"Served Blind.
Lime, lime peel, kerosene, slight candied lime peel, slight rubber with butter and honey in support. Medium plus intensity acidity, lime, slight lime pith, slight textured burr, finishes with a tiny touch of alcohol warmth.
I went with South Australia Riesling of between 10 & 15 years old under screwcap."

"Served Blind.
Lime, mineral notes, slight honey, slight ripe apple. Medium plus intensity acidity, crips green apple, a little texture, off dry. Very simple, quite lean.
Very interesting. Riesling, entry level/poor site Mosel Kabinett or Spatlese about 5 years old."

"Served Blind.
Low intensity aromas show a little lime, candy floss, slight citrus. Juicy with slight candy floss, citrus, a smidge of butter, all quite muted and flat, especially after the first two wines.
I got as far as an Australian Riesling but thought this may have been from a cooler climate so ended up in Orange, NSW and about 5 years old"

"Served Blind.
Slight butter, apple, herbaceous noes, savoury, gooseberry, slight nettle, sweet spice. Medium plus intensity acidity, plenty of fruit lozenge notes here, tangy, a little texture. Nice.
I recognised this as mine."

"Served Blind.
Sweaty armpit, a little apple, quite funky on the nose. In the mouth it is tangy, juicy, slightly oxidised, skin contact.
Crikey. Err, experimental Mediterranean stuff…not sure what though. Young."

"Served Blind.
Waxy, butter, slight oxidised notes, apple, cream. Medium plus intensity acidity, alcohol warmth is a touch intrusive, bruised apple, plenty of textured grip, slight nutty notes.
Tastes like older (15 years +) Australian Chardonnay, possibly Western Australia"

"Served Blind.
Oof! Oxidised and maderised, a little apricot, apple. Medium plus intensity acidity, alcohol warmth, a little butter, honey.
Old and tired. Chardonnay. 1998. Australian. "

"Served Blind.
Green citrus; lemon; lime, slight green apple. Medium plus intensity acidity, slight sulphur, slight alcohol warmth, muted fruit.
After a little stumbling the fruit profile and the alcohol warmth led me to Austria and Gruner Veltliner of about 5 years old."

"Served Blind.
Lime, kerosene, slight candied lime peel. Medium plus intensity acidity is quite sharp, quite bitter on the finish, lacks fruit on the palate, a little alcohol warmth completes the palate.
The nose said standard Australian Riesling but the palate threw me an absolute curveball - sharp acid combined with alcohol warmth? I had no idea...Mind you, I don't think it's the first time I've been side-swiped by this wine"

"Served Blind. shown in a bracket with the other Musar
Oxidised, plummy, black fruits, sweet spice, a little volatile. Ripe fruit, medium plus intensity acidity is a little sour, textured chalky tannins are tight, leather, funky.
Umm…okay…it's a bit dirty…it's got some age…Southern Italian international varietal blend? 15 years old?
"

"Served Blind. shown in a bracket with the other Musar
Ripe black fruit sweet spice, meaty, earthy, alcohol lends spice on the nose. Volatile on the palate, sour, plenty of tannins prove both grippy and drying, those ripe black fruits are beneath these structural components.
Hmm, as this was served as a pair with the wine above I went with same blend but younger? That volatility again..."

"Served Blind.
Lightweight red berries, sweet spice, jubey notes, with time a smidge of brett. Medium plus intensity acidity, fresh, red berries, jubey notes, simple.
Initially I was going minimal intervention Aussie pinot noir from Tasmania or Victoria but the Brett took me to Europe and, with the lightness of fruit, Jura. Pinot Noir, 4 years old."

"Served Blind.
Wet stone and a little cellar stink initially, red over black fruits, iron/blood, a little crushed rock, fruit sweetens with time in the glass. Juicy, fleshy, savoury fruits, crushed rocks, smoky notes, textured burr, slight alcohol warmth. Nice.
I knew this was mine."

"Served Blind.
Pretty, ripe, a little cherry, plum, berry, sweet spice. Juicy, alcohol warmth tangy textured burr, fruit persists, it's a bit bolshy, red fruit , alcoholic warmth, bit oofy for me.
Pinot noir, 10 years old, I thought perhaps New Zealand but defo new world."

"Served Blind.
Medium minus intensity aromas are perfumed, showing red berry, sweet spice, smidge of earth. Simple nose. Medium plus intensity acidity, juicy, tight tannins are quite silky textured, red berry fruit, slight sweet spice, a little simple but travels long and is balanced. Nice.
Burgundy, 10-15years old from a cooler vintage, possible Chassagne? 1er cru level."

"Served Blind.
Jammy with a fair alcoholic heft, meaty notes, ripe red and black berries, cream, slight tomato leaf, vanilla. Chalky tannins, alcohol warmth translates to the palate as well, vanilla, a little red fruit, baked black fruits, all non-delineated, fairly anonymous.
New World, not sure what varietal, guessing about 7-10 years old, it's a bit out of whack, possibly out of condition."

"Served Blind.
Slightly volatile red hued fruit, touch of herbaceous underpin gives a bit of a whole bunch impression. On the palate it's quite odd - alcohol heat, grippy tannins but sour red fruits…not for me.
This is a (poorly made) Victorian Pinot Noir, probably from Yarra, probably about 5 years old"

"Served Blind.
Red and black berry and cherry fruit, sweet spice, a touchy of savoury ness, slight herbaceous underpin, pretty nose, interesting. Juicy, medium plus intensity acidity, those red and black fruits, softly textured tannins, pretty on the palate as well, balanced, long, charming. Lovely, really lovely.
I was so confounded by the pure joy of this wine that I completely neglected to evaluate what it was! Oops!!"

"Served Blind - note, under cork and served with the other Corryton
Herbaceous and ripe blackcurrant backed by sweet spice. Medium plus intensity acidity, alcohol warmth with ripe black hued fruit, talcy tannins are tending to chalky textured but still retaining a little softness. Nice.
I went with a South Australian, probably Barossa, Cabernet from 2015"

"Served Blind. note, under screwcap and served with the other Corryton
A little fruit lozenge quality, touch of meatiness, black hued fruit, slight alcohol warmth on the nose. Medium plus intensity acidity, slightly sharp, black hued fruits, talcy tannins are tending to chalky textured but this is slightly lean, tough and elbowy compared to the previous wine
I went with South Australian, probably Barossa and cabernet or cab shiraz from the same producer but probably a 2018"

"Served Blind.
A little dried flowers, leather, black plums, a touch of fruit cake and sweet spice. Juicy tends to medium plus intensity acidity, talc textured tannins persists long, black hued fruit; a little black cherry joins the plums here. Nice.
Australian Shiraz from South Australia - Barossa or Clare Valley and 10-15 years old"

"Served Blind.
Fruit tea, meaty, gamey, red hued fruits, medium plus intensity acidity, sour fruit tea - think Cranberry, talc textured tannins but this is out of condition for me. FLAW
I went with Cabernet, Australian, Coonawarra, but old 20-30 years and out of condition unfortunately."

"Served Blind.
Red berry and currant, ripe, smells thick. Medium plus intensity acidity but this also has a hint of residual sugar, tight chalky tannins, alcohol warmth, pretty rough stuff.
Rustic old world Mediterranean stuff - Perhaps Greek? Italian? I can't really discern what this is. Probably about 5-10 years old; alcohol is a bit pointy"

"Served Blind.
Plenty of alcohol, backed black fruits, spiced and peppery. Medium plus intensity acidity, chalky tannins, again alcohol warmth, lots of baked black fruits, liquorice, concentrated and thick.
Old school Australian Shiraz or Shiraz blend but youngish...5 years?"

"Served Blind.
Sweet spice, reductive, slight liquorice and baked blackberry, alcohol warmth lends a peppery prickle. Juicy, savoury, drying textured grip but quite controlled, reductive black fruits, simple, alcohol slightly warm but relatively balanced.
Young (2-4 years old) Shiraz under screwcap, from Victoria? "
