1995 Rosemount Estate Syrah Balmoral 92 Points
Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, McLaren Vale
Lots of dark fruits and sweet oak accents. Complex wine, with very fine grain tannins. Much more refined than it was last year, but lacking the raw power it had last year. Perhaps it is in a weird phase?

1992 Rosemount Estate Syrah Balmoral 90 Points
Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, McLaren Vale
Big blueberry nose. Cough syrup, blueberries and spice on the palate. Beautiful finish. A bit of heat. Still a good dose of tannns remaining. Excellent wine.

1996 Rosemount Estate Syrah Balmoral 94 Points
Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, McLaren Vale
Closed at first, but the nose soared after a little bit of airing. Big tar, smoke and caramel. Very generous, lush and tannic. Big wine, but also very complex.

1997 Clarendon Hills Shiraz Liandra 88 Points
Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, Clarendon
Some funk. Minerals and tar. A bit medicinal? A wine with good structure that perhaps needs more time. Not as good as a previous tasting, but I decanted it a lot more then.

1995 Turkey Flat Shiraz 95 Points
Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley
Big dark fruity wine. Earth, minerals, and with time, some buttered popcorn. Big wine, with a big finish. A wow wine. Don't know how it would age, but I would drink this wine now for the fun fruit.

Floral perfume. Medium bodied, but a bit short. Less lush than a previous taste several years ago. Drink up.

USA, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles
A thick, chunky, fruity wine. Very drinkable, but light on structure. A nice wine in a "drink me now" style.

USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Maria Valley
Medicinal, funk, and earth. A terroir driven wine. Perhaps it needs more time. Ok.

1994 Qupé Los Olivos Cuvée 80 Points
USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Ynez Valley
A 70% Syrah, 30% Mouverdre wine. Medicinal, some weird funk, and acidic. Either a bad bottle, or over the hill.

USA, California, Napa Valley
Blueberries. A medium bodied wine with a nice finish, but nothing spectacular. Nice wine.

Dark for a rose wine. Smokey strawberries. Nice balance and good zing, but overall, a simple wine.

1996 Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage 85 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Crozes-Hermitage
Medicinal. Minerals and a lean acidic body. Terroir more than fruit. OK.

1995 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde 79 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie
Thin, acidic, and stripped of any real character. This must be a bad bottle?

1990 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert 93 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Crozes-Hermitage
Nice funk, earth, and barnyard to go with the wonderful Syrah fruit. Grilled meats poked it's head out as well. Good concentration, mouthfeel and finish.

Thin and acidic. Not offering much at this time. Not flawed, just a bit lean.

1996 Tardieu-Laurent Cornas Vieilles Vignes 85 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Cornas
A bit closed on the nose. Seems to show good concentration, but closed on the palate as well. Mostly showing minerals at this point. Not much pleasure right now.

1996 Alain Voge Cornas Vieilles Vignes 85 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Cornas
Closed wine. Good concentration, but this is showing nothing at this point. Give this cellar time, hopefully it will blossom.

1996 Domaine des Baumard Quarts de Chaume Grand Cru 96 Points

Beautiful wine, as always. Bannanas, white raisins, minerals, chaulk, and tropical fruits. Amazing complexity and length. Great sweetness, with the prerequisite acidity. WOW!

1997 Bonny Doon Vineyard Roussanne 88 Points
USA, California
Custard, lemon, and carmel nose. Very chard like in thickness. Nice musk, but the finish had a bit too much of oak.
