Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[petethemoskeet]

What's the plan for day two and three though?

Get more wet on the inside.

Birthday dinner at Olive Tree for one of my nieces last night - pity she was ‘cyclone imprisoned’ at Noosa at the time - still the show must go on huh?

We were considerate enough to FaceTime her with a lovely rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’ as we quaffed the night away

Had this little number while preparing for the big cyclone which eventually didn’t do any damage in Brisbane apart from emptying the shelves at Coles and Woolies.

How was the Saltram Journal? I am interested to know whether it is ready to drink yet. Thanks.

Well there you go. Can get something decent out of Marlborough rather than the cat's p1ss SBs

They tell me the cyclonic conditions will last for three days. Just in case.

What was your verdict? I had one recently and it did get better 6 months after I had it the first time.

Post cyclone with duck and orange.

Was closed on the first day, admittedly I did not decant just used an aerator. Got much better the second day but it wasn’t impressive. Probably because it’s far too young.

Perfect match to Rogan Josh

Off to a flying start.

The first of this lot for a lazy afternoon.

What's with the coughpy XL5 glass you heathen?

Also what happened to the bottles. They look about as clean as my car at the moment.

 

[JohnM]

We have 16 blokes from my final school year here, so it’s a taste only. We’re about 7 wines in and all have been cracking good.

Tasting, grazing and great company on a PERfect afternoon.

Very surprised any are drinkable!

Very surprised any are drinkable!

Well, you'd be completely surprised, then.

We ended up opening the first ten and all were incredibly sound. The 2002 Moss Wood displayed the greatest primary fruit characters and, for me, it was a toss-up between that and the 2005 Basket Press as the best. But there wasn't much in it between them and the other eight. Extraordinarily close field.

Those under cork still had sound closures.

Peter has a large cellar somewhere outside his home. Despite the dusty appearance of the bottles, they have all been well-stored.

We opened the half-ullaged bottle for a laugh. Of course it was stuffed.

Gradually, blokes had to drift off for family and other commitments, so a few stayers finished off a great afternoon chewing the fat over a couple of cult Talijancich stickies.
