2002 RWT
2002 Cyril Henschke
2005 Ares

Wine of the night - RWT. Ridicolously smooth and creamy.

Perfect for the sustainably "acquired" GM free, organic, wild venison.. Slow cooked and melt in your mouth. Superb.

A couple of cheeky weekend wines. Charles is always a winner and the PN was very very good.

It was 2001, so I'm not sure I could provide any beneficial information for you compared to current vintages.

It was at the end of its life, still good drinking tho. Decanted for an hour, but got better over time in the glass.
Chocolate, Vanilla, Dark Berries, Spice. (I'm not the best at describing)

I honestly was enjoying the Champagne too much

Dinner in Noosa accompanied by this fantastic 10yr old Tassie PN served in a beautiful decanter.

Which restaurant? Rococo?

Glad you didn’t go to Locale the most overpriced underdelivering place I have been in years!

La Vida

Not many options in Hastings St on a Monday night but we were happy with the food and service. Also close enough to our hotel for +1 to walk with high heels

Mondays (and some Tuesdays) seem to be closed night and difficult to find open restaurants in Noose and NoosaVille!

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Never tried La Vida - Rococo is always goods and great staff - if you have a bit of fun with the staff your experience level will go through the roof - the best nights we have there are up in Laguna Jacks - shoots load of fun with the kids up there - but prolly not suit the old fuddy duddies

Enjoyed Marumo last night. All wines in good nick and worked well with the food.

We thought at least as good as LGA, LGD or Comtes.
Note the background home-schooling

The Eileen Hardy 2016 was an amazing wine. Lots of recommendations to cellar for a few years but drinking now was still fabulous. Blackcurrant and chocolate in abundance to this (very amateur) palate.
The De Iulis Semillon was decent but paled in comparison

 

[boomy]

Our new favourite Sparkling Shiraz (sorry Rockford).

Theme last night was 100% Malbec. Snuck in a magnum of champagne to kick things off

PERfectly correct.

It was a good night, with the wines from a wide geographic range.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Lets back up a bit. A bit more qualifiation, judgement, reccommendation needed, please? I assume there were tasting notes taken, not just a chug-a-lug? A list, and maybe a score or go / no go,

Lips, don't unpurse.

But thanks Is Margaret River a realistic producer for Malbecs?
