4/23/2024 - hoservin Likes this wine: 92 points

Popped and poured. Nose of black cherry, currant, cocoa, forest floor and spice. Ripe black cherry, currant, anise, cocoa, dried herbs and ripe tannins on the palate. Silky smooth, long finish. Full bodied. A very good QPR. Served with a roast beef and smoked Gouda panini.

Not opened with much hope after the last one, but this one didn't have the dank taste the other one had, or only a slight hint of it. So I reassess the previous one as flawed.

Decanted 3 hours ahead. Was a bit hot with alcohol first day, but more integrated the second day. Pleasant enough, nicely mature cab-merl, nothing special. I suppose that's all I can hope for given the price.

5/14/2024 - BottleScholar Likes this wine: NR

All the aromas of a ripe-but-restrained Chardonnay (ripe peach, blossom, baked apple pie) while leaner and more mineral-driven on the palate. All the flavors are there, but in a more restrained austere expression (more green apple and crushed rocks). M+ acid. M/M+ body. Long finish. Made well and will probably improve through 2031, and will last another 5+ years after that with a more tertiary-driven style. Outstanding.

2023 Vasse Felix Filius Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc

Margaret River Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more

5/12/2024 - red_man wrote: 90 points

light straw colour, very clean, fresh, complex nose, although this is 71% Sauvignon Blanc for me the slightly cheesy character of Semillon dominates on the nose with only hints of more floral / herbal Sauvignon Blanc, maybe this is just me, anyway very nice, palate has great freshness but also depth and restrained power, very good balance and length with lovely clean persistent aftertaste, top winemaking from good material, would be a great accompaniment to scallops or lobster but also drank beautifully alone, the freshness is such a positive character of the wine that I do not see a lot to be gained from cellaring, however I could be wrong in this prediction - the balance is perfect and the acidity high but well-integrated so it might actually age gracefully, soften and pick up some positive more tertiary nuances, might be worth the experiment, top QPR

still very youthful purple colour, rich blackberry,mulberry, and cassis fruit nose, has some finesse already but just too young to have developed any tertiary nuances or complexity, palate has good balance and depth, smooth tannins, well made and has character, could be excellent in 10-20 years, easy enough to drink now but there is potential for much more

Pretty decent. I don't know if it is worth the price, but it is an enjoyable Aussie Cab with a good fruit-to-acid ratio. Tannins are there and noticeable and pleasant. I had a 2017 not too long ago, and it was better than this, and the QPR for it was pretty decent. Just not this one.

Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of light lemon colour, with wide watery rims and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of green fruit of apple, citrus fruit of lemon, floral notes of honeysuckle, stone fruit of peach, mineral notes of waxy, sweet spice of ginger, maturity notes of hay. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium (+) acidity, the wine has medium alcohol, medium body, with medium (+) flavours of green fruit of green apple, citrus fruit of lemon, sweet spice of ginger, kernel notes of almond, mineral notes of beeswax. The wine has a medium (+) finish.
Conclusion: Very good quality Margaret River Chardonnay with an intense and complex nose showing wonderful fruity and floral characters, with some ginger and waxy notes too. On the palate the wine is refreshing, with good acidity and well-structured, having wonderful concentration of flavours and fairly long length as well. It is ready to drink now but can benefit from further ageing of another 3-5 years.

Lovely bouquet. Smooth and long palate. So different from last night's 2013 Wynns Coonawarra black label cabernet but both excellent wines. I'm guessing this is 'in the zone'. Surprisingly light colour. But no bricking.

Now we are talking

After a 30/45 minutes aeration the wines displays its real potential, with still a long way to go !

Nose of reduction and almost asparagus/cabbage which then turns into flowery, honeysuckle and ripe stone fruits ! oak is never shown, but it just shines after 2 pretty good wines B4

palate is where it happens mostly, with long aftertaste of best chard palate, it is crisp, lingering and fuit driven with concentration and linearity ! clean crisp, fruit driven and long ... great wine

Agree that this is Chablis-ish. Floral, tart green apple nose and palate. Definitely leans European in style.

Sumptuous Chardonnay. Nose is flinty, limestone, honey, orchard fruit. Palate is High acid with quince, and a cheesy/horchata texture. Consume now through the next decade.

Similar to before....the wine mellowed nicely for the last 2 glasses drunk 3 days later. I like the balance of this wine, quite understated for an Aussie red. Worth tucking a couple away too maybe as I think it will age quite gracefully for a few years.

2019 Vasse Felix Cabernet Sauvignon

4/15/2024 - Vinnut Likes this wine: 88 points

Dark reddish ruby in color. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of blueberries, plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & herbal notes, mint, spices, some cedar, oak/vanilla notes & a hint of VA in the background. Medium-full bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blueberries & plums with spices, herbs, minerals & oak/vanilla. Lingering finish with a bit of heat. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but might develop further with additional aging although I have some reservations about the VA in the nose & the heat in the finish.

A simple Cabernet Sauvignon, quite angular with rough tannins and very little flow through the palate, lacking any sort of depth. WS gave this 93 which is comical.
