Wendouree allocations and general discussion

[WrenchHammerMcTool]

Thanks for that. I wonder if anyone can share TWF tasting notes for the Wendouree 2022 vintage that were apparently published?

And/or Wine Advocate (Erin Larkin) notes??

Lucky you! how much did you order?

Ordered a mixed dozen reds. Couple of each. Arrived today!!

What do you mean? Was CabSav marked N/A on your order form when you filled it out?

So the delivery arrived - 6 bottles of everything except for 5 Cab Savs to make a space for 1 Muscat and no Shiraz 24b

Those who had the muscat before - is it best to chill it before drinking just like you would with botrytis desert wine? And when opened - is it best to be consumed within a day or two or can it be stored for longer?

Nice one, Muscat within a few weeks and slightly chilled. We add a wedge of lime and a little ice to ours. Awesome little summer tipple.

Unreal, but real these days. I’d feel bad about doing that tbh.

So it sounds quite different to a Rutherglen Muscat....much lighter then?

I’ve not had the Rutherglen, yeah a bit lighter than some. Still full flavour intensity though and. A sweetness on the palate which works well with the lime.

tWF reviews are up for Wendouree, some a bit lower than what seems common

tWF increased their points since my initial post - now updated. I guess they can only rate what they taste on the day..... but they can always change their mind as needed

And Shiraz Malbec 93+. I was slightly disappointed initially, but they will be very good wines and they're still only around $65 per bottle on average.

Also, looks like he's made some minor amendments to the scores this morning.
