Phwoar - this is a tasty Tawny. It’s got orange zezt combined with orange blossom honey as a primary flavour, with mocha and burnt toffee backing it up - these combine very nicely to form a full, mouth filling flavour that is not too intense. There seems to be a little fire/heat wilst in the […]
This Cab Sauv from Wirra Wirra is a fantastic drop. I think it deserves a phwoar Seems the 2006 goes for $30/btl I’d suspect that I got mine on sale somewhere for around the $20 mark but I still think it would be worth $30AUD as price of admission. The nose is fantastic and […]
It seems that having the occasional drop of red wine could really be good for you. The catch is that it seems the resveratrol is something that is very helpful for your health and diet and can be found in red wine (albeit in small quantities) yet not so much in white wine. So don’t […]
Women who drink wine avoid dementia, study says
Want a long an happy marriage, especially one where you can interact well into your twilight years - share your wine with your partner! Sounds like a good reason to pop a bottle.
This interesting blend of Shiraz, Cab Sauv and Malbec is rather tasty but beginning to show its age.
Smell - hint of menthol, red fruit and red berries.
Taste - Chunky wine with a great weight and phenomenal finish. Black fruits and berries up front, some slightly sour(this was nice, somewhat juicy) fruit and spices mid to […]
This was an effort to promote and encourage trying of different wines at my work, along with getting people to have a look at WLTV.
Email I sent out:

Nose - Hints of multi grain toast with a lemon or lime butter with the ever tiniest whiff of nutmeg and cinnamon.
Palate - explosion of little bubbles, nice sour apple with citrusy flavours and the yeasty notes that one would expect from a “methode traditionelle”, slight nuttiness ending with a wonderfully refreshing acidic crispness - […]
Left to decant for 2.5 hours before trying.
Nose - The initial overpowering smell of black currants and other red fruit have blown off - they are there but much more muted. HInts of mint and freshly opened liquorice (black) here. Very subtle hints of a forest fire miles away whilst you’re standing in a wet […]
Opening the screwcap on this 04 there was a wonderful explosion of fruit. However I’ve left it to sit in the decanter these past 45 minutes.
The nose in the glass has all sorts in it - lots of mint, some bbq hot rocks with fat burning on them and a wopping amount of alcohol.
On the […]
Coming from 109 year old vines in the McLaren Vale region of south Australia I’m expecting good things from this wine. Fairly tight nose. Some deep red fruits showing through the alcohol - plums and the like.Colour is extremely deep red almost purple.A whole heap of oak is here, not much fruit showing through. Somewhat disappointing. […]
