Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

Cheeky Sunday Chardonnay with some prawns on the barbecue

Dinner at Society restaurant in Melbourne.
Wine tour from France to Italy to Hungary

 

[TheRealTMA]

Very nice but somewhat soft so young.

 

[boomy]

Drinking side by side, last two vintages before the style changed. Both aged beautifully but 2010 is the clear winner.

This

Plus these Sydney Rock harvested this morning

Is a marriage made in heaven.
Gotta love Merimbula.

This Zin is an absolute cracker.
The first thing to hit you is the big fruit nose. After that it is a delicate but complex wine with a good length of finish. Chocolate, mocha with perhaps hint of mint. Went well with the lamb korma and beef rogan josh.

 

[boomy]

Interesting blend of Semillon, Chardonnay and Viognier.

A quintessential Barossa Shiraz.
Big bold, dark fruit, Smokey. If you like Shiraz, it’s delish.
I got 6 for 180 and it’s a bargain

Nice, courtesy of Grays I assume. The 15 was better IMHO.

Someone is selling the 2016 for $59 on Langtons, people are willing to pay more.

Was that $180 including all fees? I watched it for weeks, lowest sale was $143 and I won it for $147 but total is $198 or something.

The fees certainly hike up the end price and their buyers fees are higher than Langtons. I allow 25% on top of winning bid for total price to pay just for safety.

Also if selling through Langtons you have to take off 13.5% from selling price to get to what you actually receive transaction wise.

Yep from Grays
I couldn’t see many reviews about it, took a chance on it and it was a great wine. I’ll have to look at for the 15 if it’s better @Rug
I got it for 150 plus fees and a shipping I think it was 186

Probably closer to $200 like me, around $32-33 a bottle which is great value.

It's very similar to Chris Ringland Reservation which is $55 at Dan Murphys.

I enjoyed the Cullen and John Duval at a recent AFF meetup in WA on Thursday at The Royal. The Cullen had fine tannins with vibrant fruit, the John Duval was very juicy with red fruits and bright acid - both very nice but I think the JD was my favourite.
I picked up 2 of the Devils Corner Mt Amos Pinot Noir on an AFF event @RooFlyer put on a number of years ago, this it the first I’ve opened and cellaring has paid dividends, fine tannins, gentle acid and somewhere between red and black cherries - a great example of Tassie PN




sorry it’s not quite in focus, the blend was just right and I will seek this out in the future



I had half the Wendouree yesterday and will finish it tonight - it wasn’t great, hoping 24h will help. (I decanted half a bottle about 8h beforehand)

I was at the Amos family bicentennial weekend do last weekend. They have the Gala winery and produce the Constable Amos pinot noir @ abt $110 ea. They aren't all that happy at Brown Bros making "Mt Amos", although its a legit feature within sight of Devil's Corner.

IMNSHO Brown Bros did a good job with this PN…..

Bit the bullet with this Advice on champagne and opened the first last night. Pretty happy with it. Great value at $55/bottle and really enjoyed it

 

[boomy]

Love a good PN with some age on it.

As the dark red colour in glass indicates this NZ number is on the medium to full bodied side, no complaints here

Very nice WA Grenache.
