Jean Paul Brun Terres Dorées Côte De Brouilly 2010

Nice earthy wine that opened up after decanting a bit. However, it was quite challenging to reconcile the demands of chilling Beaujolais to 13 degrees and decanting enough without losing this optimal temperature. Very happy with the result though... Tasted July 2013.

Peter Lehmann The Barossan Shiraz 2017, Barossa Valley, South Australia

Tawse Sketches Of Niagara Riesling 2010, VQA Niagara Peninsula

Off-dry type of Riesling. Decent wine for the price, but nothing extraordinary. Tasted April 2012.

Joseph Cattin Hatschbourg Pinot Gris 2009, Ac Alsace Grand Cru

Delicious, rich (like honey in your mouth without being too sweet), full body. So smooth. A very safe bet for a party as a wine of this quality will please most people. Tasted May 2012.

Taylor Fladgate Late Bottled Vintage Port 2007, Porto

Very commercial taste compared to vintage Ports. Tasted May 2014.

Pierre Sparr Gewurztraminer 2012, Alsace

Was amazing. Serve well chilled. Tasted December 2014.

Grant Burge Miamba Shiraz 2010, Barossa

Decent Shiraz but may benefit from another 2 -3 years in the cellar. Tasted January 2013.

Terre Del Barolo 2010

Nice wine but I had better Barolo at this price point. Needed a good 3 hours of decanting before being truly appreciated. Tasted January 2016.

Shottesbrooke Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, Mclaren Vale, South Australia

Nice Cabernet-Sauvignon, but I would agree with another reviewer that it is still a bit young. However, it really benefited from a good hour of decanting. Felt medium-body upon opening and edged to full bodied after an hour of decanting. Tasted October 2012.
