Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

Back to Toppys for a top up last night - 1 misfit from previous night was doing has darndest to atone but still a lot of ground to make up for him

I don't think it is a Zalto, at least not the standard Burgundy glass which I have. Bowl is too bulbous. I've seen these somewhere (else) but can't actually place the maker.

Thank you. On reflection I feel like I can possibly see a Spiegelau logo on the base, but I agree the bowl looks unusual (albeit it could just be the angle/perspective of the photo).

How was the Astralis?
People write it off as "but it's 2011" but I think it's has the pedigree to carry it thru.

Do you mind me asking what glass that is? Looks beautiful.

It’s Speigelau Definition. My go to glassware for Burgs.
I do have Zalto but I’m down to my last two after few accidents so now I keep them for special occasions / fancy Burgs.

Second bracket of Chardonnay 2016 (and couple of Burgs).
Same as the previous bracket most of the bottles were courtesy of @qaz who was again very generous.
Dinner this time was at Best Chinese Restaurant in Melbourne | David's Prahran

Trying the other one tonight. Supposedly the best. Double the price and still very closed, bitter tannins, stems? But improving with time,

Terra Sancta 'Slapjack Block' Pinot Noir 2024

Had the Shingle Beach and Estate on Friday. Was quite disappointed with each tbh. The Mysterious Diggings on the other hand was fantastic.

I rarely post here owing to the incredible wines you chaps routinely quaff but this was what I scraped from the cellar for a dinner to farewell my sweet daughter who's off to uni in Sydney. The quintet was excellent for a not great year and the 2016 Clonakilla was also very good. The Clarendons held their own nicely with the pulled lamb.

Great lineup!
