Tasted Friday, June 20, 2014 by StefanAkiko with 540 views
A gang of 6 OT's and us gathered with some wine and just let go for a fabulous evening.
Lasted us the first ~3 courses (of 12).
What a treat!
The Oz Shiraz shook us all with it's colossal constitution and pleasurable balance. All wines performed well, so all the more reason to just be happy!
Couldn't be a better ending than Namae-san's desert and 2001 Guiraud...
The Aussie Shiraz was a monumental wine this evening. And in the spirit of Northern Swedish Traditions we ended the evening with a 'nubbe'. Not having access to the real thing, we chose Grappa as a substitute. It also worked well.

Nothing to write home about. Pink grapefruit aromas, very youthful, fruity (like eating sweet grapes). The wine is also somewhat sweet, not unlike Swedish white BiB's.
Quite delicious and was fine for the first plates.
