    Parker's Heritage Collection 14 Year Old Cognac Barrel Finished Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey (750ml) - Eighteenth Release
    Kentucky, UNITED STATES
    $649. 00
    Bottle
    $7788.00 Dozen
    ABV: 53.5%

    Collector's note: there is a minor scuff to the lower front label.

    Parker's 18th edition is another in collaboration with Master Blender, Alain Royer, who Heaven Hill has partnered with on two previous releases. Filled in March 2009 the 14-year-old, 65% malted barley and 35% corn whiskey yielded 128 barrels. It was then finished in 56 larger, reconstructed heavy toast Cognac barrels for almost four months. The original whiskey barrels were from the fourth floor of Rickhouse O and the sixth floor of Rickhouse Q. Once re-barreled, the Cognac barrels were aged in Rickhouse H1 on the fifth floor. Described as rich and velvety with flavours of molasses and bittersweet chocolate followed by cloves and nutmeg, the liquid was non-chill filtered in order to preserve the natural flavours of the aging process. 53.5% Alc./Vol.

    With previous releases having won multiple awards from Whisky Advocate, Whisky Magazine, the Ultimate Spirits Challenge and the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the Heritage Collection series stand as some of the most critically lauded American Whiskeys in recent memory. Past bottlings have won awards ranging from “Best Special Barrel Finished Bourbon” and “Best North American Whiskey” to “American Whiskey of the Year” and “Best of Show, Brown Spirits.” Extremely limited stocks.

    Other reviews... So still pre-reopening juice (so Invergordon-Jim Beam Brands). Utterly love the blurb on the 'label' (well, the stencil), no stoopid AI could have ever written that true piece of post-modern literature. Colour: amber. Nose: it's on quince jelly, juicy sultanas, pinecones, a little talc, fond de taint, pollens, pink pepper and oregano, caraway, something syrah-y, pizza oil (I know that's not very romantic), tomato sauce, sage… An unusual construction that rather loses you, but it's full of (unlikely) charms. Mouth: I find this arrival weirdly spicy and woody. A lot of wood spices (oak, pine, fir), heavy spices, cumin and clove, lees, stalk… I know it's me but this is not my kind of concoction, not on the palate, even if brighter notes of oranges would then try to balance it all. Weird drink. Finish: long, bitter, sour and leafy. Almost some artisanal Italian bitter. Comments: I've always had troubles with the Black Arts. In the first place, I've never quite understood the idea behind them, but knowing that it's a highly successful line, I'll simply tip my hat to them and bow modestly before this modern art of doing bizarre mixtures. 84 points - whiskyfun.com

    Rich, concentrated and solidly built with lush black fruits.

Rich, concentrated and solidly built, lush blackcurrant and liquorice fruits swamp the full bodied palate. Cigar box, earthy black olive and spicy bay leaf elements sit underneath.

    Rooster Rojo 100% Agave Blanco Tequila (700ml)
    Jalisco, MEXICO
    $64. 99
    Bottle
    $779.88 Dozen
    ABV: 38%

    The red rooster is a very special bird in Mexico - a sign of the sun, and a key part of the national identity. The brand of tequila that bears its name selects piñas aged 6-7 years. Only fruit with a residual sugar content of 24-27% is chosen. These piñas are then halved to preserve their sweetness and twice distilled in stainless steel pot stills. This ensures that the exceptional agave flavours and aromas are preserved. Their Blanco is said to taste softer and smoother than other examples because of a unique filtration process during which pure water is filtered through Mexican silver. The flavour is initially sweet with a subtle yet distinct peppery spice. 38% Alc./Vol.

    Old Fitzgerald 8 Year Old Bottled in Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) - Fall 2023
    Kentucky, UNITED STATES
    $649. 00
    Bottle
    $7788.00 Dozen
    ABV: 50%

    Other reviews... A boreal forest on the nose: Pine sap, maple wood, and crushed dried leaves stand out on the nose, buoyed by chilly spearmint, vanilla ice cream, and warming toffee. On the palate, the herbal character fades considerably and sweeter flavors of vanilla, marzipan cookies dusted with powdered sugar, and chocolate-covered cherries. The finish ties the experience together with vanilla, maple, and cherry scone. 93 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    ...One of the younger bourbons in the Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond decanter series so far, the Fall 2023 Edition doesn’t disappoint with a bright and lively balanced flavor profile. According to Heaven Hill, “each spring and fall, a new edition to the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond series is released. Inspired by an original 1950's Old Fitzgerald diamond decanter, the packaging and series honor both the history of the Old Fitzgerald brand and the historic Bottled-in-Bond designation. The Old Fitzgerald line is well-known for its distilling pedigree, as the brand was first registered in 1884 and was eventually sold to "Pappy" Van Winkle during Prohibition. In 1999, Heaven Hill bought the brand and began distilling it at Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY.” For this bottled in bond decanter series, the age varies by release, and so far has ranged from 8 to 19 years old. Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond Bourbon Fall 2023 Edition is the twelfth national release and consists of barrels distilled in the fall of 2015, making it one of the younger releases at 8 years. But you should not let that deter you as this release is still a formidable wheated bourbon. It opens with an inviting aroma that consists of cinnamon, vanilla notes, baking spices, and milk chocolate. Most likely due in part to its younger age, it’s bright and lively on the palate with citrus, summer fruit, a warm spice mix, and a touch of musty oak providing some nice balance. It finishes with a slight kick of heat up front, followed by some musty oak funk and sweeter notes of caramel and toffee. This vintage of Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond drinks like a quintessential Kentucky bourbon through and through. It never quite gives away the fact that it contains wheat in its mashbill, instead leaning more towards a traditional flavor profile as opposed to showcasing the sweeter, bakery-inspired flavors that wheated bourbons can tend to do. While it isn’t one of the brand’s more notable releases, it is a solid showing nonetheless. - breakingbourbon.com

    Amply concentrated and creamy textured.

    Bright straw colour with highlights of green around the edges and a watery hue. Nectarine and lemon butter top notes are followed by biscuity oak, subtle bees wax and gun flint scents. On the palate nectarine, pear, grapefruit and bees wax flavours are delivered with plenty of concentration and carry a creamy textural feel. Notions of biscuity oak, nougat and gun flint sit underneath. Fresh acidity with a medium to long finish that’s nicely fleshed.

    Only dags and dads wear corduroy surely, but this wine is super classy. Fine, long and pure with gossamer-like acidity threaded through the lemon, lime and white nectarine flavours. It comes lightly spiced and lightly textured with some delicate leesy accents. Savoury, too, and mouth-watering with the right amount of tension to delight and even more pleasure to come in time. Drink by 2032.

    Grand Marnier Triple Sec Liqueur (500ml)
    Cognac, FRANCE
    $65. 99
    Bottle
    $791.88 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

    Made with oranges and Cognac, Grand Marnier is a liqueur immortal and one of the world's best known curacaos. Aged in the cellars of Chateau de Bourg in Cognac and blended with fruit from the French West Indies, the company's entry level bottling has become a bar standard, combining the tantalizing fragrance of Seville oranges with the warm, intoxicating rush of extra-aged cognac in a 49/51 blend. Offering superb purity and definition with notes of mixed peel, orange cake and vanilla and a concentrate of citrus peel and mandarin flavours, what's also admirable about this timeless liqueur is its expert balance; the lively spirit backbone and the finish that winds up fresh, mildly tart and vibrant with lingering honeyed-citrus flavours.

    If you want an even more indulgent experience, three super premium releases set the bar higher, introducing increasing proportions of (primarily) Grande Champagne Cognacs, sometimes boasting incredible age, adding further depth and complexity to an already remarkable liqueur. Whichever you choose, these expressions are best appreciated neat, on the rocks or in a snifter glass at room temperature. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... The aroma is a sweet/sour, tangerine/Mandarin orange perfume that never stops enchanting. At the palate entry the orange zest’s acidity mingles gracefully with the Cognac’s alcohol, making for delicious drinking. Satiny finish. 90-95 - wineenthusiast.com

    Seasoned Casanovas also recommend Grand Marnier for a “Royal Romance”:

    In shaker; one-fourth each of Passionfruit juice and Grand Marnier, half gin, shake well and serve.
    Or try the popular B52:

    1/3 Grand Marnier
    1/3 Coffee liqueur
    1/3 Irish cream liqueur
    Pour delicately on a bar spoon the coffee liqueur, the Irish Cream then the GRAND MARNIER liqueur into a shooter glass. Serve without mixing.

    The Charleston
    1 shot of Cherry Brandy Liqueur (e.g. Cherry Heering)
    1 shot of Grand Marnier
    top up with lemonade and ice
    Method: Pour the cherry brandy and the orange liqueur into a highball. Stir well, then fill a highball glass with ice cubes and pour the cocktail directly over them . There is no need to use a strainer in this instance. Top up with the chilled lemonade to taste, then serve.

    Rich, voluptuous and weighty with a velvety yet robust tannin structure.

    Impenetrable inky black colour with a very deep dark red black hue. Intense liquorice and ripe black cherry scents engulf the nostrils followed by some vanillin oak, whiffs of mocha and peppered earth notes. Rich voluptuous liquorice and ripe black cherry fruits saturate the weighty palate. Vanillin oak, fennel, mocha and peppered earth elements sit in the background.

    The estate’s flagship Shiraz, from their own vineyards in McLaren Vale, this is impressive drinking. Deep magenta in colour, the wine reveals good intensity right from the kick-off. The aromas weave through notes of cloves, vegemite, dark chocolate, cold tea, dried herbs, mulberries and hints of a dusty road. A wine of real intensity, but one which is well balanced and with drive. The oak integration has been competently handled and there is a lingering finish. Enjoy this over the next ten to twelve years. Drink 2025-2037.

    The Macallan Colour Collection 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $599. 00
    Bottle
    $7188.00 Dozen
    ABV: 43%

    Launched in 2023, this is Macallan's celebration of the art of maturation, where the whisky's rich amber hue hints at the intricate dance between the spirit and the oak. Intended solely as a travel retail exclusive. 43% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Ex-seasoned sherry oak, not sure if it was full-maturation or some 'enhancement', not sure that even matters (good mood mode activated here). Colour: dark gold. Nose: once again, it is rather 'old-school Macallan' while we're no longer too worried that the palate might be too light and too unbalanced by the wood since this baby has been bottled at 43% ABV. The difference is enormous between 40 and 43, we all know that. We find the usual dried and fresh figs, the apricots, some dried pears (slices), some high-end apple compote, various raisins, plum pudding, treacle toffee, kumquats and bergamots, some Demerara sugar, caramel and fudge… Nutshell: all is well. Mouth: there's much more happening in this one, the oak doesn't quite get in the way and the fruits in all their forms have plenty of room to express themselves. Kumquats, raisins, tangerines, figs, jujubes, apples, then honey, maple syrup and chocolate,  the latter becoming then a little bitter and drying, which comes from the oak I would suppose. No big deal, it's an excellent one. Also a little meatiness ala M**** (another 'M', a.k.a. the beast of Dufftown). Finish: still a little short and dry, but these peppered Seville oranges and these cloves do really work. Hints of honeysuckle. Comments: around 500-600€, apparently. No comments, except that to be honest, we would have preferred it to be a bit stronger, but it's still very good. 87 points - whiskyfun.com

    ...The nose opens with noble lacquered wood, lots of milk chocolate, carefully complemented by red berries and sour fruits. The signature sulfur content of The Macallan alcohols is felt. A little later, crusts of gray bread appear and the fruit palette is somewhat transformed: pineapples, dried bananas, peaches and orange peels become audible. The taste is similar to the nose in terms of wood, chocolate and sulfur, but there are more sherry tones here in the form of almonds, dried fruits, raisins, red grapes. Also present are floral honey and blood oranges. The finish is long, woody and chocolatey, with nuts and dried fruits. - whiskybase.com

    Brilliant very pale straw colour with green tinged edges and a watery hue. Peach, tropical fruit and melon aromas are trailed by some spice end notes. Fleshy peach, tropical fruit and ripe melon flavours carry a nicely rounded feel across the mid weighted palate with some citrus and spice nuances in the background.

    Matured in French and American oak barrels. Dark red core with black shaded edges and a red to dark red hue. Pronounced black plum and strawberry jam aromas are followed by some liquorice, vanillin spice and cinnamon notes. Plump and juicy, the mid weighted palate is flush with ripe plum and strawberry jam flavours. Also chiming in are liquorice, vanilla and spicy cinnamon elements.

    Other Reviews…..
    Inkwell make zinfandel and primitivo. Same, same, essentially. But the different blocks perform differently, so the nomenclature reflects that. This is genuinely reminiscent of Puglian primitivo, resplendent with dried fruits, currants, fig and date, blackberry, and hit heavily with spices, in an amaro and panforte register, anise to the fore, and underwritten by a dry, tarry earthiness. It’s opulent, in its way, but intensely savoury, too. Much more Puglia than California. And, of course, intrinsically McLaren Vale. Compelling. Drink by 2029.

    Closure: Cork

    A bold and juicy Cotes du Rhone that has a chewy mouth feel.

    With an average annual production of around 4 million bottles, this wine is a model of consistency year in year out and one of Cotes du Rhone’s best buys. The 2022 vintage is a blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre sourced from vines with an average age of 35 years. Maturation takes place in oak casks for a period of 18 months.
    Dense black dark red colour with a deep dark red hue. Black raspberry and liquorice scents waft through the nostrils followed by some ripe black cherry, dried herb, earthy incense and pepper notes. Rich, concentrated and lush, the weighty palate is swamped with juicy black raspberry, black cherry and liquorice fruits. A ripe chewy tannin structure imparts a firm, robust mouth feel. Infusions of provincial herbs, scorched earth and pepper the undercard. Long opulently fruited finish.
    Drink over the next 4-5 years.

    The Cotes Du Rhone is smoking good, offering up blackberries, pepper, and garrigue in a round, supple, medium to full-bodied style. Based on 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, and 10% Mourvèdre, partially aged in oak foudres, this impressive effort shows remarkable quality for the appellation.

    MARTINIQUE
    $114. 99
    Bottle
    $1379.88 Dozen
    ABV: 42%

    The first in a series of three cocktail-focused special releases, aka, the "Atelier des Rhums" series. Each explores different flavour profiles achieved through various cask treatments and types. Made from sugarcane pressed within an hour of harvest, open tank fermented with French baker's yeast for 24 hours then aged for 2 years in lightly toasted French and American oak barrels; Jardin Fruité presents a fruit forward style, with a hint of grassy cane reminding you that this is still agricole. It sips well on its own and makes a killer upgrade to any tropical punch or daiquiri variation, but the rum shines brightest in a spirit-forward stirred cocktail like an old-fashioned or Rum Manhattan, the balance of fruit and spice making for a robust and characterful drink. 42% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Bright citrus and fruit aromas lead to a mellow palate with wood, ripe fruit, and grassy undertones. Well-balanced and particularly appreciated for its fruity freshness; a solid choice for those exploring young Agricole rums. - RumX

    1993 Glendronach Single Cask No.5820 Pedro Ximenez Sherry Puncheon 29 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

    Featuring thick, dark tones of dried figs, prunes, apricots and dates, PX puncheon #5820 had an outturn of 678 bottles at 52.4% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

    While Glendronach single cask whiskies haven't been explicitly discontinued, they have completely disappeared from the distillery's website. Currently the Australian market has only three lines allocated. It’s said that their rarity is due to limited output and growing demand. That situation is partly due to Glendronach's closure from 1996 to 2002 which impacted the availability of older stock. It would also explain the distillery’s recent re-focus on core range expressions that coincided with a packaging upgrade in 2024. Typically offering outturns of around 600 bottles per cask, the single barrel selections are famous for offering snapshots of a particular cask at a specific point in time, making each one unique.

    ABV: 46%

    Debuting in 2024 and crafted by Master Blender, Karine Lassalle, Épices Créoles is aged for a minimum of 3 years in French and American oak barrels of varying sizes and char levels. The process of toasting the barrels results in a rum that's intensely spicy, but not spiced! 46% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... The nose is full of scintillating spice notes—particularly clove, allspice, and powdered ginger, with a bit of sweet nutmeg and other baking spices—and toasted oak. Tart, floral tropical fruit (mango, papyaya) comes in at the palate, mixed with herbal notes of sage and rosemary. Though it's decidedly fruity, the finish veers toward umami/earthy tones, with a balanced dryness, light to medium richness, and spark of spicy heat. 91 points - distiller.com

    "Really nice agricole. Pepper and spice with a good heat." - rumratings.com

    Notes from the producers... Nose: Delicate on the vanilla pod, honey and warm woody notes. After agitation, subtle notes of gingerbread with cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and ginger appear. Powerful and harmonious, the nose suggests a mouth with a bold character.  Palate: The attack on the palate is powerful on spicy notes: cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, pepper, almost hot pepper… spicy heat gradually gives way to toasted, roasted and almost smoky notes of oak wood. Finish: Captivating the smoky notes with a persistent spicy feel left on the upper lips.

    $450. 00
    Bottle
    $5400.00 Dozen
    ABV: 55.6%

    Mr. Symington clearly likes his malts matured in First Fill Oloroso butts. Given Auchentoshan's slightly lighter triple distilled spirit, we reckon this will be a 'cask driven' malt (read sherry bomb). Cask No.4 had an outturn of 689 bottles at 55.6% Alc./.Vol. Non chill filtered.

    Other reviews.... All about the sherry and none about the distillate. That’s ok, it’s well done. More umami on this one. Tomato vine, empty soup can, plums for sure. Red berries, but not tart or sour. It’s very good! A little pepper on the back end and a little drying. - whiskybase.com

    Kinglake Distillery Goodbye Popeye Single Malt Australian Whisky (500ml)
    Victoria, AUSTRALIA
    $149. 99
    Bottle
    $1799.88 Dozen
    ABV: 50%

    Three years back, Kinglake released American Werewolf in Paris—a single cask whisky built around the best of both French and American oak. It kicked off their French Connection series. Then came L’Americain. Now, two years on, they’re continuing the trilogy with Goodbye Popeye. It starts with a rest in American oak, enough time to let the spirit soften, sweeten and settle into itself. They then move it into something else special. For Goodbye Popeye, that meant 17 months in a 100L Rye cask straight out of an organic distillery in the US—still fragrant, still full of that hay spice and sweetness. After that, it spent another 18 months in a small-format Rutherglen Tawny cask. This Victorian fortified wine is a bold Australian interpretation of European port: sticky, dark, and rich with dried fruit and old wood. And you can taste it here. This one’s big. Full of jammy fruit, Easter chocolate, and flashes of burnt orange and smoke. The French side of the connection pulls a little stronger this time. It will appeal to those who enjoy a port-finish but equally fans who have always loved the bold, unapologetic character of Sam and Chantal’s Kinglake Single Malt. 50% Alc./Vol.

    1997 Signatory Vintage Macallan 25 Year Old Symington's Choice Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $2999. 00
    Bottle
    $35988.00 Dozen
    ABV: 54.8%

    Signatory’s founder, Andrew Symington was working at the prestigious Prestonfield House Hotel when he bought his first cask of whisky: a 1968 Glenlivet. Today, his good taste has transpired as a series in itself, highlighting his favourite casks from the vast selection housed in the enormous warehouses at Edradour in Pitlochry. The first Symington’s Choice selections were released in 2023 with a focus on heavily sherried single casks aged between 20-35 years old. It's these whiskies that (mostly) make up the current shipment. Subsequent releases will be a little younger, generally 15-20 years old, though still predominantly from first fill sherry casks. Apart from the expected quality, there is a 'wow factor' to the prices that makes each and every one worthy of consideration.

    Obviously matured in a first-fill Oloroso sherry butt, you'd have to go back to the 1980s to discover Macallans as deep and dark as this. We have a small number of bottles from cask 12/3. Serge Valentin from whiskyfun tasted sister cask 12/4 and was impressed. Expections would be similar here. 649 bottles produced. 54.8% Alc./vol. Non chill filtered.

    Notes from a sister cask 12/4... The whisky is almost as dark as the label! Here is a brand new range from Signatory, very high-end, with some pretty extraordinary names like Laphroaig, Bowmore, and indeed, Macallan. The prices seem high, but I'm sure it's worth it and not just marketing hype. At least it's not another NAS with a fancy name and story, straight from ChatGPT or Wikipedia. Colour: coffee. Nose: a pretty wonderful dry sherry, full of Havana tobacco, prunes, dried dates, old walnuts, and hoisin sauce, with an extraordinary fermentary and even slightly acetic side (old balsamic vinegar). We're a bit in the territory of a very old Ténarèze, or of the best of the Macallan 'Gran Reserva' from back in the day. With water: it becomes rather more elegant, almost slightly austere, with a very "grand chocolate from a great house" side. I always find it amusing to hear my Swiss, Belgian, Italian, Spanish or French friends claim that they make the best chocolates in the world. What if it were the Scots, perhaps even Scots from Pitlochry? Mouth (neat): creamy, goes down easily! Well, almost, there's still a lot of thickness, a syrupy texture, liquorice and pipe tobacco, a bit of tar, lots of dried prunes, Corinth raisins, precious molasses (if it existed), then peppermint and very chocolatey toffee... With water: it peacocks and goes fractal, with lots of spices, dried fruits, organic matter, and various old liqueurs. Alright, let's finish it, we don't have all day... Finish: long as a day without bread and indeed, rather on very damp pumpernickel, chocolate, and competition fruitcake (we have the winner). Comments: a real hit, after Signatory's sublime range of '30th Anniversary Bottlings' of three or five years ago. Come on, let's store it in its bottle for twenty more years to try to reach 95/100, then we'll talk about it again. What's sure is that this is Macallan as in 'Macallan', that is to say In compliance with what is written on the label of the bottle that follows... 93 points - whiskyfun.com

    Well, I think I got the full name right here. From the Murphy vineyard I believe, on Wilderness Road.
    Lime and lemongrass, a honey toast thing, bright and juicy, excellent flavour with a gentle chalky grip, has weight but it’s nicely balanced and the finish is very long. This is excellent. Right in the slot, though no hurry. Drink 2024-2034+

    Gary Walsh – The Wine Front

    Only five years young, that extra time has certainly done its thing. A superb wine, I had the luxury of tasting this De Iuliis Aged Release Single Vineyard Semillon alongside its newly released 2024 sibling and it was quite the treat to see where things are at. Go here.
    There is still plenty of energy within and the slight toasty character expected with age is starting to show its hand. Honey tones are seeping through too, with lemons and limes not far from the action, albeit not as vibrant but there is still some zip. A sip slow and consider type of wine, match this with the textural splendour of scallops and heaven awaits. This will live comfortably for at least another decade. Superb stuff indeed. Drink to 2034+

    The pale hue in the glass hints at the grenache dominance (77%), which came off 40-year-old vines on the home Bracken vineyard in Blewitt Springs, with the shiraz (19%) and mataro (4%) from the Wait vineyard. Those smaller components structure and add a little brood and dried herb, but they are backup singers to the redcurrant, cherry, wild raspberry, rose petal and cranberry of the main act. It’s a good arrangement, with upfront appeal and a mineral-inflected structure on a medium-framed but impactful wine. Drink by 2028.

    Fermented with 15% whole bunches, with seven days total on skins; six months in seasoned oak. Fragrant and supple, with sour black cherry, wild raspberry, goji, pressed flowers and hardy Mediterranean herbs, this is an excellent expression of the grape. Hitting mid-weight and savoury, absent any confection, which can sometimes dog the variety, this is so adroitly made, picked at the right time and avoiding any showiness by using winemaking tools to frame, not control, with the line of fine and ripe, sandy tannins underlining its class. Nailed it. Drink by 2030.

    Sourced from blocks planted by Trevor Mast in the 1990s. Maturation in French barriques (40% new) for 15 months. It is a constant that Talus is immediately understated, elegant and yet it builds and builds in the glass. Lifted florals, acacia, sage, black pepper mix with dark berries and woodsy scented oak. The pepper factor, while supple and fresh, runs long and lingering. Ditto fine tannins. Very MLG. Drink by 2036.

    Vividly fragrant, featuring notes of black pepper and crushed dark fruit. It has a more pronounced tannin structure than is characteristic of Langi’s single vineyards. Tightly wound, it displays subtle blue fruit character and an austere, compact finish. While drinkable now, it will become significantly more expressive with some bottle age. Drink from 2025.

    A brilliant and bright Shiraz shows the elegance and sleek style of this region. Spicy cherry and plummy characters emerge on the nose with just a little black pepper character. The super fine and elegantly structured palate is the highlight. The spicy fruits with their lightly dried herb and bright berry characters are immediately captivating. Fine chalky tannins and oak, of which 40% was new, strike a perfect supporting balance. Terrific wine. Drink 2024-2037.

    Sadly now destined for development, the original Balgownie vineyard planted by Stuart Anderson in '70 made another stunning wine in '24 in the hands of Heathcote winemakers Tobias Ansted, former Balgownie winemaker, and Simon Osicka. Gives Bendigo cabernet some TLC which sets it soaring. Revels in the kind of complexity that old vines bring with deep, concentrated black fruits with a full spectrum of cabernet characters: cassis, blackberry, loganberry, dark olive, tilled earth, leaf, clove and herbs balanced perfectly in fine tannins laid out against a gentle cedary oak background. Gets the pulse racing, it's that good. A wine for posterity. Drink by 2040.

    Does what the label says. What an awesome opportunity to see this significant site through another lens. And such a worthy one. This is a complete schooling in cabernet.
    It’s quite the feat to do depth of flavour, concentration, and then silky drawl, freshness, finesse and persistence. A coolness to this wine and then the onslaught of dark cherry, ripe plum, fig and date, brambles and dried leaves, choc mint and dried herbs, all with the volume up, and then vacuum pack it all into a svelte, muscular and fine frame. Silky texture, a firmness and pliancy here – this feel is superb above so much on show here. This is a wine for hearty drinking, huge enjoyment, and yet there’s so much contemplation to lean into here. My word. Drink 2025-2040.

    Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Colleccion Extra Anejo 100% Agave Tequila (700ml) - 38%

    $199. 99
    Bottle
    $2399.88 Dozen
    ABV: 38%

    First released in 1995 to celebrate the company's 200th birthday, José Cuervo Reserva de la Familia pioneered the category of extended age Tequila. Matured for a minimum of two years in a combination of American and French oak barrels, some of the reserve components are up to thirty years old. The tequila itself which has been described as "rich and brandy-like" doesn't change much from year to year. And just as consistency has become its hallmark, so too has been its high praise. What does change annually is the packaging, with a different Mexican artist making each release a collector’s item. 

    In 2023 the box has been designed by artists Rolando Flores and Gabriel Cázares of the Mexico-based Tercerunquinto Collective. The custom art titled “Structuring a Landscape”, features a geometric abstraction of the landscape of Jalisco.

    [2017 edition tasted from a 20ml sample] Pale copper gold. The bouquet combines blanco-like vibrancy with the kind of depth you'd expect from XO cognac - brine, charred capsicum, smoldering eucalyptus, beeswax, vanilla and menthol... with air contact, it also presents a drier, woody aspect including cigar box, cedar and white pepper. Likewise the silky delivery matches sappy agave and butter menthol lozenge-like flavours against drying astringency. It's delicate and somewhat fleeting through the finish, trailing off with black tea, potpourri, white pepper, hints of grilled pineapple, vanilla and trace beeswax. The overall effect strikes a fine balance between young and old. [40% Alc./Vol. tasted]

    The quirky name has some context to it, the wine sourced from two vineyards in different regions, one in Kersbrook (Adelaide Hills) and the other in Blewitt Springs (McLaren Vale), both of which sit under a larger official appellation known as the Adelaide zone. The name also refers to winemaker Ben Riggs’s love of the Montepulciano in Italy’s Abruzzo region, and his desire to create a worthy South Australian reflection. That he has – a vibrant wine nose to tail, of sun-kissed violet flowers with an underlayer of dusty cellars, toast and blackberry conserve, the palate echoing its aromatics, rich yet balanced, an exotic spicy feel threaded within the flavour profile. A fruit-forward style in a modern frame – tasty to the hilt.

    A juicy Bordeaux styled blend that lacks varietal character.

    A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. Totally opaque black dark red colour with a dark red hue. Ripe plum and liquorice scents mix with some morello cherry, dried herb, subtle tobacco and spice notes. Juicy ripe plum and blackcurrant fruits meld into a mulberry, dried herb, tobacco and spice back drop. Fine grained tannins with a mid length finish.
    Drink over the next 1-2 years.

    A 45/25/25/5% merlot/cabernet franc/cabernet sauvignon/malbec blend. Made using open top fermenters and matured in older French oak. A light–medium bright crimson red. Smells appealing from the get-go with its lifted aromas of cherries and raspberries, some floral notes and a little fragrant tomato leaf. Medium bodied with some gently grippy and persistent tannins. My advice is to drink with food now, or wait another six to 12 months for the wine to open up and soften a little. Drink by 2028.

    Light and supple with crunchy underlying acidity and an elegant finish.

    Dark red core with black shaded edges and a bright red hue. Fragrant sour and red cherry aromas infused with fresh herbs drift through the nostrils. Some cranberry, winter strawberry, stalky earth and spice notes are also apparent. Light in body and carrying a supple flow across the palate are sour to red cherry, cranberry and winter strawberry fruits which are underpinned by crunchy acidity. Lingering through the back half are some earth, dried herb and spice characters. Fine tannins finishing fresh and elegant.
    Drink over the next 2-3 years.

Rich, expansive and possessing a glycerol like texture peach, apricot and honeycomb flavours coat the palate. Some nougat and ginger spice like characters linger in the back end.

    Aged on lees; barrel fermentation in seasoned French oak. Varietally true and expressive from that first whiff of honeysuckle, citrus and white peach. Offers a ripe, deep dive into marsanne where citrus and stone fruit flavours are tied nicely to subtle nougat, almond and textural beeswax leesy notes. Well defined in its youth, it can only improve with age. Drink by 2031.

    Rich and oaky with a strong toasty vanillin oak component overwhelming the finish.

    Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months with 5% Tempranillo included in the blend. Impenetrable inky black heart with a very deep dark red black hue. Ripe black cherry and liquorice aromas fill the nostrils followed by some blackberry, vanillin cedar and peppered fennel notes. Rich and oaky, opulent blackberry and liquorice fruits are pitted against a strong toasty vanillin oak component which overwhelms the back half and finish. Some earthy dark chocolate and peppered fennel characters are also evident. Ripe sturdy tannin structure with toasty vanillin oak dominating the aftertaste.
    Drink over the next 3-4 years.
