Some Young Punks The Squid’s Fist 2009
Friday, April 1st, 2011
Vintage: 2009
Type: Sangiovese Blend
Country: Australia
This Sangiovese-Shiraz blend from the Some Young Punks winery is quite enjoyable. The bottle is a work of pulp art, one of the winery’s trademarks.
The wine has smooth tannins with chocolate and cherries on the pallet. The finish has a nice hint of herbs, which is subtle but noticeable. Drink with a hearty fare.

Château Lers Loumede 2005
Friday, March 25th, 2011
Vintage: 2005
Type: Bordeaux Blend
Country: France – Bordeaux – Côtes de Blaye
There is a deep garnet colour in the wine and strong legs – for a Bordeaux but typical for the vintage. On the nose are strong berries with a bit of oak along with hints of almond.
The pallet is full of robust flavours of blackcurrant and strong tannins that still need some time to integrate into the wine. Quite nice and should age well for a few more years.
Penfolds Koonunga Hill Seventy Six 2008
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011
Vintage: 2008
Type: Cabernet-Shiraz Blend
Country: Australia
This wine has a great dark colour – inky in nature. On the nose, there are scents full of berries and a hint of plum. On the palette are flavours of fruit, vanilla and a hint of chocolate; very nice indeed. There is a long finish with well integrated tannins. This wine will cellar well and is exceptional value at this price point.

This is a lovely Beaujolais with an excellent flavour full of fruit. Nice acidity and easy to drink. Tonnes of fruit on the palette – almost bursting with flavour. Nice hints of minerality as well.
Tarlant Brut Rosé

This is a great tasting rosé. The champagne has lots of tight uniform bubbles coupled with a lovely pink colour. I has flavours of citrus with hints of red fruits. A very nice libation indeed.
Joseph Gruss & Fils Crémant d’Alsace Rosé 2009
Sunday, January 9th, 2011
Vintage: 2009
Type: Rosé Crémant
Country: Alsace – Eguisheim
Yummy, yum, yum. All French sparkling wine that comes from outside of the Champagne region is classified Cremant but the flavours and bubbles you’ll find in this bottle may deceive your senses to think otherwise. I am biased towards this vineyard and its products because I secretly admire Andre. Regardless of the bias, the Cremant stands out splendidly in its own right.
Clos René 1998
Monday, November 22nd, 2010
Vintage: 1998
Type: Bordeaux
Country: France – Bordeaux – Pomerol
Still has lovely tones of florals and earth. Colour still deep red with fading at the edge. Flavours of plum and berries with a long finish. Drinking well now and it had the tannins for keeping a bit longer.
