Community Tasting Note

felixp Likes this wine:

Wednesday, January 24, 2024 - Nice wine, but chewed up and spat out by the Leeuwin 2018 in our annual Giaconda v Leeuwin January tasting. This time, the 2018, 2014 and 2010 vintage were in the gun.
Leeuwin streets ahead in 18 and 14, the 2010 was line-ball, I marginally preferred the Leeuwin, but it was a 4-4 vote (8 very experienced wine drinkers, 5 in the trade)

I guess its "groovy baby" to produce massively reduced chards, perhaps aimed at pleasing bored wine critics and delighting label-drinkers, but when you stack up these two winerys, one is constantly and significantly better, and it is now 1/3 the price!!! lol.

I must be one of those fools who drinks wine for enjoyment.
