Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[JohnM]

I'm sorry to say a total of four including me. Sad really.

I'll rate that a bare pass .

Not sure about this wine at all - found it in my quaffing rack. Don't remember where I bought it - perhaps a Virgin Wine case.

And now the Santiago lounge:

Just a lazy Monday night in Chicago...

Quite decent drinking. Tasted a lot like the 2004 but with a more developed flavour (and colour). Not bad for something found lurking in the pantry :shock:

Why can everyone else take better photos than me????

I had the 2009 Murdoch James on the weekend. Very nice.

LOL. Maybe they consume more (or less) before the photos. Or just luck. Give us more photos so we can tell!

We wanted to get home before midnight

That is easily arranged...

Speaking of which, when are we doing lunch?

comments? Should be drinking well now?

Great martinborough vineyard to visit with good tasting rooms and nice restaurant.

The Murdock James pinot wasn't a wine I was familiar with. Was recommended by my local VC merchant and at $30 I thought worth a punt. Enjoyed the first and went back and bought the remaining stock of 6.

Rich dark colour. Wet earth/barnyard nose which I enjoyed. Elegant spice yet beefy ripe fruit and fine balanced tannins.

The boys loved it (despite reservations about it's young age)! I didn't try it but you know what they say... happy them happy us

I think she meant before midnight on the night of the dinner - not of the next night :mrgreen:.

I think I said: "is that what I think it is?!?!"

I managed to be in the vicinity of the Magill Estate cellar door while in ADL this week and noticed they are still selling the 2010 St Henri - (I think) it was $110 less 15% for members
