10/25/2020 - agnorger Likes this wine: 95 pointsPerfect balance. High toned acidity combined with sweet fruit. A finish that lasts for ever. Stack this up to any from Loire |

6/13/2017 - Xavier Auerbach wrote: 91 pointsA private lunch (Restaurant Paul Ainsworth at No 6 *, Padstow, UK): Fresh and mineral style, much more elegant than its alcoholic heft (14.5% ABV) would suggest, tart citrus, well-integrated oak adds richness, warmth and a yeasty note, full bodied, good drive and length. |

8/13/2016 - RVC_Wine Likes this wine: 92 pointsNow that's a syrah. Heavy cherry and cassis. Really softened over a few years, less tannins/acidity. |

5/3/2015 - cab blends Likes this wine: 91 pointsChalky nose with light fruit. Medium bodied with a hint of the acidity coming through. Reminds me a little of an Italian Super Tuscan finish. |

2009 Rudera Chenin Blanc RobustoStellenbosch more |
10/28/2014 - Pfleonard wrote: 88 pointsRobusto is certainly robust and intense. Perhaps a bit over the top on wood spice for a Chenin blanc. Overpowered my poached trout which was not the pairing plan. Was better next day when not matched with food. Good but needs better product description on bottle to avoid surprises. Well perhaps Robusto does say it all. |

9/29/2012 - Zweder wrote: 95 pointsThis is a great wine! Black forest fruits, cedar, chocolate, cassis. On the palate the same fruits, licorice, a beautiful balance between sweetness and acidity, soft tannin with still a firm bite. A luxurious and refined wine with the silky power of a Pauillac. |

5/21/2014 - Sceptic-1 Does not like this wine: 65 pointsI can never understand why anyone would drink an overly oaked wine like this one. If I want tree juice, I will opt for maple syrup. |

4/22/2012 - Anders Danielsen Lie Likes this wine: 88 pointsmeget vellaget sørafrikansk søt chenin med distinkt, men ikke for dominerende, botrytispreg, blomster, honning osv. Søt og intens med godt balanserende syre. Veldig god og frisk sauternes-alternativ. |

11/9/2013 - rocknroller wrote: 87 pointsHigh Scoring Australian Shiraz (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Medium gold color. PNP, 2oz pour. Decent nose with some white peach, citrus and floral elements. The palate has some waxiness, peach, subtle lemon, licorice, and has good body. There is a bitters quality on the palate that I find distracting along with a subtle diesel element. |

4/23/2013 - mychurch wrote: 88 pointsLast time I tried one of these, I left the last glass in the fridge for a year and it lasted 9 months without oxidising. That was a few years ago now, and this bottle was quite different. The power and punch of youth have gone and its changing to be more rounded, with peach fruit and a touch of honey. Also darkened a lot. Not sure how these will turn out, but worth following. Again I did not finish the bottle and will try whats left in a months time to see how it has held up. |

3/3/2013 - Neurowine1 wrote: 86 pointsDrank with Fred's steak. Very interesting wine. At first subdued and rather spare but then really opened up with air time in the glass. Nice mineral and herbs, dried cherry, and just a dab of oak. Definately leaning more toward pre-2000 Bordeaux than California. Perhaps a little tired at this point but the class and quality of this one is apparent. |

1/1/2013 - cab blends Likes this wine: 93 pointsNew Year's Day Party (Our House): My second most favorite of the day - however, I should have decanted this for longer. It improved significantly over the course of 30 mins. Meaty and moderately heavy tannins with dark fruit - almost chewy. |
