Criticism wanted on which wine to open

G'day again lads, I have Christmas at the olds sorted, just have to decide what to open on boxing day. I don't have an extensive cellar, i don't really have much at all, so my jewels are very young. So one will be opened on Boxing day this year. I know it is not ideal to be opening any of these wine...

Chardonnay in this neck of the woods.

07 LEAS

RP, big aussie shiraz and ageing

Hi guys, What are your thoughts on Parkers ratings of young aussie reds? Does he get it wrong with regards to the ageing ability of them? I've found i like his style of shiraz, but haven't had any aged that he has liked. Lets take for instance the Clarendon Hills Astralis Syrah, RP gave it 99 points...

1995 Astralis TN's?

Hey guys been a while,

Just became the owner of one of these, can't find any decent TN"S, plenty of RP but not of the 1995.

The wine seems very overated from what i have read today online.

Anyone here had the 1995? also is it true these wines need 20 to 50 years?

thanx
