First time I’ve had the LP Rose, I prefer the billicart salmon rose I think.
08 Magill estate. Disappointed, I’ve had the 06 and 10 before and they were superb but this lacked fruit, Nothing on the nose and was very bland. Decanted for 3 hours.

That was my only 08 bottle. Definitely wasn’t up to scratch. Had been cellared the whole time since I’ve bought itSounds faulty. Possibly mild TCA or oxidised. Do you have any of it left? If so, contact Penfolds.

Artus: more funky than the average Margaret River chardonnay
M3: preferred this 2018 over the 2017 - and still only $10
Woods Crampton: perhaps my first and favourite mataro, revisited ahead of Caillard Barossa and JC's Own Sierra Nevada
DCB & Ngeringa: different styles, both delicious
Not the best Pinot I've ever had but what a treat enjoying a glass overlooking the mountains from my balcony in Lalibela, Ethiopia.

Dudditz, have never sampled that particular wine, but I am in awe of the photo. It is something that really does it for me - the circumstances as opposed to just the wine. I very much hope you enjoyed it!
Tried the 2016 first and was impressed, stunning wine!
Then I thought maybe my tasting was influenced by the prestigious award this vintage won and decided to try that 2015 next day. Not similar at all, the 2016 was far better.
