2020 Rockford Shiraz Basket PressBarossa Valley more |
5/10/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 91 pointsBright red/purple. Sweet damson and cassis nose, young fresh, hints of liquorice and dark fruit which emerges from the depths. Flavours are beautiful rich berries, black fruit, fine laced tannins, like a fine subtle young wine waiting for aging. Very good but way too young. As the bottle disappears it is apparent that while this is a very good 'baby' it needs a long time time growing up. Note to self - don't touch for another 5 years |

5/10/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 90 pointsPale gold, vigorous mousse. Nose of white stone fruit, faint biscuit, and vibrant acidity. Flavours are similar, with the white peach and stone fruits, big mousse. Hint of sweetness? Nice, and this batch feels very young. |

5/9/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 90 pointsDark garnet red. Sweet cherry, blackberry and menthol nose, jibe initially and later some spicy black fruit appear. Pnp.

2020 Domaine Charles Audoin Marsannay Clos du RoyPinot Noir more |
5/8/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 89 pointsBright red. Slight reduction on the nose, cherry and blackcurrant, peppery tannins, all very young. Warm and full of fruit, clack cherry and currant, simplistic at this stage although enjoyable. Would stand a long ageing process too? With some air this opens up a bit, and stays simple - black cherry, red fruit and young tannins. |

2022 Tyrrell's Chardonnay HVDHunter Valley more |
4/27/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 89 pointsPale yellow, green and gold. Rapier sharp, young juice, lime pith and talc nose, faintest tinge of golden honey. Flavours are fleshier that the nose, warm and plush, frisson of acidity, but more white peach and mandarin. Young and very nice. Day 2, really nice. Sweeter, fuller and old school. Like it. |

4/30/2024 - Cremuel wrote: 89 pointsBright clear red. Fresh raspberries and black fruit, a whiff of pepper and tannin, all very bright and fresh. Flavours are bright too, tannins are light but supportive, plenty of red fruit and again young. Decent. |

2004 Henschke Shiraz Hill of RosesEden Valley more |
4/25/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 91 pointsBob's cellar. Dark red, no bricking at all. Blackberry, damson, red earth and ironstone nose, sweet and still has a youthful air. Eucalyptus and tannic opening, still dry, fruit is reticent on PnP basis. Powerful and big compared to the Latour, certainly not the same level of sophistication. Rich and spicy. |

4/26/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 88 pointsDark red. Sharp red fruit hits the nose first then there's a dash o blackcurrant. Shirazy black pepper tannins. Fulsome flavours, tannins are present but have softened, dry, a support of red fruit acidity, black fruit, quite simple and ok. |

1994 Château Latour Grand VinPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/24/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 94 pointsBob’s cellar. A good looking ruby red, no bricking at all. Pnp, nose is a blast of barnyard funk, red acidity and ascending dark fruit, grip, unsmoked cigar leaf and very good depth. Taste is restrained at this early stage, supremely fine, there are no jagged edges here. It’s dark fruit balanced with a perfect acidity, tannins are just there without being obtrusive, it’s calm and collected and as the air opens up you can feel the depth beckoning you over to be involved. It’s very very good, undoubtedly excellent. Am going to allow this to breathe for a while before the next glass. |

4/24/2024 - Cremuel wrote: 92 pointsOily golden yellow. Nose of peaches and melon spritzed with poised acidity- wow! Very full and good. Flavours are piqued by a firm acidity, not much sweetness at but full and rich, distant peach and honey arrives. Interesting and very good. After a day open this this is lovely with a superb acidity supporting it too. Very good, lovely wine. |

4/21/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 91 pointsBright cherry red. Very crunchy nose, cranberry, redcurrant, peppery, emerging mushroom and forest floor, super! Red crunchy fruits open the batting, puckering but excellent tannin and acidity, bright and very lively . Really good and age will evolve this further. Day 2, this is exceptionally good. Crunchy bright red fruit, lively with pep in the background. Sangiovese of class. |

2005 Tyrrell's Sémillon Vat 1Hunter Valley more |
4/19/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 93 pointsBob's cellar. Brilliant golden yellow colour - bright and shining. Nose kicks off with a waxy lemon/lime zest, distinct oiliness, herbaceous grassiness, slightly muted which is great. A hint of spritz on the tongue, muted lemon zest, refined poised acidity, all very very good. Some air softens the edges and warmer honey notes emerge, all precisely defined still. Exceptional and again, absolutely love this wine. |

2000 Château Calon-SégurSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/19/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 90 pointsBob's cellar. Pnp - ruby red, evident bricking. Nose has a reductive funk, very distant red cherry, black pepper, twist of liquorice and menthol, a sharp red acidity edge. Muted on tasting, faded acidity, all very subdued. Hmm! Needs to evolve. A few hours later the nose has developed more dark fruit, black cherry, and the bright acidity is still very present. Taste has developed too, tannins are firm, bright redcurrant is sharply there, some cigar box and compost base layer, earthy and mushrooms. Mature and ok, not that exciting. Agree with others on this needs drinking up. |

2022 Cirillo Grenache The VincentBarossa Valley more |
4/18/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 89 pointsRuby red. Punchy, jibe nose, kirsch and redcurrant. Flavours are similar, there's a grippy acidity in the foreground, crunch cherry red fruit, a zip of acidity and vibrancy. Puckers the taste buds with the tannins in a nice way. Good wine for the price. |

4/14/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: NRPale golden brown. Nose of sweet malt, ginger cake warmth and generosity, full with a medium spiciness. Caramel tones sweetened out by the warmth and malt, zip of tight acidity supporting it all. Back flavours are long and lingering, spicy sweetness and very good. Excellent whisky. My first ever English whisky at a late stage in my life! |

2020 Château PoujeauxMoulis en Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/13/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 88 pointsDark black & red. Very dense. Nose has a dash of cassis blackcurrant and red fruit, vanilla oakland youth. The youthful oak also hits the palate first, tannins are raw and blackcurrant and redcurrant are very present. Feels disjointed at this stage, needs a lot more time to tone out. |

4/13/2024 - Cremuel wrote: 89 pointsPale lemon yellow. Tropical fruit nose (guava, pineapple etc), twist of lemon zest, spritz and good with an aged tone that has taken the sharpness away. Flavours are pineapple, lemon, peach £ apricot, a vine of lemon zest, still fresh but age has toned it nicely. Very nice. Fades a little towards the end of the bottle. |

1998 Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon John Riddochmore |
4/12/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 91 pointsBob’s cellar. Dark and brooding, no bricking evident. Nose is sweet rich black cherries and damsons, pepper pinch. Dryand restrained, feels over a bit in the fruit has disappeared and left with a very tertiary leathery old red. Not that appealing - will try more on day 2 (89). Day 2 and all that leathery old red taste has gone away, red acidity has jumped up to the fore and more vibrant fruit has appeared. Much better. Last bottle so will never know where this goes next! Moving up a couple of points and thinking you have it time to drink up. |

4/6/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 88 pointsLight garnet red. reduction and funk on the nose for this bottle, definite red crunchy fruit behind, cherry and forest floor. Taste is similar, there's a funk to it, crunchy red berries, violets, earthiness and a tinge of black fruit. Good but not exceptional . Did enjoy the Cohiba Siglio II with it though. |

4/6/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 90 pointsPale gold. Bright nose, salty peaches, lemon acidity, warm honey, sweet fruit. Full flavoured with a wooded back note, nectarine, peach and apricot fleshiness, zipped through with lemon fresh acidity. With subsequent drinking this gets better and better - full and fleshy fruit (guava, pear, nectarine & peach) lifted with a lovely zest of lemon acidity. Very good. |

4/7/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 90 pointsPale green gold. Nose is brisk green grapes, spritz of salinity and seawater, weal lime zest and white flowers, very fine. Taut bracing brine and sea air hits your taste buds, rapier sharp but not over acidic. The acidity is there and very supportive not hitting you in the chops. Refined and linear - very good. |

4/5/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 89 pointsGolden yellow. Salty brine & peaches nose, stone fruit with receded lemon acidity. Still great and vibrant. Clear gooseberry harness opens the tasting, still high acidity, backed by peaches and green grapes and grapefruit. Still juicy and excellent. Tannins the background too. Like this a lot (last bottle!). |

4/5/2024 - Cremuel Likes this wine: 89 pointsruby red, some transparency. Nose is rose petals, orange rind, dash of tar, grippy tannins and black red fruit. Fine mesh of peppery tannins laced across red fruit, blood orangeade tar, the tannins are ever present and peppy - very good. Like the refinement of this and could easily take a few more years. With more air this simplifies with the fruit but tannins still there. |
