Wednesday, May 25, 2016 - Written in June 2020 while on house confinement due to COVID-19 and cleaning up CT data, so this is from memory. This was the bottle that I bought at auction and shared with Salil and Josh that let us know that this was the gem that it was known to be by the very few members of the Wendouree cult. Very hard, virtually impossible, to find in the US. I got two bottles at auction after a friend was unable to find any in Australia. Dark, brooding fruit and a roasted meat presentation with incredible breadth and depth of complexity. A melange of assorted mixed pepper and spices. No individual flavor predominates, which is remarkable. Not like any other Australian wine I have ever had, and I like Aussie fruit bombs. Extreme balance and not yet at its peak. This justified trying to corner the market, which we did in June 2016 when we bought every bottle for sale in Europe that we could find and shared it among our group.
