Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[Daver6]

Na. Too young, and Cabernet and venison?

Age wise, wine is firmly in its drinking window. Nice tertiary characteristics with fruit still present. As a match, went fairly well. As for the shanks, they were good, but there's a reason lamb shanks is the classic.

Simply taking the opportunity to drink some of my cellar with good friends

And the last, but not least bottle, for the trip

Now THAT'S what I call camping.

And in an amazing place.

you would have needed a few to keep warm I guess - it would be a tad chilly up there at the moment

Saves on taking a wine fridge with you!

Lovely wine with an intoxicating nose. If you have any in your cellar, drink up though.

Nice I’ve started collecting them from 2016 onwards. Still didn’t open any. You reckon 10yr is the sweet spot?

Yeah, if you've got a few, I'd be cracking on in the next year or two to see how they're travelling.

Tonight a change to the nectar of the gods.




Lindemans Classic wines in the late 70’s were incredible value. This muscat no exception. Long list of gold medals.

TWE offloads Wolf Blass, Yellowglen, Lindeman’s, and Blossom Hill wine brands via a $290 million impairment - Drinks Trade

Treasury Wine Estates will divest its Commercial Brands portfolio by recognising a non-cash impairment charge

www.drinkstrade.com.au

It’s not getting any respect by TWE

 

[drron]

Only getting rid of the cheap lines under $10.Would think a few Lindemans would be kept. Then again for the last few years I have been in the drinking phase of cellaring and only a few favourites bought.
Though back in the day one of my good friends at Uni had a father that managed the Lindeman cellars in Sydney. Good discount was available.

A big shout-out to @Daver6 and MrsDaver6 for their generosity in putting on this tasting.

A great afternoon!
