2016 Clonakilla Shiraz ViognierCanberra District Shiraz Blend, Syrah more |
10/7/2023 - TNK wrote: 90 pointsStructurally this is a terrific wine. However, I could never have guessed that a Shiraz could taste like this and cannot make up my mind if I liked it or not. I suspect no as I'd be unlikely to buy it again. |

9/9/2022 - TNK wrote: 90 pointsDecanted for three hours. There is still a powerful heaviness to this wine but it is opening up versus when I tried it a few years back. Very enjoyable. |

10/23/2021 - TNK wrote: 91 pointsGiven all the other notes, I thought this would be on its knees but not so. Extraordinary consistent colour, limited fruit but a fine Bordeaux and what one would hope for. Very, very enjoyable. |

8/28/2021 - TNK wrote: 92 pointsReally enjoyable. Still showing deep ruby colour and plenty of alcohol. Think this could go another good few years but very enjoyable to drink now, bottle opened three hours in advance. |

1983 Château Mouton RothschildPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/4/2021 - TNK wrote: 90 pointsOpened about 90 minutes before drinking. You can tell it is a fine wine but not more. Fine balance, not long, fruit ebbing. It could probably last a while longer but do not think it will improve further. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2002 Château Lynch-BagesPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/27/2021 - TNK wrote: 90 pointsCork fell apart completely - mostly dry. Decanted for nearly three hours. Still very full bodied. Rich flavours and no perceived mellowing. Think there is still a good deal of life in this. |

1992 Tahbilk Cabernet SauvignonNagambie Lakes more |
8/2/2020 - TNK wrote: 88 pointsThis was all over the place. First taste shortly after opening, thought it was going to be vinegar. Waited a bit (20 mins) and it was quite nice with a meal. Felt heavy with tannins and by bottle's end, the heaviness was all too apparent. Nowhere for this to go at this age, so open it up for a drink or down the sink! |

2010 Domaine de la Charbonnière Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Mourre des PerdrixRed Rhone Blend more |
6/25/2020 - TNK wrote: 89 pointsThis is a brute of a wine. Was shocked at opening magnum how powerful and alcoholic it was (15.5%). Had serious doubts but decanted for 5 hours and it mellowed out. Still very strong fruity flavours and rich heaviness. Will probably leave it a good few years before I open another one. |

5/23/2020 - TNK wrote: 91 pointsVery enjoyable. 3 hour decant. Still very strong. Strong tannin level but not overbearing. Consistent on the palate. Very much a wine for food - hearty meat dishes or cheeses. |
