bought a 6 pack of this from cellarone, the first glass taste like a normal dry red , bold , dark chocolate, second glass are more enjoyable, sweetness comes along , this is only the second sparkling red i had so i'm not sure how to judge this, the sparkling effect does pull me off a little. i guess this need time like champagne?

When did you buy this, my st Hallet black ss looks totally different.

around March this year, i notice the difference when i search for it, it might be a different vineyard i'm not sure.

My weekend wines - both very nice. Been over 12 months since I’ve had either and both have heaps of life left

I had this last night - a very nice Shiraz. I think the 389 I had a week or so ago was faulty or heat affected

A couple of years ago myself and buddy did a wine tour of Mendoza (Maipu) and picked this one up for about $6 at the time, really nice blend of Malbec (50%) Cab Sauv (30%) and Merlot (%30)
Great memories Tempus Alba Pleno 2009

Friday night Chardonnay.

Both excellent. Eileen Hardy the pick.

I regard Peter Lehmann as one of Australia's best winemakers. I fell in love with his Mamre Brook when he was with Saltram in the 1970's. It's a pity he is not still with us.

I am pleased to see the current winemaker has carried on the tradition in making this wine one of the best around. The 2009 will live on for many years yet but is superbly smooth and silky at the moment. A really enjoyable Barossa wine

Yulumba reserve 2001 fine blend of 74% Cab Sav and 26% Shiraz, perfect match to a fine cut of scotch fillet.

Some recently consumed wines. A very savoury Merlot






This Riesling was a stunner


Tonight’s is a top notch (IMO) Pinot Noir- lots of barnyard funk

Looks very interesting. Drinkable? Doubt it, Bru.

Will let you know when I open it shortly. Fully expect it to be very drinkable. Good fill level, good provenance from an excellent vintage.

One of the classics from Montalcino from sangiovese and merlot. Brilliant drinking. Thousand times better than the cheap rubbish that QF serve on F.

I enjoyed it, it had been ~18 months since my last one and I think they are coming along nicely - starting develop.

We still have a 2010 before we crack into the newer ones.

Happy to report the wine is in good condition.

How about you and Mrs Daver6 after drinking it - plus the preceding aperitifs...? .

I'll wring the truth out of MD6 on Wednesday night while you luxuriate in whY on QF9....
