Chateau La Pointe 1994 (Pomerol, Bordeaux)
Mushy fruits, merlot dominant, some green fruits and plenty of acid running through the palate. Probably won't get a lot better.
Yarra Yarra Syrah 2005 (Yarra Valley) - Recommended
Bloody hell! Look out Northern Rhone. Incredibly perfumed nose of spice and fruit cake. Palate is surprisingly sweet with more light touch fruit cake, medium weight tannin. Some citrus (works well). Fantastic.
Mills Reef 'Elspeth' Syrah 2000 (Hawkes Bay, New Zealand)
Slightly mushy and wet hessian fruits. Good depth of plum fruits. Fruits are mildly stinky and sweaty to taste; some astringency and acid. Still quite in tact but lacks a little friendliness. But, hard to complain here.
Trimbach Gewurztraminer 1983 (Alsace, France) - Recommended
Mega plush and smooth but certainly not sweet at all. Elegantly mature. Well balanced with musky fruits. Just plain impressive for its age.
