Let’s Taste – Mount Langi Ghiran Langi Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 1998

I opened my last bottle of Mount Langi Ghiran Langi Cabernet Merlot 1998, and showed how best to open an older wine that may have a more fragile cork, in a very gentle way.

Let’s Taste – Delinquente 2015 Wines

The guys from Delinquente Wines got in touch with me through my website, asking if I’d be interested in tasting the new 2015 releases. With labels like these I was intrigued, so I had a taste and here are my impressions. Fruit is sourced from the Ricca Terra Farms vineyards in Riverland, and as many would know I love Italian grapes.
