2006 Esporao Reserva Red

Really nice wine. Oaked a little, and nice vanilla flavours. Lots of warm body.

Quite gritty and strong. key grape that's used in making port but without the sweetness, but not a flavour I'm too fond of.

Really lovely wine. One of the few red grapes that have red juice, so full of flavour and juicy. Red berry aroma, toasty oak and very nice with asparagus.

(2009-04-07 10:26:15 UTC) buddy icon 2007 Esporao Private Selection White "Garraferia" 87/100

Very clear in colour and nice vanilla taste. Lots of flavours actually - spice, oak, peach, etc so quite rich and complex.

nice wine, but not much of a lasting taste after swallowing. Little bit of oak but still quite fresh.

Beautiful white wine. Full of citrus flavours and refreshing, yet lots of body and depth to it. Unoaked and nice and fresh.

2007 Monte Velho White
(2009-04-07 10:17:48 UTC) buddy icon 2007 Monte Velho White 85/100

Really nice light, dry yet refreshing white wine. Tints of apple and citrus, but not too much fruit which I seem to prefer in a lot of whites. Made from stainless steel and a very nice easy summer wine.

2008 Branch Creek Shiraz

Very nice, smooth and easy to drink wine. Flavours of plum and red berries, but with a nice tint of darkness and spice in there. Very nice with a meal.

2006 Yallum Valley Estate

Very disappointed with this wine. I adore South Australian Shiraz and haven't tried one I didn't like before. I was given this as a birthday present so feel really bad I didn't like it. Overly fruity which just didn't match the dark pepper tastes trying to get through. Was almost like a wine version of a soft drink as just super sweet. I like hints of strawberry and zest in wine, but this was just too overpowering.
