Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet/Shiraz 2012, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$99.95
What a powerful wine. Warm, full and complex with notes of cassis, vanilla, oak, chocolate and baking spices. This wine will only get better with age, but was remarkably approachable now.

Fontodi Chianti Classico 2011, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$39.95
This wine was excellent with a full, earthy flavour profile with a balsamic note. The aroma was full of dark stone fruits, particularly plums. The finish on this wine was nice and long, and I went back for more at the end of the tasting.
Tasted blind in March 2015 at a Beefsteak & Burgundy Club event.

Lamole Di Lamole Chianti Classico Riserva 2009, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$37.95
This wine had a very firm flavour profile that opened up nicely while tasting. Full of dark fruit flavours, it was quite pleasing overall

Mullineux Kloof Street Red 2016
Swartland, South Africa$17.25
Simply put, year after year, this is the best Bordeaux style blend that you can buy for this price. It outperforms wines from Bordeaux worth twice as much.

Teusner The Independent Shiraz/Mataro 2012, Barossa Valley, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$19.95
This wine is all about big fruit. It is dark and luscious with strong flavours of, well, grapes. There are also cassis, plum and a hint of chocolate on offer. What was missing was the spice and earthiness that I personally crave.
