Glancing Back – Dan Blaydock, Treasury Wine Estates
Dan presented this Penfolds tasting and it was another great evening.
Part of the tasting was a vertical tasting of some of the Penfolds Bin wines from our own cellar and wine from Penfolds. The committee felt that this was an excellent meeting and there was a great turnout. Murray reports are that Dan enjoyed presenting to the meeting. It was suggested we do a similar tasting in about 4 years.
Naturally a red evening however the Club did provide a Trinity Hill Chardonnay/Viognier 2008 as a quaffer to start.
The quaffer was followed by a Bin 9 Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, then 2000 and 2012 Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz, 2003 and 2012 Bin 138 Barossa GMS, and rounded off with 2002 and 2011 Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz.
Dan was very complimentary about the way we have cellared our wines (thanks to Derek of course) with the 2002 Bin 389 having kept exceptionally well, and still developing.
