2009 Xanadu Chardonnay Margaret Rivermore |
2/19/2022 - bp888 wrote: 91 pointsQuite pronounced oak characters, but with good acidity and length. Cashews, lots of cashews, with finger lime, salty minerality and yeah - oak. Nice enough but not really my style. |

2017 Windows Estate Petit Lot "La Violette"Margaret River Red Bordeaux Blend more |
6/19/2021 - bp888 Likes this wine: NRI love this winery and I love this wine. It is beautifully-crafted and well balanced. Feather weight, but with detail, finesse and decent length. It is grown and then made with great care and it shows. |

2018 By Farr Pinot Noir SangrealGeelong more |
10/11/2020 - bp888 Likes this wine: 94 pointsClosed at first, but then opened wonderfully after an hour in the glass. Depth and structure. Flinty minerality as expected, but balanced with earthy mushroomy characteristics, and then filled out with power and length. |

2012 Trimbach Pinot Gris ReserveAlsace more |
4/30/2020 - bp888 Likes this wine: 92 pointsSlight trepidation as cork wet almost to the top. Bright and clear mid yellow holds promise, and honeysuckle, marshmallow and rose petals on the nose confirm it's held up. Gorgeous lifted floral palate a moment of surprise. Lovely acid and length but it's the swirling waves of rose Turkish Delight, with white peach, lemon and a slight hint of clove at the back palate for interest. 8 year old Pinot Gris eh. |

4/19/2020 - bp888 Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis was absolutely delicious - classic Bordeaux profile but feather light and with so much life and vibrancy in the glass. Sparkled across the palate... Lovely. |
