Introduction
Daniel finally got out of Melbourne so it was time to get together, have a feed and a few drinks.
Flight 1 (6 Notes)
Closing
Needless to say things got a little messy and notes were not taken so these are my 'morning after' recollections through a haze of happiness
2016 Domaine du Moulin (Hervé Villemade) Cour-Cheverny Les Saules
France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Cour-Cheverny
This was all almond meal, marzipan, honey, citrus, fresh, waxy textured. Lovely

2021 Krinklewood Sémillon
Australia, New South Wales, Hunter Valley, Broke Fordwich
More in the green apple spectrum than lemon and lime for me, the acidity controlled, young, simple.

2018 Callejuela La Choza (Macharnudo)
Spain, Andalucía, Vino de Mesa de Andalucía
The flor was more to the fore in this bottle, the acidity a little sharp and the wine slightly 'skinny'...Touches of salinity, green almond as well. Nice.

1985 Château Vray Croix de Gay
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
Softly engaging, still with fresh plummy fruit, touches of leather, sweet spice, breadth on the mid palate, weight is more Burgundian though, this is very good, all travels long.

2009 Château Figeac
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
Woof. Red and blackberry, plum, currants, caramel, polished oak, tannins are grippy but all is integrated, balanced and long. Absolutely lovely but still very primary.

2017 Krinklewood VAT 48
Australia, New South Wales, Hunter Valley, Broke Fordwich
After the two Bordeaux's this proved exceedingly lightweight. Fruit forward but still savoury, pretty but the complete lack of tannin and structure is a bit of a surprise.
