A great afternoon in the office.
1995 Guigal Château d'Ampuis - what a beautiful wine! Lots of violet and floral notes from the Viognier, with some mint and smoke on top of a bit of bacon fat. The winner in the Syrah/Shiraz pairing.
1996 Clarendon Hills Astralis - very sweet and fruity, with vanilla, marshmallow and smoke in the nose. Still pretty full-bodied although edges are turning amber.
2003 Kongsgaard Chardonnay - beautiful... lots of honey, butter, caramel, straw and grass notes along with the oak, and some lemon citrus. Pretty ripe on the palate, a long finish that is a little tart.
