Jacob's Creek Chardonnay Vintage 2011

I bought this because I drank the non-vintage Chardonnay 2012 from Jacob's Creek at a friend's wedding, and it was lovely. I thought I could take my chance at the 2011 Vintage one because it came in a small bottle, but how wrong I was.

This Chardonnay Vintage 2011 is very sour and slightly spicy down at the throat. I can't drink it alone. It didn't make a good pairing with sushi either. It is another one of Jacob's Creek fails.

65/100.

Wildcard Peter Lehmann 2009 Reserve Shiraz

Full-bodied, no alcohol taste, so easy to swallow, great to drink even alone. Beautiful ruby colour, and tears very well on the glass. Goes well with plain to more flavourful food. Am looking buy again, as I totally regret not finishing it fast enough, and the leftover that appears in the photos has all became vinegar.

However, for some, this may be but a plain wine, with no surprises.

89/100
