Dashe Cellars
Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2009
Spicy, dry, balanced, like a mouthful of seeds from straw, black, and ras berries - #notjammy. How #zinfandel can and I feel should always strive to be. Had this vintage 2 years ago with Mrs Dashe herself. It's become much more rustic and spicy with the extra age, and def a lot better than I remember it being. #maturewine #drycreekvalley — 10 years ago
La Pousse d'Or
"Clos des 60 Ouvrées" Les Caillerets Monopole Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1983
i do not have much experience with aged Burg, but i find this appealing. smells of mushroom and dried strawberry and those notes show subtly on the delicate palate too, joined by strawberry seed tannin. #burgundy #volnay #maturewine — 9 years ago
De Bortoli
Reserve Release Yarra Valley Chardonnay
Absolutely excellent chardonnay; totally opposite to the fruity brigade that dominates reviewers' minds; this is restraint, mealy, wheaten nose; great maturity though lime green at 7 yrs; 12% alc, hand sorted, mature vines meaning 35+ I guess; taut and true to light- medium category of this variety; has dignity not brashness; long ager too; paired with seafood bouillabaisse; #drinkoz #victorianwine #yarravalley #dixonscreek #debortoli #chardonnay #reserverelease #2008 #12% #maturewine #maturingchardonnay #maturevines — 9 years ago

Tea tree oil, licorice, soy sauce, leather, craisins, and a dozen more. Tasting history here. Clearly this kinda wine needs maturity. #maturewine #mowine #norton — 8 years ago
