This has been the best bottle so far from the lot I purchased.<br />The Kaesler Touriga was beautiful too, not cloying or overpowering, it was savoury and spicy.<br />I knew I had forgotten one bottle from the list. An 02 Rockford Basket Press was also imbibed. There were 8 of us partaking keeping the whole session nice and manageable.kr1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15494100631803693415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8538446535011951676.post-11315514562454202272015-01-03T14:20:01.999+11:002015-01-03T14:20:01.999+11:00This is quite a line-up, kr1.

I had his 2006 Grenache on Christmas Day.<br /><br />Tonym - You had interesting wines. I know both of them and have enjoyed them in the past.<br /><br />On Christmas Eve, I had a 2008 William Downie Gippsland Pinot Noir and a sensational 2001 JL Wolf Jesuitengarten Spaetlese on Christmas Day. I will write these up in the near future.<br /><br />Thank you for your comments. I had hoped for a few more, you lazy people!Alontinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03303383808768521404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8538446535011951676.post-12755191008012533802014-12-26T11:28:43.330+11:002014-12-26T11:28:43.330+11:00We had a couple of Penfolds 2010 bin 150 for our r...We had a couple of Penfolds 2010 bin 150 for our red and a couple of bottles of Wines by KT Melva Riesling.

Enjoyed both of them. The Aromatico (Gewuerztraminer/Riesling blend) was particularly good with the Crevettes. By the way, I got your Barossa Shiraz book for Christmas and I am looking forward to reading it. Merry Christmas, JoachimJoachimnoreply@blogger.com
