Good times were had.

We had some fun last night!

The Mount Mary were both close to being past it, the Dorrien was just drinkable, The Howard Park was as you would expect, devine and Koltz is now one of my favourites, so I always enjoy drinking wine from there, regardless of vintage

I missed one, we also had a Lindemans 1990 St George cab/sav.....

Popped open a 2010 Wynns CSM tonight and it is drinking perfectly.

Pinot Noir night here. The Lot 16 is very juicy, medium to full body, deep dark red fruit, velvety mouth feel with a reasonably long finish. It is drinking well now but I look forward to trying in 5-7 years.

Tried Taylors temperature challenge tonight.



My conclusion, It's impossible to keep wine in ideal drinking temperature (according to Taylors labels) outside the wine fridge, even when room temperature is set on 18C.

Solution: Drink faster

Purchased a couple of these (as well as some Pinot Noir) at the cellar door several years ago. Cracked the first one of these tonight. Needed a couple of hours in the decanter to really open. A really subtle, refined Chardonnay. Will wait another couple of years before opening the other bottle.

I believe the term that you're actually looking for is "solution orientated"

Or maybe "supersaturated solution"!

Thanks for your recommendation before my holiday to the LOTFAP ~18 months ago cove. I'm a happy little Vegemite tonight.

'08 Alexander valley Silver Oak Cab Sauv.
Beautiful nose, full body, oak, ripe fruit, powdery tannins and a long finish. Different style to Aussie CS and a very wine.

I am glad you have my type of taste buds Steady.

You two should get a room (and a bottle of Silver Oak).

Good wine is made to share...... isn't it?

It's lucky the weather is too warm for a hot-tub chaps!

Yarra Yering Dry Red N°1 1999:
just awesome. Blood red colour. Intense cassis, olive, dusty earth, cigar box and a hint of eucalyptus on the nose. The palate is smooth, medium bodied with soft tannins all sustained with just 12.5% alcohol. The finish of savoury spice and graphite. Just great left-bank style Bordeaux. CT93

I sent him a text instead

A couple of nice wines last week...the standouts were

GB Meshach 2005 - One of my go to wines...powerful.. rich... intoxicating...lashings of coconut...massive fruit sweetness but far from cloying with the oak mellowing behind it - absolutely delish!!!!

Dalrymple Pinot 2013 - Huge on a pinot scale ,which is probably why I enjoyed it so much, deep crimson, strawberries and toast like oak - Excellent
