1985 Château Beychevelle

I used the excuse of my 29th Birthday to open a birth year wine, i was fortunate to have sourced this wine from a cellar with exemplary provenance and the resultant wine had structure and finess that is like no other 25 + year old wine i have had the pleasure of enjoying.
The colour of the wine is medium to brick red, which has held it's colour well. The nose still has some primary fruit of blackcurrant alongside tomato leaf, as well as attractive old leather, sweet tobacco and a touch of cedar.
The palate is layered and balanced, bright acid and fine integrated tannins give structure to earthy black fruits, cedar and graphite. The wines length is considerable with tomato leaf and briny cassis lingering.

2010 Seville Estate Pinot Noir

An attractive light red in colour, the nose begins savoury and restrained, building in the glass over time. Savoury red cherry gains subtle baking spice and gentle oak inputs.
The palate is medium bodied with plum and dark cherry fruits being dense and amply supported by integrated french oak, stewed rhubarb and rosemary complexity build towards a spicy and complex finish.
This wine was tasted from Magnum.

1995 Pipers Brook Vineyard Chardonnay Estate

Tasted from magnum, this wine is a glowing example of aged Tasmanian Chardonnay, it's developed, yet maintains acidity and mouthfeel even as it nears it's 20th birthday.
A golden yellow in colour the nose is rich with stone fruits and brioche and ever so faint gun flint aroma, continuing to grow in stature as it warms up in the glass.
The palate has flinty, mealy characters on entry that become fuller with buttery stone fruits on the mid to back palate. There is good texture with full lees characters and ever so slight grapefruit astringency. The wine is drinking at it's peak as a mature Chardonnay, and best consumed over the next couple of years.
