1996 Wendouree Cabernet Malbec

A second bottle opened today.
Simliar details, excellent cork and similar tasting profile to previous tasting note, however, this example was a little more 'alive' and robust.
Bottle variation/cellaring history could be in play, as was sourced from auction.
Overall, very pleasant experience.

2008 Robert Moncuit Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Les Chetillons

Lovely mid gold. Nose of sweet lemon curd and hint of wet limestome. Touch of apple.
Palate full and deliciously rounded. Lemon flavor that extends to the finish which is crisp, dry and delightfully mineral. Depth of flavour lingers in the mouth.
Still young and youthful. 92+

2018 Leeuwin Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Art Series

Nose of concentrated ripe blackberry and cassis, highly perfumed and still quite primary. Palate is full of dark fruit flavour, beautifully balanced. Coating the mouth in layers of cassis and blackberry. Tannins hardly noticable. The finish is long and nicely cushioned. One of the best 2018 cabs I've tried. Lovely drinking now but has years ahead of it.
