Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[Matt_01]

Dinner with some dodgy AFFers in Melbourne.

At least the wines were decent

What was the 2013 BP like. Last Friday my vehicle unfortunately took a few wrong turns and before I knew it I was at Rockfords. Whilst I was there, I asked if the 2014 was worth opening and within a couple of minutes a tasting was provided. It had been served at the lunch earlier that day, IMO the 2014 can stay in the bottle a little longer.

The 2013 was very good but can also be kept longer.

I had my last ‘11 BP bottle a week or so ago and it was in a really good place - only ‘11 left now is a magnum and I figure it’s safe for about 8 more years

I've still got two of the 11, should we be drinking them soon?

I reported a year or so back that I thought it wasn't going to get any better. I'm happy to be proven wrong. Let's face it, 2011 wasn't a great vintage for the Barossa region. May I suggest you drink one this winter and then decide what to do with the other bottle.

Edit to add
I drank my last 2 in September and October 2021

Had this really good Pinot from the Aosta Valley in the north west of Italy. Ignore the wine colour. I needed to over expose the image for the label to be visible. Lulu la Delizia in Subiaco continues to be excellent.

This bottle was better than my previous back in Feb 21 - being cork I'm sure there is a fair bit of bottle variation...

Look a wine named after penegal - The Ding Bat - sorry The Fruit Bat

 

[Major]

Occasionally I am surprised by how good a particular wine is drinking. This is one of them.
It's really good. Not big and ballsy like a McLaren vale shiraz but very smooooth. Wonderful flavour and shows no sign of diminishing quality.
A great wine from Mudgee.

 

[Assassin]

A nice NV champagne. Something different to the mainstream varieties.

This little number seemed suitable for pizza night.
Drinking well now but could be cellared for much longer.

FFS!!! A bloke is out at OT last night with peeps he really likes downing a quiet 1 or 2:

And out of the blue swoops a degenerate AFFer - clearly you can run but you cannot hide

 

[Assassin]

A definite step up on the Gardet. I got this in one of the recent Langton mystery dozens.

 

[ric_melb]

Don't know whether those bottles were from lunch or an early dinner, but you seem to be cracking a fast pace if you are there for dinner!!
If that degenerate AFFer is who I think it is please be kind to him. You don't want to hurt his feelings.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Sorry - last night - and not the serial pest - now corrected

 

[stryker]

For those that like a rose champagne on the dry side, you can't go past this (which is served in the Oman air lounge at BKK.

I'm currently on my Nth glass.

But they really don’t like you if they brought Pinot Grigio and Rose

Big fan of this house! I really like the style.
