2004 Katnook Estate Chardonnay

Drinking well with detailed tangerine and yellow peach as the dominance flavors, good acid balance and no bitterness at all. Should keep another year or three.

2004 The Willows Vineyard Shiraz

Barossa Valley more

6/27/2023 - AlexGarner Likes this wine: 92 points

Dark red, almost black with no hint of bricking. An earthy and vegetal nose with dark blue fruits and cake spice with a eucalyptus note. The palate is rich with super smooth tannins and a kick of alcohol but plenty of brambly fruit, leather and tar. This will go for a long time yet. Nice to see a reasonably priced Barossa Shiraz developing so well after 10 years.

2000 Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga Fontalloro

Toscana IGT Sangiovese more

This wine is still so fresh and approachable with beautiful acidity and delicate tannins. I was very worried that this would be past it’s prime but it’s drinking beautifully and I wish this wasn’t my last bottle. The nose is full of black forest fruit and spice with a dark earthy finish and acidic/mineral balance.

Shaw Wines member's lounge tasting with Ryan and Alicia (Shaw Wines cellar door): Beautiful older characteristics of kerosene balanced with the florals that you can see in the younger vintages of this wine. There is also a kind of furniture polish aspect to the nose which I really like. The palate is long and full of ripe fruits, especially stone fruit.
