Introduction

Always nice to start the weekend off with some bottles of wine with friends and family.

Flight 1 (3 Notes)

  • 2009 Schild Estate Shiraz 88 Points

    Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley

    This was too young to drink now, I would suggest leaving this bottle alone for another six months before opening. Tight, grapey nose with heat present. Palate wasn't showing too much at the moment. Dark red fruits, tannins and hot finish.

  • 2007 John Duval Wines Shiraz Entity 91 Points

    Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley

    This was a nice bottle of wine. Nice dark red fruit, chocolate, coffee nose. On the palate I got tons of red berries, chocolate/coffee notes. Nice velvety tannins.

  • 2006 Château Rieussec 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Sauternes

    I always love a nice bottle of sauternes after drinking a bunch of reds. Nice botrytis nose, with honey and a creme brulee. Nice citrus notes on the palate along with some honey, caramel and petrol notes as well. Medium plus finish. This wine is still very young and would benefit from more air exposure or years in the cellar.
    92+ SS
