MAISON JEAN-LUC ET PAUL AEGERTER – Bourgogne Rouge 2005 37.5cl Bottle Nice but not the best
Young fresh Gamay-like nose. Classic Gamay palate of cherries and strawberries, but the Pinot in this blend adds a serious savouryness to it. Pleasant medium length.

JACOBS CREEK – Chardonnay 75cl Bottle – Just What the Doctor Ordered
A wet winter followed by a cool moist spring resulted in vigorous healthy vine canopies which remained stress free during a mild but dry Summer. Moderate, dry weather with cool nights resulted produced healthy grapes with excellent intensity of varietal flavours. The resulting wines show great richness and high quality from a vintage that was unusually moderate and ideally suited to Chardonnay in most of South East Australia. Bouquet. Intense white peach & melon fruit with a background of nutty oak and buttery complexity. Palate. Intense peach melon fruit flavours with complex nutty oak and creamy characters. The texture is soft and silky and balanced by a fresh acid finish.

TURKEY FLAT – Mourvedre 2007 75cl Bottle Reviews

TURKEY FLAT – Mourvedre 2007 75cl Bottle – Just What the Doctor Ordered
Encounters with unblended Australian Mourvedre are rare. The origins of Mourvedre are almost certainly Spanish where it is often called Monastrell. It is the principal black grape of the five appellations that cluster on Spain's Southeastern Mediterranean Coast. A very late variety in both bud break and ripening season, the Barossa Valley is one of the few areas in Australia that can successfully ripen Mourvedre. One of the original grapes grown in the Barossa Valley, Mourvedre thrives in the hot and dry conditions of a Barossa summer. Until the late 1960s, however, the main French plantings of Mourvedre were in Provence, where it is the dominant grape in Bandol. It is also used in the blends of Cotes du Rhone an Chateauneuf du Pape. The wine produced from Mourvedre's small, sweet, thick-skinned berries tend to be deeply coloured, rich in spice, high in alcohol and tannin, gamey when young and full of fruit.
