2003 Seppelt Shiraz St PetersGreat Western more |
5/11/2024 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 94 pointsBeautiful wine! Great length, intense fruit, still very fresh and some years life ahead. Fresh flavours. A tad too much wood in the aftertaste. But the fruit can stand it easily. |

2008 A. R. Lenoble Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs MillésiméChardonnay more |
3/3/2024 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 94 pointsWell balanced, brioche aromas, still frech citrussy acidity, carrying the chamapagem to a long finish. Pleasure to drink now. Not the strongest fizz anymore, so best to drink soon I think, even though the taste is still quite fresh. |

2/24/2024 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 94 pointsBeautiful wine! Confession: I love Lugana. I already loved in when everyone (including me) thought this was made of the cheap Trebbiano grape. And I still love it. |

2015 Giaconda Nebbiolo Nantua Les DeuxBeechworth more |
1/28/2024 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 93 pointsI like it, good fruit, well balanced. Red berry, quite a bit of wood. Really good wine, it lacks a bit the delicate fruit that the best Piedmontese nebbiolos have. But very enjoyable |

2020 Van Volxem Kanzemer Altenberg Riesling Großes Gewächs Alte RebenMosel Saar Ruwer more |
1/26/2024 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 95 pointsWaaaay too young to drink, but absolute pleasure. Lime, stonefruit, strong mineral aromas from the Altenburg soil. Great length, good citrusy acid. Well balanced. This wine has a long life ahead. But we thoroughly enjoyed it with Sushi. Nice pineapple flavours. Amazing wine. Had it from a Magnum bottle. |

1/24/2024 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 94 pointsI was a bit nervous given ratings below, when I bought the wine at auction at a cheap price. But boy, how wrong were those “drink up” comments 11 years ago! |

2011 Zind-Humbrecht Riesling BrandAlsace Grand Cru more |
1/22/2024 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 93 pointsGood length. Peach, apricot, honey. You notice the warm vintage, as the acidity has already retired from this wine. Also the fruit is starting to dissolve. Still quite nice to drink, but I wish I had opened the bottle earlier, while I usually like my wines with bottle age. Drink up!!! |

2009 Hentley Farm Cabernet Sauvignon Von KasperBarossa Valley more |
1/15/2024 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 97 pointsAmazing wine. Full red fruit with blackcurrant and a bit of cherry, nice earthy undertones to give complexity. An amazing soft, velvety mouthfeel and finely polished tannins leading into a long aftertaste. What a great bottle of wine. Drinking superbly now. I like wines with bottle age, but this one still had a lively and fresh fruit that made it a stand out. Still a lot of life in it for many years, but I don’t have any regrets drinking it now. Beauty! |

2008 Koehler-Ruprecht Kallstadter Saumagen Riesling Auslese trockenPfalz more |
1/15/2024 - Hilzi wrote: 93 pointsDry, some kerosene aromas, fruit still decent. Good minerality and length. I thought I’ll open the bottle on the night before dinner. Flavours were better after opening than on the actual dinner night, where the wine was a bit dull unfortunately. Decent to drink, but not as expected. Deterioration on day after opening suggests to me that it’s time to drink up. Disappointed that I opened it too early. |

2012 Zind-Humbrecht Muscat GoldertAlsace Grand Cru more |
1/15/2024 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 95 pointsAbsolute stunner! Very long, amazing balance of ripe fruit, candied orange, and very mineralic and dry. No Alsatian oiliness at all. Very long aftertaste. Perfect match to a dish combining beetroot and figs, as well as a veggie terrine, so some good earthy and fruity flavours. Nice now, but good life still in it. |

2009 Boireann Shiraz EstateGranite Belt more |
1/5/2024 - Hilzi Likes this wine: 95 pointsVery vibrant fruit still. Cherry, lifted violet aromas from Viognier. Earthy, tertiary aromas clearly pushing through. Leather. Some oak use clearly visible too, but well balanced. Great length. Acidity a tad strong on day 1, but much more rounded on day three.. |

2003 Dr. Loosen Erdener Treppchen Riesling AusleseMosel Saar Ruwer more |
1/3/2024 - Hilzi Does not like this wine: 87 pointsNot impressed yes 2003 was a very warm year. But a Mosel Auslese should stand 20 years. Acidity is gone, fruit is nothing spectacular. So, you end up with an unbalanced wine that is not even extremely sweet. Probably well beyond its optimum drinking window… |
