Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

Who says you can't have read on a stinking hot day...when indoors with the air-con pumping

9 Bottles of Rockford basket press 2015 for a 40th . While young it was smooth and delish

 

[baiden]

Any other thoughts or ideas? I still have room in my bags, and haven't finalised my packing, so any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Suggest Shiraz-Cabernet which I think is very Australian. Something from Coonawarra like Wynns V&A.

A quintessential au red , raw and big boned , high acv, over the top in everything...…. pref from a nobody little winery that tastes like nothing else from anywhere….
What that exact wine is.. is very much a personal decision, but I opine that my concept is sound in terms of making a statement

It certainly would - I've seen Chris Ringland's stuff for sale in the UK - 16% certainly clears out the ear wax. Maybe something a bit more subtle

Had two vintages of the same French Pinot in a Brisbane restaurant. Both were very nice but completely different flavours between the two vintages. Good thing we had the 2014 first as the 2011 was much heavier.

Hey boomy, interested to know how that 2011 Vat 1 is travelling?

 

[amaroo]

Decanted and took sometime to open, quite nice once it did.

Outstanding drop but give it few more years if can resist.

Haven't had a Bobby for ages and forgot just how nice this wine is. Whilst still very young, it's a beautiful wine, so different from the Barossa wines I usually consume. I'd love to come back to this wine in a few years.

I have 3x 2015 that I purchased at yhe winery in 2017. The winery is worth a visit especially in winter if you like fortified wine. Theirs are fabulous and in particular the Isabella Topaque of which I only have half a 375ml bottle left.

A blend I don't recall having tried before, I was quite surprised how much I like this velvet smooth wine. Aromatic, spicy, considering you can get it for $13/bottle I'm impressed .
