2012 Watson Family Vineyards NebbioloMargaret River more |
10/20/2017 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 90 pointsTypical Nebbiolo flavours, dark fruit, intense Tannins. I should have waited longer opening it. Closed on the first day, more open 2 days later. Would have been a better drink in a few years. Very typical for the variety. |

2009 Spinifex Durif D.R.S. VineyardBarossa Valley more |
10/15/2017 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 94 pointsVery nice wine indeed. Full bouquet of dark berry flavours, followed by a very balanced aftertaste. The most elegant expression of a Durif I have come across. Very nice with Lamb cutlets. Still somewhat closed up and should benefit from further cellaring. I have pulled my other 2 bottles to the back of the rack to forget about them for another few years. |

2003 Knipser Cuvée XPfalz Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/15/2017 - Hilzi wrote: 88 pointsA bit disapointing. Strong acidity. It opened up after a few hours in the open bottle (patience rewarding with Knipser wines). A typical Bordeaux characteristic came through, but fruit wasn't enough anymre to cope with acidity. I'll drink up my other 2 bottles soon. Probably past its peak |

1991 Tenuta San Leonardo Terre di San LeonardoVigneti delle Dolomiti IGT Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/13/2017 - Hilzi wrote: 92 pointsWow- the bottle was holding up very well! Classic Bordaux-blend Aromas, but with a distinct cold climate touch. The wine holds itself up very well still, but should be drunk in next 1-2 years. No tannins anymore, pleasant fruit aromas and strong acidity. |

2013 Brackenwood Vineyard ShirazAdelaide Hills more |
10/9/2017 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 89 pointsFull bodied Shiraz, as grapes were dried after harvest (like an Amarone). But paired with good acidity and decent wood handling. Drinks well now, but still has some life in it. |

2006 Anima Negra ÀnVi de La Tierra Mallorca Callet more |
10/7/2017 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 91 pointsIntense, vibrant fruit, medium body. A bit acidic in the nose, but very nicely integrated on the palate. Long aftertaste. Alcohol is noticeable, but doesn't stand out too much. Very nice to drink now, but still has some life in it. |

2002 Kaesler Old Vine ShirazBarossa Valley more |
10/4/2017 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 90 pointsFull on, as you can expect from a Barossa Shiraz. Even after 15 years, still very intense dark fruit, which carries the vanilla/wood aromas with grace and ease. Unfortunately quite alcoholic in the end. Opened up nicely after leaving it open for a day. It's probably as good as it gets. I wouldn't be in a rush, but drink it up over the next 2 years, if cellaring conditions were good. |

2005 Domaine Wardy Private SelectionBekaa Valley Red Blend more |
10/4/2017 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 89 pointsNice to drink now. Good fruit and medium body with pleasant acidity. A bit too much oak, otherwise the wine's elegant structure would have shown more. I liked t with lamb and couscous. |

2008 Larry Cherubino Riesling Cherubino Mount Barkermore |
9/23/2017 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 90 pointsRipe and good to drink now. Petrol aromas have strongly developed. Nice acidity, very dry, mineral aromas. Long aftertaste. Very good to drink now, hard to judge further potential. Strong acidity suggest some more years of life ahead. |

2013 Paolo Cottini Valpolicella ValpoCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
9/23/2017 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 90 pointsVerrry enjoyable! Nothing serious, but a very drinkable, medium weight red that is based on well rounded red fruits. Great to accompany a light meat dish or sip along on its own. Pleasent to drink now. Won't improve from further cellari g, but will hold up for another 2 years I would expect |

2010 Sanguine Estate Shiraz ProgenyHeathcote more |
9/18/2017 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 90 pointsEarthy aromas, rusty, followed by nice cherry fruit with a medium length body. Alkohol comes through a tad strong in the end but no big issue. Drinking very nicely now. Would probably drink up in the next year or so, while there is still some nice primary fruit present to counterbalance earth, Alkohol and acidity. Very nice wine indeed. |

9/10/2017 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 90 pointsBright red cherry fruit, wood nicely integrated. A tad much acidity in the end, but long lingering aftertaste, full of lovely Pinot aromas. Very nice drinking now. Don't think it will get better with time. Peak drinking now. |
