[Daver6]

Best bottle of this wine I've had. I reckon into the drinking window now.

FFS if you can’t hold your liquor and complete assigned tasks don’t try to play with the big boys as you are likely to get hurt!!!

Unacceptable. See previous post!

MrsDaver6 wanted white Burgundy, but it's Australia Day. This was the compromise. Not a chance you'd confuse this for Burgundy, but excellent in its own right.

Opened up this tonight to go with a steak. A 2015 that is drinking nicely now, and also I think over the next five years.

And where was the invite?!

I went down to the cellar to look at the Chalambar.
It is 1998 vintage. I really need to get @JohnM and @Daver6 over as I haven’t been drinking much.
When we go out I take bubbles and a nice red. Mrscove is a great skipper.
Have the Cullens Diana Madeline magnums down there too

I haven’t been drinking much

Is the invite in the mail

 

[cove]

@tgh are you Perth based?
It is a bit difficult to come to WA but if you are already here we can get something happening.

 

[tgh]

Ohhhh.. gimmmeeee a break cove.. I reside in paradise.,….

It was an impromptu dinner.
We need to do proper one, long time no see…

Smart one @TheRealTMA.
We are having to keep Australia running ok from the west.
Almost doing a PERfect role I might add.
Going to a friends birthday party this weekend so I will take a 1998 Chalambar, a Diana Magnum,
a Cyril Henschke and something else. It isn’t everyday that you go to an 85th birthday party.

The Hidden Sea Rosé - dry, luscious. Aroma wise it was full of strawberries and cream which was mirrored in the palate. Also they are on a mission to remove 1 billion plastic bottles from the ocean, so each bottle of wine removes 10 plastic bottles from the ocean.

Brought some sleeping beauties out for the public holiday.





Poured right from the bottle, undecanted. Took about 4 hours to blossom.
Fantastic aromatics, slightly grainy tannins and very much brooding. Review scores slightly overrated? - I think so.

I would have thought the 2010 is about 20 years too young to drink. That said, I wouldn't wait another 20 years as I doubt I'll be here.
