  • 2017 Aphelion The Affinity

    Savoury with red berries, strawberry underpin, slight sweet spice, well controlled whole bunch. Medium plus intensity acidity, tangy, fleshy, a little textured burr, lightweight. Pretty nice.

  • 2006 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Chaupin

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    Initially savoury, gamey, meaty, sweet spice, plums, red berry in support. Soft, fruity, easy with plums and berries, grainy textured tannins persist long, handles it's alcohol well. Yum.

  • 2010 Yangarra Estate Grenache High Sands

    Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, McLaren Vale

    Rich, ripe, slightly jammy, red berry backed by savoury spice. Juicy, fleshy, red berries, less jammy on the palate, fruit forward, fairly simple, nominal texture. Hmm.

  • 2005 Château Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    Savoury, slightly meaty, a little pepper, blackberry and raspberry, alcohol helps with that peppery impression. Acidity is juicy which lends freshness but there is a fair mid palate grip as well as plenty of breadth. Yum.

  • 1998 Querciabella Chianti Classico Riserva

    Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG

    Meaty, tomato leaf, sweet spice, slightly oxidised, a little savoury cherry, leather. Medium plus intensity acidity, slightly oxidised on the palate as well, tight, slightly chewy tannins, muted savoury cherry fruit, wetly fleshy. gains a little weight and fruit with time as well as a smidge of dried orange on both the nose and palate. Okay.

Closing

nom nom nom all round...fun with the Grenache off...I think the Yangarra needed a decant of more time to show a touch more complexity...
