About Me
- Bishop Brennan
- Craggy Island, EuSSR
- A Holy Man sent to help Craggy Island, particularly by sorting out that Gobshite Crilly (that's me, on the right, sorting him out, above).
Political
Recently Drunk (Health fascists - FOAD!)
- Le Mandolare Recioto di Soave, 2002 - 17/20 (A good recioto di soave, but I've had better ones. Lots of dried fruit, but needs a little more structure to balance the sweetness. Good for the price - this can be very expensive stuff...)
- Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 1998 - 17.5/20 (Wine with good reputation. A balance between Californian and French styles. Yum!)
- Linden Cabernet Franc, Virginia, US, 2001 - 18/20 (A very well balanced, structured wine that is closer in sensibility to France than its Californian cousins. If you get the chance, try it! Even if the winemaker sounds like a wine ponce! :-)
- Ridge Geyserville Zinfandel, California, 2000 - 18/20 (One of the few Ridge Zins that might have been better drunk younger (although it could be that this will open up again given a few more years) - the 1999s are still wonderful, but this is probably just beyond its best. Nonetheless, still full of Ridge's trademark deep, structured fruit and better than almost anything else out there...)
- Lindemans St George Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, 1998 - 20/20 (A beauty of a wine, lots of red berries, dark chocolate, etc., well-structured with a lovely lingering taste. Mrs Brennan's favourite! :-)
- Faustino I Rioja, Gran Reserva, 1996 - 17.5/20 (As the link suggests, supposed to be a top-class Rioja, but I'm not 100% convinced - I'd go for Muga instead. But - especially at a discount from the local supermarket - not at all bad, especially with a good steak)
- Louis Jadot Chablis, 2006 - 17.5/20 (Classic Chablis, good stuff)
- Mas Amiel Maury, 2004 - 19/20 (Yummy red dessert wine. Definitely worth seeking out!)
- De Bortoli Yarra Valley Estate Grown Chardonnay, 2004 - 19/20 (Bin-end from Tesco - get some if you can. Absolutely fabulous!)
- Chalk Hill McLaren Vale Sidetrack (Shiraz, Cabernet, Grenache), Australia, 2005 - 17.5/20 (Not as good as their Sangiovese, but delicious nonetheless!)
- Innocent Bystander Moscato, Victoria, Australia, 2008 - 18/20 (Extraordinary stuff. Great for a hot summer's day in the garden)
- Joseph Phelps Insignia, Napa Valley, 1993 - 20/20 (I've drunk Ridge Monte Bello, Penfolds Grange... THIS is the best wine I have ever tasted. Complex but still retaining its fruit, perfection in a glass. And even a Frenchman had to agree! :-)
