2015 Mount Pleasant Wines Sémillon Elizabeth Hunter Valley

Still young and fresh with lemon and lemon blossom with bright acidity. Honestly hasn’t moved much for an entry level wine. Will have many years ahead of it.

Received from Connie. Not as good as St Henri but reasonable value.

2012 Thorn-Clarke Shiraz Shotfire (Ridge) Barossa

Decanted for 8 hours. A medium/full-bodied wine. Plum & blackberry on the nose with a hint of chocolate. This was a lovely wine. Quite savoury with nicely balanced tannin's riding on a wave of oak & sandalwood. I still have two. I have heard it could go down another 9 years but i felt it was almost at it's peak so i'll open another one later this year or next year & see how it's changed.

9/3/18, 8:56 AM - I opened bottle number 3 of 6 recently and thought it was in great condition, sounds like yours was similar. Certainly better than I recall the first 2 being, they were opened in 2016. But I only gave mine about 2.5 hours in the decanter - do you think there's a benefit in the longer decant for wines like this? I plan to drink the remaining 3 over then next 3 or 4 years. Outstanding value for money.

Got this one for a Christmas holiday gift. Fantastic bottle, very smooth and luscious blend of Cab and Shiraz that Penfolds seems to have perfected. Pop and pour deliciousness!!

rossso commented:

7/14/18, 5:59 PM - I think you'll find that Bin 28 is 100% Shiraz

Tasted during a walkabout, WA event "a matter of taste", so no tasting notes, only short impressions. Not sure what this Port producer tries to achieve with this off the mill, me-too, hot, South Australian Shiraz.

A nice GSM (the CDP recipe)... has been better in previous years, but pretty good. I won't rush out to buy a case (our criterion with tryers) but we liked it with dinner.

rossso commented:

6/5/18, 3:33 PM - Sounds like you were drinking the blend - this wine is 100% Shiraz according to winery notes.
