I have always like the Wanderer wines and this one is no exception. Nine years old and still feeling quite fresh with an underlying vibrancy. It is certainly at the more elegant end of pinot, painting in water colours but showing bright strawberries and cherries, very fine and well integrated tannins. Perhaps lacking marginally in length but such a pretty wine, well defined and the bottle disappeared very quickly which is always a good sign.

This is still in such terrific shape, amazing depth and fruit quality, silky smooth and fantastic drinking. Fully resolved and soft tannins, rich plummy fruit, cedary oak seasoning, touch of five spice and cloves. In great nick for 21 years of age, almost at the end of my stash now.

2020 Wantirna Estate Cabernet Merlot Amelia

Disappointing effort here, felt quite dilute and lacking any real interest which is annoying given the price point. No representative of the high standards of Wantirna. Flavours of ripe raspberries, tomato leaf, cedar and herbs, a very water colour version of Amelia and hoping it gains some depth with a little age but hard to see that happening.
