5/19/2024 - Pontifax Likes this wine: 94 points

Very different style from Tyrell's Vat1 Semillon....
On nose: toasted brioche, vanilla/ oak, and ripe canteloupe melon.
On palate: all above flavours firing in unison....in addition to notes of white pepper, Seville orange rind, roasted almonds, and a note of barley sugar....all displayed on an elegant , fullish body, with present but restrained acidity.
After a 1 hour decant, the balance and freshness of this 8 year old wine , is a pleasing accompaniment to herbed roast chicken, roast potatoes and braised cabbage/ carrot medley....good value at $27.00 in Vancouver...my wine merchant has 3 more bottles....but he will no longer have them tomorrow!😎

Barossa Valley Shiraz, Syrah more

5/18/2024 - Brent25 Likes this wine: 93 points

Clear deep ruby/garnet with big staining legs; clean medium plus nose of plum jam, blueberry compote, cassis, balsamic and leather; dry; high acidity; medium tannins; high alcohol; full body; pronounced flavour intensity; palate has fruit payoff with addition of cocoa, figs and dates; long finish; drink now or in 5 years; comfortably in its drinking window; sadly, this was my last bottle - if I had another bottle I’d wait another 2 years for further development; concentrated and inky with a seductive, velvety mouthfeel; a little hot but easy enough to overlook given the delicious tertiary; best with dry aged beef to complement the wine’s complexity

What a surprise. 100% semillion that drinks very nicely, with food in particular. Good acidity, notes of ripe stone fruit with some herbs dominate; kept evolving with air. Paired seafood dishes and some cheeses very well.

Browning, developed colour. Nose is gentle but suggests warmth. Some berries but mostly leathery. Palate is resolved but there is some length here and it doesn't feel heavy or alcoholic. Maybe needed a bit more density and complexity to warrant the price but all the raw materials are there to suggest that this is a cuvee to pursue in future vintages.

Drank last of these with Elle home for a tasting (since she gifted to me).
Similar to previous bottle, incredibly floral with lots of rubber and asphalt on both nose and palette.

Garnet, medium+ meniscus. Raspberry, black cherry and black currant are the fruits under the anise, bramble, tobacco and did I mention rubber/asphalt. Interesting wine

Big amorphous, lethargic wine but I liked it. All weight and concentration, with restrained tannins, a black olive, briery, plummy linger, modest acidity. Grows on you.

Very dark and pruney, this wine did not show the personality of Grenache to me because it was overdone.

Big and very concentrated but without the heat of over ripeness. Everything is so plummy meaty ripe and full that you would think this over the top but its not. Really integrated

2021 Torbreck Grenache Hillside Vineyard Barossa Valley

more

5/4/2024 - La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 93 points

Wine Spectator Grand Tour (Las Vegas, NV): Comprised of 100% Grenache that was source entirely from the 72-year-old Hillside Vineyard, this was aged for 18 months in 2400-liter, once-used oak foudres. Deep ruby in color, it offers aromas and flavors of red currants, raspberries, lavender, cocoa, clove and loamy earth. Medium-to-full-bodied and with only a hint of wood, it buttresses its flavors with lively acids and plentiful fine-grained tannins. The wine's 15% alcohol lurks quietly, not adding significant heat when served at the proper temperature. Solid in the middle and long on the finish, this is a terrific Barossa Grenache that should provide plenty of pleasure over the next 10 years. Drink now-2034.

This is terrific, sporting notes of peach, Jonathan apple, and Canary melon throughout. Nice density here, with plenty of ripe fruit and hints of oak weaving in. Good balance too, with a healthy dose of minerality and enough acidity to provide tension.

60% Grenache, 21% Shiraz 19% Mataro (Mourvèdre), from a tricky, low harvest year in the Barossa Valley. Smooth, fruity and strong, forest floor and damp earth notes. Had it with bbq beef, which was a solid pairing.

Another bottle of the same vintage and I can only confirm the first note. Drunk over two evenings the wine is clearly better on day two. A stunning qpr and definitely decant.

Notes describe it accurately as a powerful.
Concentration of blackberries. Red licorice and rootbeer.with slight anise. Roses on the very end?
Unmistakable, hedonistic Australian. Love it. Not as refined in its powerful profile as Realm The Bard. But who cares!

Power, finesse and elegance.

The Viognier is the secret sauce here. It gives what would have been a brute wine into something that is approachable and very refined (for a Barossa from a hot year!). Dark fruit with notes of cherry and plum on the nose, the body is earthy, sweet and bitter at the same time. There is an intensity but with superb balance and precision. Lovely tannin and acidity. Lovely long finish.

Drink now or 6+ years from now.

Though blinded, the lip/mouth of the btl pointed us towards Runrig as quite a number of us are somewhat still familiar with Oz wines. 🤣 There was a bit of floral aromatics (I had hoped for more; Had some Runrigs before that was much more floral) but this was more dominated by dark-berries, smoked meat & a bit of chocolate. Quite a nice contrast from the Ringland, this could be considered more elegant (between the 2) with earth, chocolate and more black berries notes on the palate. Nice, but I seemed to recall having Runrigs that showed better than this occasion...
