4/25/2024 - WineGuyX Likes this wine: 91 points

This took a full hour of near continuous decantations to come around. Finally revealing aromas of eucalyptus, blackberry, toasty, new oak, cedar, culinary herb scents and red currants. Quite rich and full-bodied, loaded with sweet red cherries and currants, toasted oak, hot gravel and some brooding black fruits and soil. This has a corpulent frame supported on a scaffold of layered tannins and brisk acidity. This will benefit from another 2-3 years in the cellar to open and shed some tannin and should reach age 15+ in fine shape. 91

This is what I'm hoping for in aged but inexpensive shiraz. Medium-bodied, bright, with good acidity and blue fruits. It's obviously Australian, but really well balanced and picking up secondary flavors. These Aussie wines seem to develop so slowly under screwcap that I could imagine it going another 10+ years. More or less the same over two nights.

2011 Yarra Yering Cabernet Malbec Agincourt

4/25/2024 - Genghis88 Likes this wine: 90 points

Been a minute since my last bottle and this has improved somewhat. Still a food pairing wine IMHO (Chinese steamed pork buns tonight).

Everything is much more balanced. Nose like red licorice.

Has aged nidely. Notes of iodine, some pencil lead and leather. All tertiary notes. Who knows? This may pick up another point over the coming two years

Ivy Sommelier tasting (Mumu, George Street): From magnum. Initially it's pretty red fruit with a smidge too much oak but falls apart in the glass. Bella suggest tinned baked beans but I don't see it. I will acknowledge, though, mismanaged whole bunch and tomato leaf.

Ivy Sommelier tasting (Mumu, George Street): citrus driven and linear Margaret River chardonnay needs to be kinder to itself and not succumb to every other chardonnay producers approach by either not harvesting too early or not supressing malolactic fermentation

Cool nose of lemon, green apple, some herbs, a green grassy note, and a little bit of funk even. Palate has good followthrough from the nose with some chalkiness, great acidity, and a smooth mouthfeel. Light and refreshing, great with Indian food.

7th release of this
Haunting aroma, the nose is quite spectacular, like old leather bound books with dried flowers. Really remarkable
Palate doesn't quite match up to it though it's still impressive with a piercing freshness, extraordinary intensity and a walnut finish that goes on for a good ten minutes. I can still taste this 3 days later.

Barossa Valley Red Blend more

4/25/2024 - henrygjeffreys Likes this wine: NR

Very distinctive nose which I couldn't quite put my finger/ nostril on. Something like a peach kernel with an earthy and also floral quality,
Intense acidity on the palate, apricots, brown sugar, raisin and toffee. Coming back to this after trying older tawnies and that stone fruit note was particularly vivid, like a viognier.
Really nothing at all like Port or any other fortified wine.

2021 Nugan Estate Shiraz Scruffy's Vineyard

Riverina more

4/25/2024 - Duncan wrote: 88 points

A relief: a good condition bottle after the faulty 2020 I had recently. Vibrant mid-purple, not opaque. On the nose, plums and cherries and a good dose of sweet vanilla. The palate is surprising: sweet fruit and vanilla, yes, but unusually high acidity. (The 2020 had that too, as well as secondary fermentation and possibly brett.) I've never had an Aussie Shiraz that is so 'bright.' I think the winemaker just about gets away with it, but it's right on the edge of being out of balance. The relatively high alcohol adds to the wine's assertive attack. The fruit length is short, but the acid tingles on my tongue for quite some time. 14.5%, screwcap.
