Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

Dinner at Martinborough Hotel. Fabulous wine list.

Really nice integrated flavours.
But this next one was just stunning. 1993! Very drinkable, lovely soft spicy tannins, still nice fruit left. Amazing.

I enjoyed a glass of this last night at the City Wine Shop, Spring Street Melbourne. We also had fun guessing their "Monday Mystery Wine"

Very refined, subtle fruit and depth. More on the lighter side.

Beef looks overcooked

Typical selection 94, mild fruit, integrated flavours.


One of the vineyards we were not able to visit this trip.
Lovely nose, quite refined character, some spice.

Very smooth drinking, wine opened beautifully after breathing for 30 minutes, decided not to decanter.

Cork disintegrated during opening - wine totally off

@Cruiser Elite coincidentally 2009 cork broke in half during opening, thought bottle could be tainted but all good. Bottle was laying down the entire time.

Backup - far from their best year but still a huge fave in our humpy
