Too light to drown out a loud group of children playing Roblox after a hot day of the beach. Respectable minerality, better than the beach sand, and acidity to cleanse my palate but won't go well with our home made ravioli.

Well made but forgettable. Very consistent solid body across the palate with respectable intensity

Pleasant and so easy to sip but no personality

GF says 'I really enjoyed that'. I think it's bland. Inoffensive but totally forgettable. Beige.

Best Langmeil I've had. Big fruit, balanced, all great

90-91 too round and broad. Didn't have the delicacy or nuance of a prior vintage let alone the intricacy of their pinot, too round and warm

Expected more from Leeuwin. Priced cheap, tastes cheap ... so fair enough I guess .... but again expected more

Enjoyed this affordable Barolo. Scented apple cord but enough leatheryness on its light body to make the mid palate a satisfying journey

12/26/2023 - SlimShaney Likes this wine:

Solid and well made, nothing bad, nothing amazing either

12/24/2023 - SlimShaney Likes this wine:

OK but feels like a slightly odd weird blend, it's fine but not interest in another

12/16/2023 - SlimShaney Likes this wine:

Much better than previous note. Not amazing, but refreshing and just enough acidity to be a little refreshing

12/8/2023 - SlimShaney Likes this wine:

Dry odd fruity white. I needed a change from Chardonnay and this certainly was that. Starts crisp but ends butter wirh burnt orange

12/6/2023 - SlimShaney Does not like this wine:

Drinkable like a Big Mac is edible. Mass produced mundane juice hyped up

Needs a few years to integrate the noticeable 15.4% alcohol bur awesome dark cherry fruit

Super fruit forward Cabernet, low tannin, gentle but bold, enjoyable but too simple to be great

Shiraz / viog ... poorer man's run rig, brilliant

Can't really think of any other noteworthy Aussie Malbecs. What's the best Aussie Malbec? I'm going with this.

Going to be magnificent. But more

11/25/2023 - SlimShaney Likes this wine:

This will be magnificent but cellar for 5+ years. Pleasure sitting here at the winery

Sweeter with a caramel texture... whilst Barossa is my heart and soul, I tend to prefer TH Maclaren wines - except Zippy - bring back Zippy!

Lovely gentle, Aus grenache certainly nothing like CNDP (horrible btw) give me new world Grenache (if I have to drink it)

Thoroughly enjoyable which overshadows its simplicity. Really well done. First Two Hands pinot I've tried - as a member and having collected TH for over a decade

Lovely Riesling, beautiful blend of acidity and sweetness even though I'm drinking the 2023 in 2023

A tiny bit better than the premium Shiraz (though I give the same score) needs a few more years - then enjoy a very true to place quality Shiraz

11/25/2023 - SlimShaney Likes this wine:

Gomersal premium Shiraz, lovely fruit shiny through and hints of richness found in more expensive Shiraz

11/25/2023 - SlimShaney Likes this wine:

Absurdly cheap for a respectable, and quite delicate, cab but not big enough for my palate

11/25/2023 - SlimShaney Likes this wine:

Pleasant and for the money it's good and harmonious but too thin for my palate and a dry talcum powder residue

What a lovely rose. Ill not make any of the stereotypical rose comments, this is aromatic and dry and respectable, well done

Lovely and not to sweet - bravo, miraculously a Riesling I can drink

11/25/2023 - SlimShaney Likes this wine:

Lovely but not brilliant, enjoying the 2 grapes but they're distinct rather than harmonious

Simple but great fruit, adds a point or two after breathing for an hour

The best TLF I've tried, already harmonious and the whole actually is better than the sum of the parts

Apparently won world's greatest Shiraz... but frankly it's cheap and it's ok for a 'pub wine' but no more. These awards are ... meaningless, not sure who else entered. Zero interest in buying or cellaring
