Amazing colour and toasty nose with a dry bready long long finish. Super posh.

Classic claret. Rich for the vintage. Still showing well.

big chewy tasty chianti.......probably needs a few years....still quite feisty out of the bottle

Dry fresh claret. A good rich colour just starting to develop some brick hints around the rim. Nose is liquorice and leather. Lacks a little sophistication on the palate. A solid drinker in middle age.

Mellowed over the last few years and lost the rich dense chewy tannins to be replaced with a more balanced approachable very Spanish wine. Delicious and complex and still getting better.

Bit primary....needs air and time but the pieces are in the right places.

Still tight but concentrated and with a distinct profile. Sense it will develop positively and has enough about it to make it really enjoyable now.

5/31/2014 - drunkstar wrote:

Love it. Crisp, clean mineral sancerre with fantastic balance and poise.

5/6/2014 - drunkstar wrote:

Sous bois nose with an intriguing funk wound right through it. The palate is developed and has a nice sense of age to it with smooth tannins. Really good and a long sour fruit finish.

easy enough but should deliver more at this px

I love the tollot wines. Pure Pinot expression at a sensible qpr.

Definately good enough. Nicely put together

4/22/2014 - drunkstar wrote:

I like this. Some sour fruit making this a cut above some generic Pinot. Not a complex deep wine but certainly very moarish.

fresh, flowery nose with a dose of honeysuckle....almost Viognier like .....and then clean and slatey on the palate....delicious

Med island red with nice rhone overtones. A bit of garrigue, feels like a mid range Rasteau or Gigondas

4/19/2014 - drunkstar wrote:

I like this a lot. Flowery citrus nose with lots going on but it's restrained and very collected on the palate (I hate "busy" white wine) good acidity and length means this is a great bottle to open on its own on a sunny afternoon. It feels like it would stand up well with light seafood etc too.

4/18/2014 - drunkstar wrote:

Meh. Uncomplicated Pinot. Not offensive just a bit simplistic

4/18/2014 - drunkstar wrote:

Lovely cool salinity and minerality that is right up my street. Acidic with out being overly so and a lick of fruit just to balance it all out. Very summery.

4/11/2014 - drunkstar wrote:

Mature more expressive on the palate than the nose. Sour fruit with some leather. Still dark in the glass but maybe not as dense as it used to be.

Meh

Love this. Light minerally balanced Sauvignon. Really refreshing and with a lovely apple juiciness and a long finish. Summer in a glass

Slatey melony appley delicious juice. Love it

2/16/2014 - drunkstar wrote:

Excellent fizz. A complex nose and mouth full that comes across well balanced and with lots of depth. Could be a new benchmark for me at this price point.

like a particularly rich yeasty sherry this has a long long finish with nutty savoury notes throughout.....a perfect cheese wine

great value pure quality pinot.... this is a great wine to just pop and pour, i should buy more

Fresh liquorice chunky rhone. Really like. Would buy again.

Can't believe I managed to hang on to this for so long. 7 yrs after the fist bottle this is maturing well. The minty eucalyptus notes remain startlingly intact as does the black current. Still delicious and growing old gracefully.

Delicious Sangiovese. Fresh minerally Youthful and boisterous. Tannins don't overpower it and the length is astounding. Drinking well now but will continue to develop from here.

11/16/2013 - drunkstar wrote:

Pretty delicate light wine with a long finish. A lovely colour in the glass and just enough earthy mushrooms notes to balance the fruit. Love it and will only get better.

11/9/2013 - drunkstar wrote:

Soft approachable yet with a solid full mouth feel that's points to a good few years yet. 2006's drinking well now with a nice freshness.

Delicious and funky. What a good rosso should be. Approachable and still has potential age a little. Super value.

Vineking Pinot selection sep 2013. Nice enough. Quaffable but not fine. Sour fruit with a long finish.

9/2/2013 - drunkstar wrote:

Excellent fruity claret with delightful savoury flavours. Long finish and smooth aged tannins. I've struggled before with this producer but this wine is singing with just a quick decant.

8/31/2013 - drunkstar wrote:

Solid approachable claret. Soft and fruity with a pleasing dustiness on the palate. Not exceptional but certainly worth the money. Suspect there isn't much more to be had from age but should be good for another 5+ yrs

8/25/2013 - drunkstar wrote:

Pretty elegant floral subtle complex with a finish that just keeps giving. Nice mineral salty lick to it that keeps the honey balanced. Almost like a subtle wine version of a salted caramel if that makes sense.

just fab sancerre.....dry, salty, slatey, balanced....everything it should be....and apparently these wines age too....delighted

7/4/2013 - drunkstar wrote:

I love this wines austere tone. It is lean and mean with a mineral streak that supports the delightfully sour fruit. The finish is long and the wine is drinking well.

Delightful on the first proper hot day this year.

Awesome cultured Aussie blend. Glaetzer rocks

6/27/2013 - drunkstar wrote:

Lovely smokey iodine nose. A whiff of Islay malt whiskey on top of the perfumed fruit. Dry tannins and a dollop of oak lead into a dense chewy evolving finish that never seems to quit.

6/24/2013 - drunkstar wrote:

Well balanced claret with a long finish and all the characteristics you crave from a good bottle of Bordeaux. If i was to be critical not incredibly complex and potentially a little thin and tart on the palate. Solid drop.

6/21/2013 - drunkstar wrote:

Still fresh and youthful. Blackcurrenty clarety goodness. Long finish for a second wine

6/5/2013 - drunkstar wrote:

Sad to drink last bottle. Long finish and lovely Cabernet black fruit and minty goodness.

6/1/2013 - drunkstar wrote:

Still extraordinarily youthful. But tannins starting to resolve as it enters the front of its drinking window. Deep and rich it's a really striking crowd pleaser. Still worth waiting on the rest of the case. One a year from here on in.

Rich golden colour and toasty nose. A long long finish and a muscular style. Super stuff and clearly years will improve it.

I love Mac Forbes wine and for a single vineyard pinot this provides tremendous value.....its pure fruit expression and clean palate mean this is a no nonsense mid week quaffer of the highest standard

Tastes like wot its sposed to. Probably a little rough around the edges but that's underlying some delightful sour fruit and smokey Nebbiolo goodness. Delicious but not super stellar.
