Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[Cruiser Elite]

It's the first one I've had, but it opened up beautifully over a couple hours

1 bottle lasts over 2 hrs in your Hacienda? How can this be so?

Having almost zero experience in Australian wines, can any of you enthusiasts suggest similar things I would like in Australia? I think I like blends - I like complexity. I like silky smooth finishes. Full bodied.

Torbreck The Steading is a GSM you might like.

I’d like to bring a bottle home to share with @Daver6 to get a kid’s opinion , but I’ve still got a couple of weeks to go in Sri Lanka, so it isn’t practical.

Do you need my postal address?

Purchased as auction in 2011. I've had a bad run with corks of late but was pleasantly surprised when I stood this up in the cellar last night to find that I had taken it to a re-corking clinic in 2012. This is from 1996 which was an excellent vintage in the region. Alcohol only 13.5% and the wine is in excellent condition and drinking beautifully now.

loved the old bin 28,had my last 2 bottles of 96 in 2010 but sadly one of them is corked.

Well i had a pleasant surprise tonight.Bought this bottle just to see if they could make a good wine as the owners boasted to me.
..

It was damn nice.A little sweeter than i'm use to but good body and velvety smooth.Had thrown a decent crust.
I just wish I was back in the Hunter still selecting the wines for the masked tasting at the wine club.Don't think anyone would think such a wine could be produced in Gladstone,QLD.

Continuing the clean up of my cellar and wines I should have drunk earlier.My gosh I had a good palate when I was young.A 44 years old Tyrrells Hunter Shiraz bottled for the Queens Silver Jubilee.Notes say would get better with 3-4 years of cellaring.Well this was cellared for 44 years.Yes past it's peak but delightful drinking.still a good colour and bouquet.Cork came out whole and very easy drinking.Really enjoyable.
