I went large on the bourbon barrels JC. That's going to be a big earner in the investment market
I'm sure there's something interesting I can dig up.

Me + 1
Matt +1
Ross
Redstuff +2
PDG
Lucky I booked for 8 people. Redstuff, I will do final numbers on Monday and speak to the restaurant but I wouldn't have thought an additional person is going to be too much trouble.

Ooh, errr....my head.
Top night. Good to meet some new folks. Some interesting wines. In the cold sober light of day here's my reflections:
Donnhoff Tonschiefer Riesling Dry Slate 2008 - Good wine but needed other whites for comparison. Nice RS but not over the top.
Clonakilla 2011 Ceoltoiri - the pepper in this wine became more pronounced as the night wore on. Licorice, a touch of jubey goodness and stacks of white pepper (maybe too much?) . This is a wine to watch.
Campbells The Barkly Rutherglen Durif 1998 - Love a good durif expecially when the alcohol doesn't show. Top shelf durif.
Carpinetto Sillano Toscana 2004 - can't recall much about this wine.
Cavaliere Rosso Toscano 2004 - Interesting. raisined and kind of reminded me of an Amarone style wine (Joseph Moda) from our last outing at Beijing House.
Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2003 - V. Nice. Can't see much more upside to it though.
Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 1999 - drying tannins and a good contrast to the 2003. Drink up.
The Flower and the Bee La Flor y la Abeja Treixadura (Spain) - 2010 or 11 from memory. Low acid made from the Souson grape. Streak of honey or honeycomb through it , capsicum, bell peppers? Not my style (I brought it and wanted a second opinion). Wondered if it was stewed?
Chateau Fonreaud, Listrac-Medoc Cru Bourgeois 1996 - lead pencil (not Staedtler HB but lead pencil nonetheless). Reasonable for a Cru Bourgeois.
Penfolds Bin 138 Old Vine GSM 2002 - good wine. Coconut on the nose? American Oak?
Pertaringa The Full Fronti NV Muscat a Petit Grains - Loved this.
Dutschke Oscar Semmler Shiraz 2003 - probably needed more time with bottle open. Very reticent. Not much action on the nose. My palate might have been stuffed at this point - I wasn't getting much from it. Would have liked to see this the next day.
Wild Duck Creek Estate Springflat Shiraz 2003 - Nail polish remover/varnish - stuffed
Trying to get past it I thought that there might have been nuances of christmas cake, chocolate and rum balls. This wine could have been huge...
Hope you all made it home safely?
Cheers
Matt
