The Auswine Forum

I am sure they are good wines, but I don't think they aren't worth for what they are asking for.

Hello all best wishes of the season. I am heading off later this year to France via Hong Kong. I was hoping to seek some expertise and experience from the fine folks here who may have visited those parts. I am initially seeking recommendations for accommodation in Hong Kong? Who's stayed somewhere ...

Good morning, In about 12 days (but who's counting?) I disappear to South East Asia, where I'll be spending the following four months meandering through Singapore, Malaysia (both Peninsula and Malaysian Borneo), Laos, and Thailand. Since I'm not really in to the typical 20 something backpacker crow...

man, you guys list so many winemakers i never even heard of or see i just opened a Taylors Cab 06 won a couple of silver awards somewhere. On the nose, it quite pleasant, doesn't smell amazing. had a couple of sips, a bit flat, light flavour, no lingering aftertaste at all, bit of fruity wine taste...

Unfortunately it is not just in the US. I am an Aust. wine importer to Singapore and see a lot of importers are putting so much fat margins...it is just unbelievable! Esp. those got high Parker poniters. eg. torbreck steading selling price here is not far off on st. henri On top of this, big superma...

2005 Lazy Ballerina Shiraz Viognier Drank over 3 hours and it was getting better each time I fill up my glass. Viognier wasn't so obvious compare to 2001 Laughing MP I had.

I hope it is OK to post this one as I am involved with Rosenvale wines (not in domestic sales)

Try Rosenvale 2004 Reserve Cab Sauv. I believe it is a bit of cracker.
If you want to find more about the wine call James. PM me if you want his contact number.

Craig, am I eligible to list the wine I have in my collection even though I haven't tried all of them?

I am sure some of you guys would have tried all the wines mentioned, but for out of curiosity, those who hasn't tried all those nominated wines are purely on the basis of what they read and heard of?

Well I haven't watched the program so can't really comment on it but on the basis of what's been posted, I would like to add my views, and experiences as a wine wholesaler in the past in ACT and Sydney. I read numerous articles of how big players are hurting small independents and yes in a way I hav...

It is funny that I experienced very much same thing. I opened 97 Command Shiraz and initial sniff, thought wines was oxidised. But I decided to see whether it will get better after more than an hour of breathing. Sure enough it started to open up and got better about 30mins later.

Brucer I tend to agree, I tried an 02 RSW recently and it wasn't all that. Felt like it was a bit on the slide, unless it was in a hole of course...? I figured I might not wait too long either. Has anyone tried 97 RSW? I tried it about 2 years ago, wasn't oxidised nor corked, just nothing (read as ...

It is bit late for a report, but thought never too late 1998 LEAS Chardy ($40) - This wine has never failed to disappoint me think it is on its peak now and should consume now. 1997 Tintara Shiraz ($22)- Drinking well now and believe it should consume very soon as I don't think won't improve any fur...

Kilikanoon Oracle 2004 Just goes to show that you can be big and still enjoyable to the last drop. Still showing tons of fresh black fruit but does not have the cloying nature of the Eclipse. Very bloody nice wine. Bloody good wine indeed, just hangs around on the palate, seriously long finish. It'...

vinx name look very suss to me too!

cheers

1996 Wynns Michael Shiraz - drinking very well at the moment and would say it is on its peak now. very smooth(mellow) on the palate, good balance no harshness whatsoever. The only thing I would criticise is the length was bit short on back palate otherwise pleasant to drink. 2005 Valletta McLaren Va...

Definitely not a La Testa blend, wrong wines. Tony released this on his own (but where did the wine come from? Anyone know?) Cheers, Mark You are right Mark, it is not a La Testa Blend. As this wine has merlot in it too compare to the Blend. Tony made this wine to sell outside Oz, but who knows he ...

Graeme, A great dinner...the last time I tried a 707 was the 94 (in 2003), and I felt similar emotions to you on the 93...plenty of time left, but where is it going? Yet I've heard others say that the 90 and 91 are brilliant wines, I'm looking forward to tasting one that fulfils the expectations th...

I have tried there chardy and sauvignon a couple of times and they are pretty classy but i cant recall trying their pinot sorry!!! Sue probably has tried it, have you checked her website?? No I haven't tried it, but I absolutely love the Bouldevines Marlborough Chardonay 2006. Hi Sue, When I tried ...

This is my first post so please be kind to me Tasted this wine during last year wine for asia here in Singaore, was so impressed that had to purchase a bottle at the show and tasted again last sunday. I am not a pinot noir fan, doesn't mean that I am an expert in other varietals, but this wine conve...

welcome vinx just a quick pointer - better declare if you have any allegiances with the wine/companies you write about in each post. the forum appreciates people being upfront about this kind of stuff cheers sarah Thank you for your advice sarah. If any wines/wineries I mention is related with me, ...

Have been surfing this forum for sometime now to see what they say about wines they drink. Even though I am in a wine business, don't have much confidence of describing how wine tastes, but think I know what I like and don't like. Anyway, I will try my best to give my honest opinions that I get to d...
