Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[kpc]

From my recent trip to St Emillion in the Bordeaux region .....didn't last long at dinner last night!

Some wines since I returned from a holiday. The Tolpuddle is a favourite, the Delamere Rose was really good



The Dawson and James was a great Chardonnay

I love Phai







The Blue Poles reserve Merlot was spectacular


Happy Christmas fellow AFF wine enthusiasts- 2019 re-starts my drink now list, so I’m looking forward to opening some special (to me) wine that has come of age - or has been 12 months since trying last

I had a lovely 1996 black label wolf blass 2 nights ago. Very nice , smooth.
I’m so impressed I went to dan Murphy’s and snapped the 2006 on special for $89 instead of $130

A variety I'm not familiar with nor had before. A floral wine, wonderful drinking on a warm afternoon. If I had to guess what it was I would have said SB.

Over the last few weeks I've drunk the following Felton Road 2011 Pinots that I put into my wine cabinets at the same time a little while back:

Bannockburn
Block 3
Block 5
Cornish Point

This was the one that clearly stood out for holding together the best:

We had this to wash down a dozen oysters and some prawns last night.
A delicious number from the Hunter.

It’s nowhere near that here where I am in Tassie, but it was also a Rockford Black Shiraz for me - a ‘15 disgorged and beautiful

Family visit from overseas, weather was prefect on the 24th, had lunch outdoor and drink until night time. Overall even the 99 hvd still semi young, another 10 years until I open another bottle for these.

What was the sparkling Shiraz like ? I’ve never had the langmeil

It was fantastic - sadly it was the last bottle saved and anything we had after that was very second rate even though they were good wines

The sparkling was sensational.
It's about $35 IIRC so quite the bargain.

Happy New Year everyone and best wishes for 2019. This is one of two bottles we got at NOU airport dutyfree last year for $90 AUD each. As good as we had hoped - delicious.
