(4)* 2019(decant)+2020+2021+gift?(A&G)
February 29, 2020....hostess gift to A&G, they held a dinner for the golf foursome.
July 2020...forget what the meal was but really liked the wine, a nice blend of wines I enjoy. Was quite refined for Chile.
Sept 2021.....really terrific wine, still tasting great. Think I opened it to have with osso bucco. Drink last one in mid-2022. Keeper!
Spring 2022...pretty sure I had last one around this time....no more left???

Grant Burge Corryton Park Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Barossa
South Australia, Australia$32.95
2018-22
Feb/18....1st of 2....rich & flavourful but a touch hot on the finish. Appears fully evolved, decent amount of sediment. Had with a homemade hamburger, nice but this wine needs a steak. Try last one 2019/20.
June 2020.....appears to have completely mellowed out, quite enjoyed, didn't sense the 'burn' from 2 years previous.

try one now, if good, buy more
...anytime over next 3 years
July 2025…..had at Norah’s after a beach & bbq evening. John & Matt joined in late and opened this as a last wine of the night (never a good idea to open decent wine after having had so much already). Could tell it was a good wine, last one should be showcased with a meal in 2026.

2019+2021+2023 (Last one 2023-2025, maybe with Bryce&Brenda).....per MG drink 2021-2028
A naturally spicy, ripe finish confirms its excellence; drink 2018–2026. (WE)
Oct 2020...nice wine for sure, didn't wow me the way I hoped it might.....give it another 2 years (late 2022). Had with leftover roasted chicken.
March 2021....guess I should have read my previous note before deciding on drinking....in any case I am enjoying this bottle, had with Mediterranean Chicken, yummy. Last one minimum 2023!
January 2024...had with Norah, paired with jerk chicken. Enjoyed it once again.
