Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

Had a break from the run of the mill Aussie wines and went for this ‘05 Pinot tonight. My last of 3 purchased through Langtons 12 or 18 months ago - it was nice but unfortunately nothing on the previous 2

Oily on the nose, oily on the palate.
I don't usually like or drink Chardy and this one doesn't make me change my mind. You could probably run a kero heater with it.

Barossa isn't exactly Chardonnay growing country. Suppose they could get fruit from the Adelaide Hills.

With 5% Viognier, this wine is smooth and well rounded. Young with plenty of life left in it. Did a good job of washing away the oil!

Unsolicited advice:
Drink your Chardonnay with bubbles.

From a French producer.

In the appropriate region!

Guess where that might be?
There may be a prize!

I agree. I don't drink chardy, or pinot noir. But put them together ...

Hmm! Excellent suggestion. Have sometimes topped up my last glass of Pinot with MrsTMA’s Chardonnay on a Sunday night.

Add a dash of pinot meunier and some bubbles and you are on the right track.

I'm guessing the north east of France.
Perhaps Reims?

In the Barossa, not many producers seem to make a straight grenache . Rockford used to
This '16 is a fine easy drinking wine, perfect with food. Very fine tannins, medium finish. I'm happy to be drinking it.

That’s a bit blurry Buzz, you forgot to mention the greasy diesel properties the wine has
