  May 19, 2024 - A good showing, considering. This came from a friends collection with sub-par storage, so explains why it felt more developed than it should be at this point. No major issues or faults though. Clearly cabenet dominant but with the supporting varieties adding mid palate weight.

  April 1, 2024 - A very solid and unique Cabernet Sauvignon blend which shows richness yet wonderful delicateness at the same time. Dark plump fruit, unsmoked tobacco, black pepper, all spice, green pepper along with dark chocolate. The Palate is rich yet delicate, with refined and slightly bruised dark berry fruit, cassis, blackcurrant and spice, the mid- palate is rich with a spicy undertone finishing long and dry. Love the spice component on all YY wines!

  January 27, 2024 - Yarra Yering Dry Red Wine No. 1 2018, Cabernet Sauvignon 55% Merlot 28% Malbec 12% Petit Verdot 5%
  
  Yarra Yering located in Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia. Produces fantastic wines, No. 1 is a Bordeaux Blend and No. 2 is a Rhone blend. Focus on the fruit and a clear structure, the acidity is vital and the tannins are fine-grained. This reminds a little of Margeret River, sublime fruit, or left bank in Bordeaux. High minerality, herbs, lead pencil together with black currants and a touch of plum. This should be even better with at least 5 more years in the cellar.

  November 29, 2023 - nice color - very dark in the glass
  nose - hints of eucalyptis, red merging with black fruits, smells silky smooth
  Palate - there's tension to the fruit that is very nice, restrained richness is how I'd describe it. This wine has a very defined beginning middle and finish and they flow so smoothly that they are hard to identify individually. The finish is long and certainly demands another sip long before dissipating.
  Would buy again. One of my top Australian wines to buy on sight.
