Pity they don't make a Sparkling Yella Tail Shitraz; that would be an indescribable way to celebrate.
I have had a quiet wine week, the best of the lot was last night with a Leasingham 1996 Classic Clare Cabernet Sauvignon. Heaps of furry tannins, still very firm, doubt there is enough fruit for the long haul. Fruit still sweet so drink up over the next couple of years before it starts to fall over. Dissapointing as I was expecting more, but then it only cost $25 way back when. It was vastly improved by a lamb fillet with a spicy (not hot) sauce. Not the slightest interest in drinking more than a few sips after dinner and the balance of the bottle made good drain cleaner.
If you have any drink with food and it will be enyoable, without it, it's hard work.
Now what have you guys been drinking this week?
, bought at auction cheaply & last tried this about 2 years ago, at which time the bottle I opened was brown, tired & OTH, so after nearly abandoning my attempt to "secure some cheap Leroy" as a bad joke, I decided to crack my last bottle with Sunday night pasta. After almost waiting for the food to be placed on the table, before opening it (as I thought we may've possibly been looking at a 5 minute drinking window, before it collapsed!), we were pleasantly surprised. Some bright red fruits & forest floor type aromas which is one of the characteristics that makes me keep drinking & searching for good pinot noir. The palate was very supple & luscious for about 20 minutes & then began to become quite astringent, with a harsh texture, which became unpleasant, so I drank the rest very quickly trying to hang onto the memory of the earlier lovely wine.
