really liked....served at Cycle Therapy dinner at our house in 2014?

Sept 2018....had with eggplant pasta.....with half hour aeration, it was lovely going from a little gritty at first to deliciously smooth. (next night with chili, equally good).....will have to pay more attention to Chianti Rufina in future.

Pirramimma Katunga Gts 2007, Mclaren Vale, South Australia

2016+2017 (18 latest)

April 2016...still not enjoying this style of wine much anymore, too alcholic (14.5) and sweet (typical Aussie). First glass ok but got tired of it with 2cd. Ok to gift remaining bottle.

?? Think I may have had the second bottle in 2017/18 and pretty sure I enjoyed it more than the first, perhaps had mellowed further.

Quartz Reef Pinot Noir 2010, Central Otago

June 30 2017 with cedar planked salmon...distinct NZ taste, seemed a little hot but in balance, smooth, lots of flavour, quite enjoyed with a little air time but would probably pass on buying a second bottle (90)

Guenoc Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, Lake County

1st one was ok (2014)
2015+2016 (? google for more info)

2cd one better but don't remember much about it or when

3rd one was a gift....maybe Shelley C
