Glen Moray. Single Malt. Scotch Whiskey.
Glen Moray Classic Single Malt
A Speyside Scotch whiskey I was told not to drink.
REVIEW. Thoroughly enjoyable, butter scotch, sea salt, honey. Fairly crackles with life, even though not old. Young & lively.
Chrismont La Zona Sangiovese 2005.King Valley Vic.
This may be the wine talking … but possibly the best Sangiovese I’ve had lately. A taste of summer, butter, a roll in the hay,… Yum.
Tintara 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
Long-standing classic Tintara from McLaren Vale is a treat, well-structured, enjoyable young or old.
Morris 2002 Rutherglen Cabernet Sauvignon
A neat bargain-price drop of wine, with a few imperfections, enjoyable nonetheless.
Koonunga Hill Shiraz 2006 from Penfolds
Ok this is a young one, and I should be kind, but this familiar red wine did little to surprise me…
Salena Estate Shiraz 2004
Great fruity wine, with no oak, but quite complex.
Jimmy Watson Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Evans & Tate 2004 Margaret River Shiraz
Another great fruit-driven wine, with high alcohol, yet complexity to bookend the Footbolt shiraz.
D’Arenberg FootBolt Shiraz 2001
The Sommelier at my local club made this pleasing selection from the D’Arenberg range.
Hollick Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot, Coonawarra
Quality wine with balance of fruit, subtle oak, and delectable with lamb…
