Gorgeous bin end at HH for first drink back in public. Great complexity for the price. Apple and brioche notes. — 4 years ago
Believe this is the 1st vintage released to the public. At age 15 finally decided to pop a bottle and see what's what.
+1 hour decant(some fine/cloudy sediment). A striking still inky dark magenta color. On the nose: subdued nose of dark fruit, graphite, clove, forest floor, smokey vanilla. Taste: silky, rich, nice depth mouthcoating wine with blackberry, gravel, baked fig, rich soil, and a dark chocolate tobacco finish with some slightly chewy tannins and a just a touch of heat at the end. YUM! — 3 months ago
Tuesday the 26th of January was Australia Day and a public holiday. What better way to celebrate than Australia’s best fizz Arras Grand Vintage from Tasmania. Quite light lemon in colour. Very citrussy and mineral on the nose. 7 years on Lees showing in the complexity of the palate which still shows tension and refreshment. See previous notes for the 2007 which was slightly better and Champion Wine of the Royal Brisbane Show. — 4 years ago
Celebrating 21yrs, and after taking a 1st sip my wife my wife asks “ what’s it taste like on your mouth”…I’m in public, so I’ll refrain for saying what I really want to 😘🤣. Now back to the wine - everything Napa. Jammy, fruit forward, silky smooth, big fruit notes, and no tannic bite, even on first opening. Love it….and my beautiful life partner, a.k.a. Gift from Him on high. — 3 years ago
Substituted for a different Red Burgundy for The Virtual Infatuation/Parcelle Wine School during COVID closures. It is a great wine even immed upon opening. Medium ruby color, typical Bourgogne bouquet, smooth in the mouth with a chalky/diet end and a touch of acidity. Fruits are red plum, some raspberries or strawberries and maybe blackberry as well. Very well balanced. Actually been to this very small wine maker with French friends as they do not have a tasting room for the public. — 4 years ago

Ruby colored and almost transparent. Aroma of fresh cherries. Flavor notes of fresh cherries, cherry pie, and a lingering cranberry sauce note. Amazing weekday or mid day sipper. Amazing with grilled chicken or smash burgers. — 3 months ago
