2021 D.M.L. Vin Pinot Noir Yarra Valleymore |
4/23/2024 - KiVi wrote: NRIt was nice enough. Gave it a good decant and had the final 1/3 the next day. Always felt like I wanted more. On the nose, it was pretty but reserved. The tannin was fine and acidity noticeably bright. Drank similar from open to end (little evolution). |

2/11/2024 - KiVi Likes this wine: NRSolid. Decanted & drank slowly over a few of hours. It didn’t evolve. Maybe softened a touch which made me prefer the early glasses. |

2017 Dom Caudron Champagne Cuvée PrédictionPinot Meunier more |
12/2/2023 - KiVi wrote: 92 pointsIt was an excellent expression of Meunier. The bottle age has rounded off the rough edges I experienced in earlier tastings. It followed a Billecart Reserve Brut brilliantly and provided extra interest and body to support the starters. |

2021 Domaine Naturaliste Chardonnay Flagship ArtusMargaret River more |
9/2/2023 - KiVi Likes this wine: NRClearly well put together with a luck of high quality oak. Not as mouth filling as I would have liked but very enjoyable all the same. The nose was very classy. |

2021 Adelina GrenacheClare Valley more |
8/20/2023 - KiVi Likes this wine: 93 pointsPop and pour. Musk, spice, strawberry, rosemary in that order. Palate is bright and crunchy and reminds me of a quality neb from Piedmont. Drying fine tannin, the type that makes your top lip stick to your gums. Soooo good and I look forward to seeing where it goes in the future. |

2016 Bindi Pinot Noir DixonMacedon Ranges more |
1/21/2023 - KiVi Likes this wine: 89 pointsLast btl and best of the bunch. It’s soft, dark and ripe. Complexity in the same style. Gentle spice and mellow finish. It was nice but give me more acid, energy & complexity in a PN. |

2008 Clarendon Hills Grenache Blewitt Springsmore |
12/27/2022 - KiVi Likes this wine: 92 pointsNothing wrong with this for 14yrs young. A little pong blew off quick to expose a bright but dusty red cherry and raspberry profile. Paired with a plate of berries, smoked Brie and Porchetta 👌 #needmoregrenacheinthefridge |
