Ashton Hills Estate Pinot Noir 2009

Posted on April 20, 2012 by Lincoln

This is a note that I started a couple of weeks ago. Rich red fruits and an undercurrent of mulch. A lot more vegetative on the palate, cherry liqueur, cassia bark, some acid with a bit of harshness. Tough work. … Continue reading →

Posted on February 10, 2012 by Lincoln

Well the summer holidays are over and it’s time to get off the wagon. I haven’t written a note for a while, so I think it might take me some time to get back into the swing of things. This … Continue reading →

Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin 2008

Posted on January 6, 2012 by Lincoln

Picked a bottle of this up this week. Initially a bit weedy, but with time it showed some lovely balance. A touch of animal hide, red cherries, light custard & nutmeg oak, iron filings. A light palate, cherries and a … Continue reading →

2004 Comte de Vogue Chambolle Musigny

Posted on December 23, 2011 by Andrew

Its an 04.  Friend or foe?  Well this is definitely friend…Colour a little cloudy and browning slightly.  Nose is kid leather and mint.  Palate is sweet and generous – nothing of the 04 green streak.  Leather, cedar, raspberry and rhubarb … Continue reading →

Stonier Pinot Noir 2010

Posted on December 18, 2011 by michel

Year in year out I eagerly anticipate this release – I recall at a 10 year vertical where the regular wines out performed the reserves and are half the price. The 09′s were tidy but the 2010′s have ramped up … Continue reading →

Kooyong Meres Pinot Noir 2006

Posted on September 30, 2011 by Lincoln

A quickie – I was only half paying attention to this one. Initially quite savoury and minerally on the nose, dully fruited but marginally interesting. On the palate, some red fruits and chunks of minerals, drying but satisfying. Left in … Continue reading →

Curly Flat “William’s Crossing” Pinot Noir 2008

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Lincoln

I cannot say I am terribly impressed with this one. Two bottles now, and both have shown dull fruits and stale spices on the nose. Strawberry and slightly unripe rhurbarb on the palate, thinly fruited and finishing with a touch … Continue reading →

Domaine Leroy Pommard Les Vignots 1995

Posted on September 18, 2011 by michel

A purchase inspired by a recent bottle from the 2001 vintage. Exotic spices on the nose, but no szechuan or cinnamon or Asian spices; more Vosne-Romanee in character, and more subtle than the 2001; less viscosity, less oak possibly. Over … Continue reading →
