2010 Saltram Cabernet Sauvignon Mamre BrookBarossa more |
12/8/2013 - spudpeelz wrote: NRDeep crimson-purple; the repeated use of Barossa (not Barossa Valley) on the front and back labels suggests the Eden Valley may have contributed to the wine, an assumption reinforced by the depth and power of the cassis/redcurrant/mulberry aromas and flavours. There is also ample tannin support, plus the legacy of 18 months in oak. Score - 93 |

2009 Rodney Strong Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Countymore |
12/8/2013 - spudpeelz wrote: NROne of the best-ever versions of this wine. Both elegant and complex in style, it is full bodied, well balanced, and very long on the finish, with modest tannins; truly Bordeaux-like (in the best sense of the term). It tastes of plum, cassis, cherry, vanilla, and toast. Drink: 2014-2016. Score - 4 Stars (out of 5). |

2011 Tait The Ball BusterBarossa Valley Shiraz Blend, Syrah more |
12/8/2013 - spudpeelz wrote: NRBlended of 75% Shiraz, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot, the 2011 The BallBuster is deep garnet-purple in color with fragrant black currant, crushed black berry and violet aromas plus hints of black pepper, mulberries and spice box. Full-bodied with a good amount of toast and vanilla flavors coming through to compliment the black fruits on the palate, it has a medium level of rounded tannins and lively acid, finishing long. Drink it now through 2016+. Score - 90 |

2010 Château Haut-Canteloup Cuvée PrestigeBlaye Côtes de Bordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/24/2013 - spudpeelz wrote: NRThe reputation of this family estate - the two Bordenave brothers and their parents - is second to none. Numerous awards in these columns and several Jury Favourite selections attest to Haut-Canteloup and also for Ch. Perrières in AC Blaye. The ranking is expanding with this 2010, which is nothing short of amazing. Intense garnet with inky highlights coat the glass. On the nose, the twelve months of barrel age is manifested through elegant toasted and roasted flavours that dominate without crushing notes of ripe black fruit. Fresh and powerful on the attack, the palate shows a solid, smoky, impressive finish. Can be cellared five to ten years. Score - 2 Stars (out of 3). |

2010 Argiolas Monica di Sardegna Perderamore |
11/24/2013 - spudpeelz wrote: NRComplex aromas of cherry, strawberry, blueberry, leather and spice on the nose. The palate is very fruit forward and front-loaded with red fruit flavours. There is a lovely ripe fruit sweetness to the core that also informs the long finish. Excellent balance and structure throughout. |
