45th Parallel Border Bourbon this evening.

[SirVantes]

A bottle from one of my trips to Nelson, on NZ’s South Island. Back when you could still bung half a dozen bottles in your hand carry. The winemaker was a memorable “character”, with a PhD in Mathematics, and a believer in tannin in all his reds, including Pinot. I remember the licence plate on his ute parked beside his garage/cellar was TANN1N. He sadly passed on in 2018. 
 

This had great fruit concentration on the nose, and indeed more powdery tannins than I’d associate with Pinot. But it works. Vale, Dave Glover.

The Cannubi has come to be my favourite of their single vineyard wines.  I'd take it over their flagship Bric del Fiasc, and the flashy/brassy Rocche dell'Annunziata.  The Cannubi seems to take the barrique treatment particularly well, without the fruit perfume being compromised and the 2004 is in a great state right now.

I got the 22 year Speyside at Costco.  Holy smokes!  Excellent.  A little pricier ($80) but soooo goood.  Shared it with buddies and was sent back to buy another 7 bottles.

Well, at least '16 is the latest "dream vintage" so even the langhe should be pleasing.  You can't expect sympathy after that Henschke extravaganza you just had.

to be honest, i have quite a few more 16s on the way to compare. but i can't get to them till i get some of the champers and gins out the way. a range of monkey 47s arrived and then yesterday, the 2012 Cristal. looking forward to that.

Good Burgundy today. 2009 and still racy 

[Bill Hayes]

A local Mornington Peninsula pinot. Light, lively and floral/fruit driven without heavy tannins. It was a surprisingly good match with a JL#2. I enjoyed two glasses before the cigar and then one during and two more after.

Yep, they are one of my favs too. This was 2018 but very quaffable and delicate. It was very affordable too. Found it on special at my bottle shop.
