of grip. Improving after a couple of hours air. (825 views) | ||||
| 2017 De Bortoli Shiraz Windy Peak | 7/8/2018 | Avid Wino | 88 |
Dark berries, plums, rusty nails, blood. Jubiness. Fleshy, bit of grip. (269 views) | ||||
| 2015 Majella The Musician | 7/1/2018 | Avid Wino | 91 |
Currants, red berries, mint, leather, grip. Lovely balance. Excellent length. On tonight’s showing, the best vintage of the Musician that I have tried, and a red I’d be happy to drink any day. Can’t hurt that this one’s had an extra year in bottle compared to when I often crack one open. (1418 views) | ||||
