Re: Durif
Durif used to be very ripe, monolithic, and slow (if ever) to develop. The worst examples are porty, raisiny, and can have green hard tannins. However, I like Morris - capable of 20 years easy improvement, and their occasional "CHM" (in years when it doesn't compromise the standard). These...

2012 Petaluma fortified Shiraz 19.5% Adelaide Hills, 375ml screwcap and another recent auction purchase. Petaluma appears on the back label in a tiny font; the only other concession a reference to the “B&V vineyard”.” Ridiculously youthful colour; purples and crimsons still. Supple, engaging. D...

now up-to-date 1976 Penfolds Vintage Port Bottle #5637 (Barossa Shiraz). I've never seen or tasted this wine before- the Penfolds “rewards of Patience” book only mentions the tawny styles.
