The 2023 Chenin Nunc Tempus Est leads with a varietal nose of green apple (stewed and sweet), white flowers, beeswax and silex. In the mouth, the wine is firm and structured, with intense flavor and gentle grippy phenolics through the finish. This Chenin Blanc is possessed of that typical fruity/bitter note that declares its varietal origin and a saline, mineral aspect that speaks of the place in which it was grown. This is very good. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2026-2038.

Erin Larkin – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate50% was matured in old oak for two months, the other 50% seeing stainless steel only.
This is a wine of presence and detail but it finishes taut, which makes me think that its best days are a while ahead. Green apple, lots of spice and gravel characters, thistles, citrus, woodsmoke and green mango. It’s a powerful wine, sure-footed, textural and charismatic. It’s enough to turn you onto chenin. Indeed, it’s enough to make you want to cellar it. This is a wine of clear excellence. Drink 2027-2031+

Campbell Mattinson – The Wine FrontThis is a chenin that lets the guys in the Swan Valley know they don’t have it all their way with this variety. The season was kind, and it’s resulted in a thoroughly beautiful example. It doesn’t have the obvious tropical fruits of some chenins, but it still shows fine citrus, light melon and apple characters that capture the variety perfectly. There’s almost a delicacy about this, which is as much about the season as it is about the grape. It’s a cracking wine and thoroughly enjoyable.

Founded in 2021, Neldner Road is the latest fine wine venture from David Powell of Torbreck fame. In his small winery in the Southern Barossa, Powell uses his established grower relationships and local knowledge to fashion some very impressive Shiraz that, while sharing some of the DNA of his previous ventures, also charts a new path. However, extended French oak aging, particularly in Dominique Laurent casks, remains a key component of his style. The best Shiraz are extraordinary. This is definitely a winery worth putting on your radar.
The stunning 2021 Shiraz Chatterton's is made with fruit from six vineyards over 100 years old and delivers precise and pure kaleidoscopic aromas of blackberry, baked earth, game and roasted spice. The palate is then linear and seamless, with a powerful yet tight core of flavor supported by a genuine tannic grip. It is fascinating and beautifully crafted, and it will be a pleasure to see it unfold over the next two decades. Drink 2030-2046.

Aberlour Double Sherry Cask Finish 18 Year Old Batch No. 005 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND$250. 00Bottle$3000.00 DozenABV: 43%If the standard 12 year old has become a staple in your collection, you'll want to step up to the 18. It delivers extra richness and intensity due to a 'double sherry finish' featuring Spanish oak Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry butts. Some tasters have said it exceeds the best reviews and easily knocks Macallan 18 Year Old into second place. Basically, you get a better dram at half the price. Like other older sherry matured malts, we recommend letting it sit in the glass so that the leather and drying oak notes recede and the juicy apple and orange character comes to the fore. 43% Alc./vol.
Other reviews... I'm always a bit grumpy about colored and chill-filtered whiskies, but I have to admit, this one is pretty good, and the price is almost reasonable these days. Overall, a very solid vatting with some minor flaws. It's manageable... Sweet black cherries, tart black currants, and milk chocolate, all surprisingly pleasantly interwoven. Sweet from the sherry, spices tickle the palate, it becomes drier and subtle oak follows. - whiskybase.com

Alc. 11% - Billecart-Salmon Le Reserve Champagne Extra Brut (375ml)Champagne, FRANCE$64. 99Bottle$779.88 DozenABV: 12%
What was one of the best value non vintage Champagnes on the market has just got even better. Previously labelled as Brut Reserve, the team at Billecart, have made a number of quality improvements to the core elements of this Cuvee and have rebranded it ‘Le Reserve’. The key changes being as follows:-
- Extended aging on lees, increased from an average of 30 months to 50 months.
- Reduced dosage (extra brut, 3g/l) for greater purity and expression of terroir.
- More depth with 15 different vintages in the bottle
- Larger proportion of wines vinified in barrels, adding richness and density.
A rich, mouthfilling yet tense and stimulating Champagne that delivers remarkable complexity for the price.
A blend of 43% Meunier, 29% Chardonnay and 28% Pinot Noir with over 50% reserve wines included in the blend. A buoyant, satiny mousse floats over a pale straw to straw coloured base that has pale gold tinged edges. Fine, nimble bead with alluring aromas of baked bread, yeast lees, oily toast, citrus and brioche wafting through the nostrils. Rich and mouth filling yet simultaneously tense and stimulating, the palate is laden with baked bread, yeast lees and citrus flavours which sit over an oily toast and almond back drop. Crisp acidity finishing very dry, long and remarkably complex for a house non vintage cuvee. A definite step up on its previous incarnation.

Bottle code: L 24 247 01 12:50 M - Lot code - 2024 - Sep 3rd - Buffalo Trace - 12.50pm - Bottling line M.
Home to one of the highest rated whiskeys in the world, and now released bi-annually, the 23 year old began as a semi-annual bottling in 2005 that would quickly sell out upon release. That changed in 2010 when it was made a permanent member on the portfolio. Distilled and bottled by the Sazerac Company at its Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, the various age statements on offer are regarded by many as some of the finest bourbons in the world. As the oldest of the Pappy Van Winkle line up, the 23 year old is also the woodiest of the range with a slightly diminished sweetness. However bourbons of this ilk always need ample air contact to show their finer points, which was precisely Jim Murray's experience upon re-tasting it for his 2020 Whisky Bible (95 points review below). Almost unobtainable, it routinely commands big dollars.Other reviews... The corn oils kiss and caress, the tannins barge and batter in a good cop / bad cop delivery... one of the holy grails of bourbon is to produce a consistently a 23-25 year old bourbon which is still sweet and not tannin dominated: no easy task. [this is] unquestionably drier... there are still sugars enough to give some fabulous moments on the palate. The tannins do though, still have the biggest say. But remember, this whiskey has matured for a very long time. 47.8% Alc./Vol. 95 points - Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2020
...Nose: Deep, powerful and concentrated. This has moved into almost rancio territory: eucalypt/laurel, spice, burnt orange peel, apple, pear, biscuity wood. Palate: Soft and surprisingly delicate given the age. A charred note adds to the complexity. Gentle and elegant: cigar box, prune, molasses, soot. Finish: Long. In fact it’s very, very long and complex. Comment: A subtle sipper to be taken neat and definitely without ice! 90 points - David Broom, www.whiskymag.com

The flagship Riesling from the team comes from the estate vineyard in the Polish Hill River sub-region in the Clare valley. 100% free run juice with four months on lees. As always, this will sit with the very finest Rieslings made in the region for the vintage. Very pale steel/lemon in hue, this is still extremely youthful. Taut, poised and tightly focused, the nose reveals notes of grapefruits, lemongrass, florals, wet slate, limes and jasmine. There is a fine line of acidity running the length. Excellent energy throughout, this is a juicy style, immaculately balanced, with an extremely long finish. It will still be amazing wine lovers in two decades, likely longer. Drink 2025-2045.

This has always been a special wine for Pikes, and the fruit is sourced from the best parts of the Polish Hill River estate. Made similarly to the Traditional, with 100% free-run juice, however receives a slightly longer time on lees, providing a balance with that fine natural acidity and producing a textural mouthfeel that loses nothing as far as maintaining that linear line through to the finish. The nose displays that citrus lime character and a slightly pebbly talc-like influence. There is real intensity and drive through the palate here, and it extends effortlessly but with purpose through to a long finish. It’s a lovely wine. Drink 2025-2040.

Ray Jordan – WinePilot.comThis is from the best parcels of Riesling from their Polish Hill River estate. In other news, I’ve finally thrown in the towel and started wearing reading glasses. This at the ripe old age of 55. I have to say, I find them annoying to wear while tasting because my glass often touches the frames. On the upside, I do look very handsome in them, and they probably raise my IQ by a few points. Anyway, I think of our own BBPP when I taste this wine, which makes me frown a bit, thus offering an extra dimension to my new found reading glasses wearing persona.
Quite some perfume here. I’m thinking lemongrass, lavender, bath salts, and fresh cut ginger. Lime juice and pink grapefruit, a fine dusty feel to it, and a something of a gin and tonic refreshment value. The acidity is juicy and firm, but not hard, and the finish is very long, spicy and chalky. There’s purity and restraint here, and it feels like it will do very well in the cellar. Drink 2026-2037+

Four Gate Whiskey Company Split Stave By Kelvin Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)Kentucky, UNITED STATES$320. 00Bottle$3840.00 DozenABV: 56.5%Four Gate Whiskey Company opened in 2018 as a Non Distiller Producer (NDP). The founders never plan to distill, instead, they focus on sourcing the highest quality barrels to age small batch whiskeys. Managing a consistent flavour profile for a flagship product has been difficult, however, they finally secured enough whiskey to ensure a steady availability of their core Bourbon for the foreseeable future. It's called 'Split Stave by Kelvin' because of the custom finishing casks they employ. Essentially, the Kelvin Cooperage team dismantle and rebuild a series of medium toasted casks, alternating between toasted staves and #2 char staves on some barrels, and toasted and #4 char staves on others. The name “Split Stave” has since become an industry trademark. Four Gate's Bourbon is at least seven years old and created from a 75% Corn, 20% Rye and 5% Malted Barley mash bill. 56.5% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... [Batch #10 tasted] Lush cooked dark fruit and dark chocolate aromas, mingling with baking spice, earthen floor, leather, and iced tea hint at what's to come on the palate: chocolate-covered cherries, blackberry jam, a sweep of gingerbread spices, plus fresh mint and zesty dill, all with ample depth.

To celebrate the collaboration, Four Gate selected eight year old whiskeys (reportedly from Four Roses) with a mash bill of 75% corn, 20% rye, and 5% malted barley, then re-barrelled them in new toasted and charred casks. The resulting double-oaked Bourbon is described as a "Show stopper" and"...a beast of a whiskey. The proof and oaky profile aren’t for the faint of heart...": The label features the logos of both Four Gate Whiskey Company and Kelvin Cooperage. To our knowledge, Four Roses don't do finishes, so if it is from that distillery, it's sure to be a compelling sipper for enthusiasts, with added appeal for collectors alike. 2,340 bottles were produced at 125.6 proof.

Vermouth Rosso is a robust barrel-rested vermouth that complements The Gospel's rye whiskey while highlighting the purity of the grape. Savoury botanicals were carefully selected and blended before resting in x-rye whiskey barrels. The result is an aromatic vermouth, with density of fruit and a balance of bitterness on the palate, perfect for mixing in a Boulevardier or Manhattan. Or simply enjoy on the rocks or serve tall with soda water as a refreshing spritz. 18% Alc./Vol.

Tyrconnell 16 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey (700ml)IRELAND$169. 99Bottle$2039.88 DozenABV: 46%Other reviews... Sweet sherry with a heady spring floral intensity, lemon, honey, and graham crackers, yet delicate as a dandelion seed in a summer breeze. The palate is seductively sweet, with honey, effervescent lemon sherbet, caramel, and spices, showing a little more of the wine, fruit, and hints of citrus. Distinctively different, the finish is initially drying, then the fruit returns with a grapefruit peel sharpness. Terrifically good dram.

Domaine Charles Audoin was formed in 1972 by Charles and his oenologist wife Marie-Francoise, starting with three hectares in Marsannay. Their holding has now grown to around 14 hectares that captures some of the best parcels in Marsannay. Their son Cyril joined his father in 2000, and is now in charge of both vineyard and winemaking activities for the Domaine. Cyril is increasingly focused on vineyard health, to deliver wines with pure varietal expression and a sense of place. They are among the most serious wines from the area, and while juicy and approachable young, have the capacity to age gracefully for many years.
This rosé is made from 100% Pinot Noir, sourced from organically farmed vineyards in and around the Marsannay appellation. Blush pink tinged colour. A mix of strawberry, pomegranate and cherry aromas stream out of the glass with hints of musk and wet stone also evident. Showing excellent intensity of flavour the palate features delicious raspberry, strawberry, cherry and pomegranate fruits which carry a silken feel. Watermelon, delicate musk and wet stone elements sit in the background. Mildly tangy acidity with the long moreish finish gorgeously polished in it’s texture.

Full and fruity nose, expressive and ripe, nicely perfumed and expressive. Clean and clear, extremely mineral, graphite, pencil lead and flint stone notes on the palate alongside clear blue fruits, blueberries, blackcurrants and some red summer berries. Super smooth in terms of texture but also quite lean in terms of fruit flavour, this has bite and tang, a touch austere but also really quite juicy and floral too. Needs a bit of time, but feels precise and focussed with grip and intensity. I like the fruitiness, really quite upfront but keeping the liveness and energy. Succulent and nicely sweet touches with juicy acidity. Easy enjoyment, plush, mineral, all in balance. 3.6pH. 12% press wine. A yield of 39hl/ha. Drink 2026-2044.

Georgina Hindle - DecanterOne of my favorites this year and surely a wine that punches above its weight, the 2022 Joanin Bécot reveals a perfumed, vibrant bouquet of iris, lilac, dark berries, licorice and violet. Medium to full-bodied, supple and satiny, it's lively and juicy with a fresh core of fruit, bright acids and fleshy texture, concluding with a fresh, ethereal and mouthwatering finish. This blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc is a real success and worth hunting down. Drink 2025-2032.

Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateI loved the 2022 Château Joanin Bécot, a juicy, lively, nicely balanced Castillon that has perfumed red fruits as well as the classic mineral and floral nuances of the region. It's medium-bodied, has integrated acidity, and a great finish. The blend is 80/20 Merlot and Cabernet Franc from the cooler, limestone Castillon region east of Saint-Emilion, and this beauty will drink well for 10-15 years if well stored. Readers could do much worse than a case of this in the cellar. Drink 2025-2040.

All styles, all price points – Bleasdale does it all so well. This is tip-top with its upfront fruit flavours, spiced plums and black cherries, a touch of kirsch, too. It’s spicy, very juicy and tangy, super vibrant with just enough fruit tannins to add more shape to its barely medium-bodied palate. Nice one. Drink by 2031.

Made from estate vines planted in 1972 above the tunnel dug into the limestone a century ago to grow mushrooms. That’s another story. This spent 18 months in French oak, with about 15% new. There’s a savoury elegance to this, while also having intensity and power. Cedar and currant, cassis and mulberry, tobacco leaf and briary herbal notes. It’s a little up from mid-weight, composed and with a serious core of tannin. This promises to mellow well with age, with a charming old-school ‘claret’ feel to it. Drink by 2034.

Marcus Ellis – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion - The Gospel Fresh Orange Amaro (500ml)Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA$39. 99Bottle$479.88 DozenABV: 23%
The brand famous for its rye whiskies is branching out under sub-label "The Dispensary". This addition started out as an in-house experiment, inspired by classic Italian bitters but with a local Melbourne twist. Deep citrus notes are softened with floral and fresh fruit sweetness creating a blend to be consumed in the Summer months. “You could say Rye Whiskey is our first love, but seriously, who doesn’t love a spritz in the park on a sunny Melbourne afternoon?” says Andrew Fitzgerald, Co-Founder of The Gospel. For a boozier cocktail, pair it with The Gospel Solera Rye in a Boulevardier, or add extra depth and complexity to a Negroni. Or simply serve tall with soda water and an orange wedge. 23% Alc./Vol.

'The Shaman' is aged in ex-Bourbon casks, initially revealing hints of green wood, white pepper and faint grassiness on the nose before settling into thick malt and vanillas. The richness repeats on the palate as tea biscuits and cream sponge cake with a moderate spirit kick. Sweet malt and dark chocolate complete the finish. A mainstream profile for a Bourbon matured dram - also unusually elegant for Australian whisky. 46% Alc./Vol.

Marananga-sourced grenache … pretty close to the border of where the dialect changes and the old-timers call the grape 'Greeeeeen-ash'. A gentle ruby in the glass. It's a pretty-smelling little thing. All cherries and wild strawberry. Raspberry too, with hints of citrus blossom, gingerbread, rose petals, exotic spice, charcuterie, earth and distant glimpses of sarsaparilla. Airy and spacious with lots of detail, a vivid minerally tension and a chalky, savoury sour cherry sheen to its passing. Drink by 2030.
