Glad to read you loved it.
I have a couple in the cellar, not too early to drink now?

That’s subjective, this is my 3rd of 4 with a year between each and I am more than happy to be drinking it. Fraser (& tWF) indicates the little wines are a drink now wine, and it definitely drinks very well now. It will age gracefully but will it get better? I look at it like other multi vintage vines like NV Champagne etc.

Great value CS blend, can’t fault it.
Drinks even better with a bit of ageing.

Bless me Father for I have sinned - I know this is ‘Nice Wine’ thread but where else to post this?

Cold lockdown weekend in MEL so ideal time to clean out some of the cheap sh**ty cr**py wine that somehow you acquire over a period time - this weekend out these go!

Extraordinary Pinot from Willamette valley. Aged very well, superb nose, fruit, medium depth. Hand carried home in 2012.

A very nice Champagne to celebrate our wedding anniversary yesterday

Long weekend in Perth this weekend so a Sunday night lamb shoulder with these beauties. The Andre Clout only comes in a magnum and was stunning! Drinking well now but would easily cellar another decade. Might have to see if I can source more.

The two Bordeauxs were different but also similiar. OBviously one left bank and the other right bank. Both quite tannic and both IMHO need at least another 5 years.

Congratulations!

Lovely champagne brings fond memories from BA F.

Great value Shiraz, nice and smooth and so very McLaren.



FYI 2015 was the better vintage.

Yes, I know I’m utterly predictable when I post here but it was a superb roast lamb and a nice evening …

Nah not really. It’s not even a cellar door per se.

would 35% off help?

This thread is now read only for me and left to the glitterati to pass their wisdom down to the great unwashed .
Conceptually wine is for everyone, at every price point… others may gloat at such simplicity...such is life...

you mean that you're no longer drinking, or just not anything nice?

 

[tgh]

so this was IMnsHO.. a perfectly pleasant dry red wine, ex JD..




The Glitterati may tip it down the sink but many wine drinkers, along with moi, would have enjoyed..c'est la vie

This should go brilliantly with the kassler chops, pan friend potatoes and sauerkraut for dinner. @JohnM being the heathen he is will tell you this is faulty, but what would he know
