A few recent drops - no pics right now as posting from my phone:
- Penfolds RWT 2011: a stark reminder of how bad the 2011 vintage was. Whilst it's actually a decent drop, it's nowhere near the quality you'd expect of an RWT and definitely not worth the full asking price. Hints of your big Barossa tastes, but generally lacking follow through IMHO
- Hewitson private cellar release Shiraz Mourvedre 2005: drinking very nicely now (of you avoid the sediment). Cork was still in good shape and the shiraz nicely offset by the mourvedre
- Bleasdale Generations Shiraz 2012: a bit of a revelation here: nice body, not too much fruit, lasted two days without deteriorating. Not one to buy if you're looking for huge flavours as I think it's a bit restrained, but a nice drop for the price.
