[boomy]

And now to the plonk - I knew what might be available - what to chose - oh I know:

Seriously? 2005 389 in a restaurant for $110 less Member discount $15 = $95?

Very nice!

Being used to quality restaurants making huge markups on wine it’s always nice to score a bargain, like when Diana Madeline was offered cheaper than retail in BNE.

Preference: Dog Point > Arlewood > Shawdowfax > In Dreams > Tuerong

They were my second bottles of the Dog Point and Arlewood - definitely seemed better this time around

Had half and put the rest aside to try tonight- so far very nice. Silken, deep

I wasn’t too impressed on first opening - but it was mighty mighty wine by the end

Touring some vineyards today and back for round 2 tonight

How was the RWT at 7 years young?

I have to say it would be better served with a bit more sleep - but RWT just hits my soft spot - I cannot help myself - and with 3 of us attacking it it lasted like 10mins.

The second night - this time with help from Tassieoptom

Today is Mexican day, not a huge fan of whites but had this one in the fridge for a while. Wife is adamant she doesn’t like semillon.
She thought this was delicious.
Beautiful stone fruit and melon.

Somewhat helping me with the annoyance of dealing with/thinking about Advice needed: award flight cancellation and knock on issues.

 

[henleybeach]

One of Dan Murphy’s secret selection. $65 down to $25.
Had the peppermint paddock before hand and this one is defiantly richer , Fuller and a lot more flavour

Preferences: Stonier > Beechworth, Heresztyn > Muzard > Faiveley (previously shown) > Mayer

Like Punt Road Pinot Noir 2015, Stonier Reserve Chardonnay 2013 remains one of my biggest and best buys

How’s the oak on the 2000 Maurice’s O’Shea? It was very dominated when I first tried this in cellar door 15years ago.i still haven’t open my first bottle yet.

Everything was in balance once it opened up, I really enjoyed it.

 

[khussey79]

I had this tucked away thinking it was a ‘14, I noticed on CellarTracker it was ‘11 and was worried it might have been past it.
Held up pretty well, good balance and decent legs.
