Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[Buzzard]

That's a huge spoil! Do you deserve it? It's Monday too.

I need a drink whenever I get home from Armidale :

Wolf Blass Limited Edition Cab Sav 2011 matched with Rib Eye steak tonight.
Although 2011 wasn't a good year for the Barossa IIRC, I really enjoyed this drop after proper decanting.

That is a well made wine from a pretty average year...

I decided to spoil myself tonight-

.

1976-the other 2 can wait.

I'm on the hunt for one of these - my birth year. Any suggestions where to buy from?

I shared a 1976 with guests on my 40th birthday and it was sublime. Did you and mrs.dr.ron finish it in one sitting??

Getting it with the correct provenance can be a challenge. Langtons don't have any on offer in their current fine wine auction.

I think I know the answer to that question :!:.

Interesting tasting tonight in the QF BNE J lounge - Jacobs Creek Shiraz and Cab Sav Double Barrel 2012 aged in whiskey barrels!

Sorry, forgot to upload the photos.



They both taste very smooth for 2012 vintage, especially the Cab Sav

Mrsdrron doesn't drink reds-they precipitate migraines.So when I open a bottle I consume it over 2 nights.Use a resealer thingy.
So tonight a wine that was past it's recommended cellaring time by the Wine Society.A 2000 shiraz from very old Barossa vines they say.Reccomended to cellar until 2010.Well they got that wrong.Probably at it's peak now but unfortunately I took their advice with the other 2 I had.

drron, I think you need assistance from someone of a similar generation who understands these things to help in your mission to cleanse your cellar :!:. Funnily enough, I know just the person .

That's OK JohnM, drron already has my details :mrgreen: (or at least thought he did - strangely I haven't gotten a call ....)

You mean that he should be teaching the younger generation to appreciate these things...

I happen to be available for the task
