Mataro 2015

A bright ruby red. Black and blue fruits, Five spice and a tarry note. My last of 6 - and possibly the best. See my Delectable note in April 2022 for the first of 6. I am always in admiration of Andrew Caillard MW and his multiple talents when I look at this label which he painted. A beautiful expression of old vine Barossa Mataro (Mourvèdre). — 4 months ago

@Jan de Weerd Interesting Jan. I think that Mourvèdre vineyard of the Hewitsons is one of the oldest plantings of Mourvèdre in the world if not THE oldest in the world.

Indeed! We met with Dean. Here is his story exposing the oldest Mourvèdre vineyard in the world: https://youtu.be/E6TB_Fdkqko?si=s9UIVFc3Uax72XA_

Thanks for sending that clip Jan. A fascinating story isn’t it. A special piece of vinous history and the wine is special.

Glenelly Estate

Lady May Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot 2017

Will Stanley
9.3

Dark and brooding, the flagship 2017 Lady May from Glenelly is effusive from the first pour, with aromas of black cherry, purple herbs, baking spice and chocolate. The palate is distinctly savoury, with a spicy quality that represents quite a contrast from prior vintages. This is an altogether quite serious offering and perhaps lacks the glossy suave character of, say, the 2015, which I prefer at this stage. But this should be absolutely fantastic in around 5-10 years’ time and I can’t wait to try it again. — 4 months ago

Quite good for a dry, balanced red. Paired excellently with The Heat (2013) starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. — 6 months ago

Our Lady of Guadalupe

OLG Pinot Noir

Mark Talbot
9.7

This Pinot Noir from Our Lady of Guadalupe Vineyard in Santa Ynez delivers a lively mix of dried violets, plum, and boysenberry, complemented by the jammy tang of underripe raspberries. Subtle hints of smoky tobacco and cured meat add a savory edge, while bright notes of raspberry, strawberry, and blueberry keep it fresh and vibrant. The finish is clean and slightly earthy, striking a balance between elegance and approachability. It’s a distinctive Pinot that speaks to the character of its vineyard with clarity and charm. — 2 months ago
