Tuesday, February 7, 2023 - I have opened 1998 Vat 1, Lovedale and LHR Bin 9255 recently. The Vat 1 corks are good and the wine is amazing. The Lovedale corks are ok and the wine is slightly past it’s prime, maybe picked later. The Lindeman’s is fucked. Breathtakingly rubbish cork, TCA stripped, some oxidation. This wine never stood a chance. What a waste. I have not had one Hunter Semillon under Stellvin that was less than excellent, and I still remember how fabulous 1960 HRR Bin 1616 was, and under cork at 20 years plus.
