2018 Bodega Chacra ChardonnayPatagonia more |
3/20/2022 - kingkanu wrote: NRInteresting range of notes on this wine. I found it somewhere between new world and burgundy, some oak, quite fruit driven with citrus and orchard fruit but with good tension and acidity. Quite impressive at this early stage as you would hope with its price tag. Should keep and improve for a number of years. |

2001 Brokenwood Shiraz GraveyardHunter Valley more |
5/29/2010 - kingkanu wrote: 90 pointsShowing a little bottle age this was a nicely balanced Aussie Shiraz, there were some leather notes along with the dark fruit nose, the palate had lively brambles and soft dark plums plus a twang of farmyard, it's quite similar to a quality Rhone, I thought it had some similarity to a beaucastel 2003 which I tried the previous night, at 13.5% this was a very restrained and poised bottle, very good and very enjoyable |
