The Wynns stuff ages so well if kept properly. I have had a few bottles of the 1991 Centenary Shiraz Cabernet and it still had years left.

It was very nice. My wife and I loved it. There was a balanced amount of dark fruit, cherry in particular. Extremely enjoyable.

Another lower alcohol (13%) wine last night. A New Zealand Merlot by 'Giesen'.
Negligible bouquet even an hour after opening (they say "generous aromas of dark berry fruit...") with a well balanced soft plum and blackcurrent palate. A competent quaffer.

Picked up a few of them a couple months ago. Enjoyed it

Margaux is probably my most favorite Bordeaux -- so well balanced from start to finish.

Hope you gents have a great weekend!!!

I agree Margaux is the most approachable especially on the young side but cost vs. quality, it's the mack-daddy... JMHO

Yeah, they are very unpretentious and make some nice blends. My wife loves candles. I'll have to see if they sell them online.

Hahahahhaha!!!!!

Of COURSE I don't hate her!!! When she's gone I just tend to get into the 'I wanna taste mood' lol --- haven't had one of these since release -- and Parker goes on and on about the boldness, complexity and flavors...so time to see!!! Had an '05 in my hand too and went with this one!!!

(But I'll make it up to her...I'm sure!! Lol🤣)
---and I'd never drink the last bottle of anything without her



Cheers my friend!!
