2011 Michel & Stéphane Ogier Côte-RôtieSyrah more |
5/16/2021 - whme Likes this wine: 91 pointsFunky nose but came good 30min later. Opened up into a velvit smooth wine with a medium body, super fine tannin, red fruit. Complex nuance of flavour. Don’t pop and pour and you should be very pleased. |

2018 Forest Hill Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon EstateGreat Southern more |

1998 Rosemount Estate TraditionalFleurieu Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/8/2021 - whme Likes this wine: 90 pointsAt this age one should expect some bottle variation. Straight after opening the wine was very astringent with a fair bit of acidity, new rubber on the nose, liquorice and baking spice. It became good to very good and was delicious 3 hours later. |
