Re: Nice Wines I have DranK Recently - Red or White

Another amazing wine from the trendy, cult Sami Odi team:

the Sami Odi Mahe & Ribo Syrah 2015


On Vivino I posted the following 95 point review:

http://www.vivino.com/users/warren-dav/reviews/64876698

"This is a fierce & firery, cutting edge Barossa Syrah. It's one enigmatic wine, mirroring its maker, Fraser McKinley. Who uses careful organic farming of a few select blocks of the famous Dallwitz Vineyard of ancient vines to craft an intense yet intricate wine that's winning many industry plaudits.

A heady mix of spirit, blackberry, ginger, sandalwood, orange pith & slate lead to a palate that is warm, richly concentrated and firery! A tsunami of firery ginger, blackberry & plum slowly fills the mouth, before blackberry, cassis, sandalwood, slate & spices drive through to a powerful lingering finish.

This is one lairy wine experience! It's out of whack lairy for me at the moment. But it's got huge promise. I love it. For now, it gets a Wozza 95/100 (4.2/5.0) from me. With more possibly to come."

Now, here's something a bit different for you:





It wasn't especially good, but nor was it bad.

I'm more into his little wine, the earlier vintage(#1,#2) fraser recommended to drink them young while the fruits is still fresh. The last 2 vintages has more depth and power, still can drink them young but i will hold them longer.

I was lucky enough to try many nice wines tonight at the cellar door.co event in Hobart. I am happy to be able to say my favourite was the '12 Grange. It was my first ever taste of Grange and after 2 generous tasting pours of 50-60ml, it easily stood above the competition- price is another matter...

I had a Sauvignon Blanc today that I really liked (the first I have liked) it was '13 Domaine A 'Lady A' at the Cellar Door

Bit like the first time you fly J after previously only travelling in Y. There's no going back now

Wow jealous!

Using your analogy, it's like flying in the Apartments, that's how I felt after tasting Grange & Hill of Grace

You must have a golden tongue, then... usually takes me a while to appreciate things.

As with flying, so with wine, when starting from the bottom then climbing up, it makes one learn to better appreciate the good things. It does take a while...

Totally agree, Afro. The Little Wine No. 6 was a sensational wine. In fact, at this early stage, I'd say it's the better wine. I'll look out for the No 1 and No 2. Thanks for the recommendation, Afro.

Any 707 or RWT's?

No unfortunately - I will post a list of wines I tasted in the next few days - the other standouts for me last night were the St Henri, WB St Johns, Wynns Michael and Saltram No1.

Oh I love the St Johns. I miss the days of it being on the F lounge menu.

Had a BBQ on Saturday with some friends back from London who wanted to drink some of their older wines (the Clonakilla and Wendouree). Everyone else who came also brought something pretty decent!



(First time posting a photo, so if it ends up too small I can find another version, or post with wines and vintages)

Yep, I definitely need a new circle of friends based on this!
