The Ball Buster Basket Pressed Old Vines Barossa Valley Red Blend 2021
Mostly Shiraz with some small cab and merlot blends to make for a lovely red wine that went well with lamb and Rosemary. Aroma is deep and complex. I get facing notes of chocolate, vanilla and tobacco from the barrel. I get fruity notes of cherry, plum and black currant. I get light herbal notes from the soil with touches of Rosemary and pine. I get spicy notes from the yeast like cardamom and clove. The palate is full bodied with a heavy sweetness quickly balanced by very strong tannins so that it never feels too sweet or oppressive. Definitely finished with a strong tannic astrigency that would be aggressive if it wasn't scrubbing the heavy fruity sweetness. — 4 days ago

Slavonija Bijelo vino Graevina 2022
Straw yellow, good clarity. Aroma is an herbal/piney like definitely Rosemary. Hints of minerality without getting the diesel notes of new zealand. Definitely some eucalyptus. Maybe a hint of rose. Definitely an intriguing aroma. Wine is fairly light bodied with a strong acidic finish and just a shade of tannins. Worked really well with creamy mushroom pasta. The acidity cuts the fatty and earthy notes of the dish but the tannins balance the earthy mushroom notes without smothering them. — 25 days ago

Barossa Shiraz 2021
Wonderfully complex dark red wine. Aroma is spicy, with notes of black pepper, clove, tobacco. Definitely some minerality, like slate, limestone and a touch of brimstone. Very woody but not the cocoa and vanilla more very subtle green woods. Full bodied with balanced sweetness and a strong tannic finish. Had would spag bol. Delicious on its own and with food. — 14 days ago
