Chain Of Ponds Section 400 Pinot Noir 2010, Adelaide Hills, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$16.55
Very green tasting upon opening but greatly benefited from an hour of decanting. However, it did not measure up to Lenswood Hills Pinot Noir 2010 from Adelaide Hills as well, which was way better. Tasted March 2013.

Jean Paul Brun Terres Dorées Côte De Brouilly 2010
Beaujolais, France$18.95
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.

Saltram Mamre Brook Shiraz 2010, Barossa
South Australia, Australia$23.25
Unusual savoury Shiraz that took me off guard at first, but that I started to appreciate after 30 - 45 minutes of decanting. However, this was not worth $27 in my opinion. Can certainly age another year or two, as it still felt too young to truly appreciate. Also it felt too hot with probably a high degree of alcohol. Tasted May 2014.

Jean Geiler Gold Medal Muscat D'alsace 2011, Ac Alsace
Alsace, France$16.95
Very floral for sure but not as sweet as I expected for a Muscat, which is great for pairing with a greater variety of food. Was a bit disappointed about how flat it tasted and its limited complexity. Tasted July 2013.

Domaine Du Petit Métris Les Fougeraies Savennières 2009
Loire, France$23.95
It was a fascinating experience to try the Chenin-Blanc grape or the first time.I was expecting a very dry wine but it was so much richer (think honey and dry combined). Tasted May 2014.
