NV Buller Fine Muscat
(2007-02-09 17:04:26 UTC) buddy icon NV Buller Fine Muscat 90/100

A brilliant desert wine. Sticky, sweet and with a finish that goes on and on and on. Heavy raisin flavors with hints of chocolate, cinnamon and toffee. Not as good as their top shelf rare, but at the price this is brilliant.

Great mouth feel. Very fine mousse that gives this wine a great finish. Very soft. An ideal warm weather breakfast wine with Eggs Benedict. Also reviewed over on wine week

2004 Grey Label McLaren Vale Shiraz
(2007-02-09 09:22:00 UTC) buddy icon 2004 Grey Label McLaren Vale Shiraz 95/100

Once again a brilliant vintage. The Grey Label is the step down from the extremely high priced Platinum Label Shiraz, but is still an amazing drop. Rich with blackberries and current flavors, but the tannins are smooth and well integrated. The wine has a great mouth finish. Also reviewed on wineweek.com.au on a video podcast.

1999 Tyrells Vat 1

Definately one of the best Hunter Semillons. Cellar released now so it has been aged perfectly. Big toasty flavors plus the usual older refined citrus. A classic wine that deserves to be tasted by anyone with access.

Also reviewed in video form over on Wine Week

2004 Penley Estate Phoenix Cabernet Sauvignon
(2007-02-01 13:42:26 UTC) buddy icon 2004 Penley Estate Phoenix Cabernet Sauvignon 90/100

Really good, especially at this price. 2004 is shaping up as one of the very best Coonawarra vintages in recent times and this wine is no exception. Lovely dark berries and well integrated oak. Soft finish that makes is very drinkable right now or over the next maybe 5 years.

Reviewed on wine week as well.
