2018 Brookland Valley Chardonnay Reserve
4/7/2024 - cogo44 Likes this wine:
Lovely bright golden colour in the glass. The nose is an appealing amalgam of peaches and cream and nougat. Barrel fermentation is very evident in the mix. The palate has a creamy texture backed with enough acid to carry the fruit weight to the back palate. A very food friendly chardonnay that exemplifies the Margaret River in spades.

2014 Tyrrell's Sémillon Single Vineyard Belford
2/8/2024 - cogo44 Likes this wine:
A bright gleaming yellow colour leads to a nose of lanolin, lemon and hallmark emerging honey. A slight spritz remains but blows off with time in the glass. The palate is quite creamy and fuller displaying the warmer vintage of 2014.The typical Belford honey notes of the Elliott era Belfords is well to the fore. The wine is well within its drinking window but will certainly hold for at least another five years. A very pleasing wine to accompany many dishes. Tonight it will be with freshly caught gurnard and whiting.

2010 St Hugo Cabernet Sauvignon Coonawarra
1/29/2024 - cogo44 Likes this wine:
Green capsicum and peppermint greet the nose suggesting a lighter expression of Coonawarra Cabernet to follow. The palate picks up the acid throughout the tasting. However a medium to lighter bodied flavour of mint and chocolate follows. Not a great wine but more than pleasant enough for summer drinking in Australia. The wine does lift with aeration in the glass.
