Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

My last bottle of the 2009 vintage tonight.

Paired with eye fillet, garlic prawn topper, mix of regular and sweet potato chips plus salad.

This specific bottle has some history having been for a swim not once, but twice!

It went under in the Brisbane flood of 2011 and then again in 2022.

Pungent and rancid on the nose, a deep murky brown with notes of old tyre, floating furniture and a subtle hint of fertiliser. A deep layer of sediment gives way to a finish of lingering mould.

But enough about the flood. 🤣

The wine was smooth and delicious.

Edit: not a bad effort after a long day:

Well @Cruiser Elite that is quite a haul. I was thinking about taking a couple of bottles of Krug to our annual Christmas Carol evening in a couple of weeks. We can dream that we are flying SQ in first class and the champers might improve our singing. Dan Murphys have it on special.

First c rack at SQ R or F steady? Seriously I have no idea what SQ are thinking with these 5 alternate Champs - they are all cough and just not up[ top sc ratch - offer the PH RARE as an alt instead - now there is an idea. As for that Shiraz in F that has replaced Bogan well it is cough too - negative feedback sent twice already

First crack since ‘19
 
I get to indulge on SQ in January and May. Too bad Mrscove doesn’t imbibe nor does she do shellfish and caviar. More for me is a concept I can live with.
Now my weight has dropped post the knee operation as I don’t feel hungry. Go Krug!
