It's just so mineral, fresh, perfumed, long and austere, not to mention consistent across vintage. It's obviously a spectacular vineyard for riesling.<br /><br />I actually thought this event might be a 'bun fight', but because I stuck to my side of the tasting and the large size of the room, it didn't really turn out that way for me. Funny you mention Fortifieds as well, because when I first entered the room I scanned some real gems in a group of about 20, but by the time I worked my way round there every single fortified was gone - and yes - methinks it could've been the 'oldies' :)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Chris PChris Plummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038102858732379506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547979981063230374.post-41247193793683374362010-10-18T02:27:59.221-07:002010-10-18T02:27:59.221-07:00Andrew,

I was suffering from a few illnesses in the weeks leading up to the event (hence the lack of posts on this site) but was glad to have my senses back in time. Considering I barely touched a drop of wine in the 3 weeks leading up to this tasting, every time I came across a new varietal it was like meeting an old friend again; 'hello riesling, how you going?', 'cabernet, it's been so long!'. As I said, it was just what I needed - thanks AG!Chris Plummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038102858732379506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547979981063230374.post-27658358222429451792010-10-17T18:06:15.333-07:002010-10-17T18:06:15.333-07:00Hey Chris,

Good to see you liked the Drumborg - one of a few Henty Riesling that I am becoming a big fan of.<br />I echo your (and AG's) sentiments about the type of tasting format. You should come to the Royal Easter Show wine tastings - they are a massive rat race and bun fight! any Penfolds icon or Trophy winner is guzzled asap, and the fortifieds are devoured by the oldies by 11am.... :-)<br /><br />Luckily, for the more relaxed and focussed, there are plenty of gems still left untouched to be tasted, and they literally provide spit bins so that you can walk out unassisted :-). Can make for some funny and annoying sights :-)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />RBJChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07349650780859100896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547979981063230374.post-23396452253379503602010-10-16T03:24:30.916-07:002010-10-16T03:24:30.916-07:00He's a good bloke that Andrew Graham guy, but ...He's a good bloke that Andrew Graham guy, but it is his employer (Cracka Wines) who sorted out the tickets :).<br /><br />Seriously though, this sort of tasting format happens here in Sydney too.
