Mullineux Kloof Street Red 2016

2021

June 2021....it was ok and had toned down no doubt over time. The flavour of this wine is so different and unusual. Was a novelty at first but quite honestly has worn off on me. Don't buy again.

Yering Station Village Pinot Noir 2015, Yarra Valley

July 2021....had with salmon melts. First sip seemed harsh, with a distinct flavour and bite, but with food and 15 minutes in the glass, quite enjoyable. Not sure I would buy again. Prefer NZ in this price range. Must have had the first one some time prior but don't remember it.

2018-2021 (2022 max)
CdR meant to be consumed young therefore 2019+2020

xmas 2018....7 were gifted including Mark McKey who really enjoyed it.

Sept/21....had with a hosion beef dish, went just ok. Wine was good, rich, full but flavour wasn't necessarily to my liking on this particular day....perhaps will be better with the right food pairing.

Sept 22....consumed at Smitty's cottage, I warned it might be 'old' but Eric & Dave enjoyed, as did I.

Sept/22....perhaps lucky but was still good, really enjoyed, at home. Was a great buy!

Castello Di Querceto Chianti Classico Riserva 2013

2020+2021 (max 23)

April, 2020.....really good, full bodied and delicous. Had with eggplant pasta. Could of kept drinking it but had to display some discipline. Should have bought more than two....well worth the $29. Save last one to share with someone. G&A would be good candidates.

(about 6)
drink from 2019 to 2023 + gift up to 3

2018...gift to Tim Lukenda

Sept 2019....gave to Smitty at cottage

Nov 2021.....strong bold wine, had with bbq steak which is what it needed, enjoyed but had that French flavour that I sometimes not a big fan of. All told, glad I opened it, enjoyed it, but didn't really need to drink again but I will next summer.

June 2023...same as above, till drinkable, finish last one this year (missing one??). Red meat a must!
