4716 K1 by Geoff Hardy, Museum Release, 2001 9 10 Lovely, ripe and soft. A great wine for sipping in contemplation.<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon, Adelaide Hills<br />
4717 GMH Meritage, Limestone Coast/ 2006 7 8 Hard to tell this is a blend, as all of the varieties merge<br />
Langhorne Creek/Adelaide Hills, seamlessly together.<br />
Vineyard Series<br />
4718 GMH Shiraz, Limestone Coast/ 2007 7 7 Rich bouquet, dark fruit and black cherries. Full-bodied.<br />
Langhorne Creek, Vineyard Series<br />
4719 GMH Petit Verdot, Limestone Coast, 2007 8 8 Developing its potential. It is good already and will continue<br />
Vineyard Series to improve as it softens.<br />
4722 Milyaroo Chardonnay, 2008 8 9 Delicious. No benefit to be had from delaying its use.<br />
Southeast Australia<br />
4723 Milyaroo Semillon/Chardonnay, 2008 8 9 Less intensely tropical than 4722, but just as easy and<br />
Southeast Australia attractively flavoursome.<br />
4724 Milyaroo Cabernet Sauvignon, 2008 7 8 Surprisingly easy and forward for a 2008 wine.<br />
Southeast Australia<br />
4725 Milyaroo Merlot, Southeast Australia 2008 8 8 Easy. The tannins are ripe and supple. Open during this year.<br />
4726 Milyaroo Shiraz, Southeast Australia 2008 8 8 Ripe and full. Notes of prunes, dark plums and vanilla. Light<br />
cedar smoke aromas.<br />
4727 Richland Chardonnay, Southeast Australia 2008 9 9 Attractive notes of fruit acidity mingle comfortably with light<br />
white fruit flavours.<br />
4728 Richland Shiraz, Southeast Australia 2008 9 9 Supple. Dominated by fruit to the exclusion of tannin and<br />
mass. Quite short, but ready.<br />
4729 96 Points Shiraz/Viognier, Riverina 2007 7 8 Very successful blend, as elsewhere in Australia, the white<br />
Viognier only brings attractive elements to this otherwise<br />
spongey red. Open this year.<br />
4730 96 Points Durif, Riverina 2007 6 7 Very full-bodied. Quite tough, still very tannic and the fruit<br />
needs time to develop.<br />
4731 Westend Estate “Three Bridges” 2008 7 8 Very successfully blended ripe fruit making this very enjoyable<br />
Cabernet/Shiraz, King Valley now. Drink between <strong>2010</strong> and 2012.<br />
4732 Westend Estate “Three Bridges” 2006 8 8 Rather stalky. Needs time for the fruit to open up in a<br />
Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Riverina softer balanced context.<br />
4733 Westend Estate “Three Bridges” 2006 7 8 Lovely. The ripe fruit from the much irrigated Riverina<br />
Reserve Shiraz, Riverina vineyards has become more concentrated through reduction<br />
of water during the first of the dry years.<br />
Special Offering 45<br />
