Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[afro]

Been looking for this at aldi after the review came out, finally found 4 bottles of this .
Smells clean ,light citrus fruits, a little cashew creaminess. I was having lasagna with it, not sure if it is the cheese or from the wine.
Anyway good table wine for the next 5 years.

Something a little different and delicious!

Black Shiraz was the 2016 disgorgment and singing. WOTD IMHO.

Date night with my +1 in Korea. BYO was 30,000 KRW which is about $30 AUD. The restaurant didn’t have decanters so had to use water carafe but at least they offered proper glassware. The 2016 CM was sublime!

Bingo. I was on the lookout for other AFF riff raff surprising me again, but no such luck

A long shot Buzz, not like you have much experience in such matters……

Not much age to the wines, a 12yo Moppa is nice but….

A 10yo Home Hill Kelly’s Reserve Pinot Noir for me tonight, drinking nicely. May follow up with a ‘14 Woodlands Margaret

Did you get to try the current BP?
I'd be keen to hear your thoughts.

I did... But it was after lunch. So palate was pretty shot by this point. Seemed a little more restrained perhaps than the 21. Honestly, I really need to try it again to have a valid opinion. Still grabbed a 6 pack.

I haven't placed an order yet but was thinking of giving the BP a miss instead loading up on the Rifle Range.

I also grabbed 3 each of the RR, R&S and Moppa. Mainly limited by cellar space. They also the 2019 BP magnums available as well as a magnum of BS 2001 tiraged and 2023 disgorged.

Sabato sera sta andando bene così

Who here remembers this cheapie from Vinomofo? My last bottle but OMG! What a little ripper at 11 year's of age. I opened the bottle about an hour before drinking and poured a glass about 30 minutes prior. Beautiful nose, smooth and elegant, perhaps not as long on the palate as I would have thought but it certainly is stunning. I can't remember what it cost but it was probably under 10 bucks. Certainly worth the price and the wait.

It was $22 or $25 can’t remember exactly.

I opened my last bottle last year at 10 years mark and it was awesome. The first bottle didn’t taste really good. Time really help to smooth out the tannins and transform it to a good one

I had a ‘16 Ashton Hills Sparkling Shiraz last night, sublime. A memorable bottle, shame it was my last
