Medium colour, and somewhat savoury at the moment, with notes of green capsicum, white pepper and sage. Not much primary fruit, with light sour tannins and cutting acidity - might be going through a bit of a dumb phase. Opened up a little after two hours and went well with roast duck breast and sour cherries.

2011 was a very wet year in Victoria, and as a result the wine is very lean compared to other Mount Mary vintages. Still a great chard, but don't expect anything too buttery from this vintage. Drink up I reckon - and serve in a big glass to get as much from the wine as possible.

With regard to your comment on my posting...........The variety Red Bordeaux Blend implies any blend using any or all of the five traditional Bordeaux varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. As such, this is used worldwide, whether for the wines of Bordeaux, California, etc. and yes even Australia.

I usually stand with a group of about 5 blokes in the middle and take my notes in a black moleskine - I'll look out for you - we usually head off for supper afterwards to a BYO (everyone brings something along) and I'm sure you'd be more than welcome to join us. That's a pretty fantastic cellar you've got there yourself - truth to be told it's the cellar I aspire to! I see you have the same problem/solution that I have - lots of wine stuck in the UK...I say solution because it certainly stops it getting drunk too soon! cheers, chatters
