1997 Tahbilk Old Block Cabernet, very good one of the best cabernets i have had, probably 2rd next to 1st Balnaves Tally, can't remeber the vintage..
Tannins fully intergrated lovely fruit. Tar, cedar, tobacco,, leather, red fruits, bargain at 26 bux.

So one will be opened on Boxing day this year. I know it is not ideal to be opening any of these wine...

An apology to Ron Laughton.
Recently i bagged the crap out of a 02 Jasper Hill Georgias Paddock.

Re: What are you drinking with what on Xmas day?
Chardonnay in this neck of the woods.
08 Savaterre
08 Cullen
07 LEAS
should be an enjoyable afternoon.
Boxing Day is Bourbon day BBQ and swimming, if it ever gets hot enough.

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
