Lunch with the wine ark boys (McLeay Street Bistro, Potts Point): Slight red cherry, berry, sweet spice, touch of jubey fruit lozenge here as well. With time a touch of mushroom and forest floor. Sourly juicy (like the 2006 I wonder if this has been adjusted from an acid perspective) and, like the 2006, grainy drying, slightly coarse tannins, fruit is slightly muted muted, better than the 2006 but still slightly out of whack. Hmm

Dave's b'day lunch (McLeay Street Bistro, Potts Point): Aromas are smoky, earthy, red cherry, slight leather, gamey underpin, sweet spice. In the mouth it's juicy and slight sour with medium minus intensity chalky textured, woody tannins, fruit a little muted initially but with time in the glass grows though it does reinforce that sense of sourness. Hmm.

Christmas supper with the Wine Ark boys (Fix St. James, 111 Elizabeth Street, Sydney): Dusty spice, sour cherry but also jubey notes, slight spice and ashy/stalky notes and a tiny bit reductive - we decanted on this basis which generated a little more richness on the nose. In the palate it's got plenty of oak, big with cherry and spice, . Hmm. It's a bit hard for me.

On balance consumed a bit early. Steely, unyielding, minerals, really quite classic Burg and of at least decent Village quality. I do wonder if this was ever fruity?

Pinot-palooza (Carriageworks, Redfern): slight sour red berry, leather notes, spice (slight pepper notes), tiny earth and mushroom here as well. In the mouth the wine is juicy with slight tart fruit, Plentiful tannic grip as well. It's all a bit meh.
