A mix of wines with a theme oriented around wines from the Cabernet family, but ended up also including some wines that were Merlot dominant and Petit Verdot dominant as well. Nonetheless, an enjoyable set of wines and an informative tasting.
In addition to the Tyrrell's HVD 2005, there was also a bottle of Leo Buring Leonay Riesling 2006 going around, however unfortunately I missed this one.
The La Serre brace and the 407 were the wines I enjoyed the most. The 2004 Bin 407 was a surprise, as I recalled not enjoying these as much over the past couple of years. The HVD Semillon was a great wine to start proceedings...oh to have a stash of this in the cellar now!

A cheeky lunchtime glass today - this is absolutely flying at the moment, lovely soft acids, a touch of brioche now emerging, good length and exquisite balance. Classic Hunter Semillon in its prime...hope you all have some left! No rush to drink if from a cool cellar.
