    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.

    Outstanding power, energy and structure with a long, dynamically juicy finish.

    Domaine Saint-Damien is run by Joel and Amie Saurel whose family has been tending vineyards for four generations, dating back to 1821. Until relatively recently they sold all of their grapes to negociants. In 1998 they brought on consulting winemaker Philippe Cambie and haven’t looked back. Of the estates 42 acres of vineyards, 30 acres are in Gigondas with vines that have an average age of 50 years.
    A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah matured in large old foudres for a period of 12 months.
    Dense midnight black dark red core with a bright red to dark red hue. Wafting out of the glass are intense dark raspberry, liquorice and black plum scents which are complimented by some black cherry, violet, provincial herb, scorched earth and pepper notes. Rich, concentrated and succulent yet showing remarkable freshness, the palate is drenched in a tidal wave of dark raspberry, liquorice and black cherry fruits which are framed by muscular tannins and vibrant acidity. Infusions of Provencial herbs, earthy incense and pepper extend across the back half. Possessing outstanding power, energy and structure, it finishes long and dynamically juicy.
    Drink over the next 6-8 years.

    The 2023 Gigondas Vieilles Vignes offers fabulous notes of black cherries, licorice, roasted garrigue, and peppery Provençal nuances. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied Gigondas offering ample mid-palate depth, sweet tannins, and a great finish.

    A juicy explosion of rich black fruit.

    An entry level label from one of Chateauneuf Du Pape’s most acclaimed domaines, Clos Saint Jean with fruit being sourced from Vaucluse which adjoins the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation. A blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Caladoc aged in concrete vats for 9 months, Caladoc is a hybrid grape – a cross between Grenache and Malbec that’s well suited to dry, warm climates.
    Very deep dark red black colour with a dark red hue. The alluring nose is flooded with ripe dark raspberry, black cherry and liquorice aromas which are complimented by some provincial herb, earthy incense and pepper notes. Rich and opulent, juicy black raspberry, liquorice and ripe black cherry fruits explode across the palate with notions of scorched earth, infusions of provincial herbs, incense and peppered meats lurking in the background. Polished yet slightly chewy tannins. Expansive and powerful, it has a long, succulent finish.

    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

    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.

    $1320.00 Dozen
    ABV: 14%
    Closure: Cork

    Planted in 2001 on a northeast-facing slope of dark volcanic soils over limestone, the Farrside vineyard produces a more structured and brooding style of Pinot Noir compared to its Sangreal counterpart. Hand-picked and wild-fermented, the fruit sees partial whole bunch inclusion before maturing in 50–60% new Allier oak.

    The cooler conditions of 2023 delayed harvest by 10–12 days, adding freshness and poise to the wine’s muscular frame. Complex, savoury, and finely structured, Farrside balances intensity with elegance, delivering a wine of depth and longevity that will evolve beautifully in the cellar.

    The evolution of this site and wine is complexing, gone are the days of words being used like bold, brash and muscular. Now two decades of releasing the wine, the description is fine, vibrate and ethereal. This wine has a retained nose for the moment, but the mouthfeel is almost jubilant in comparison. Even against the Sangreal, this feels plush and luxurious. A soft creamy and varietal ripeness, all swirling around to deliver lots of pleasure. It’s texturally generous and provides a nice counterpoint to the tight, edgy flavours of spice and pepper that is Farrside.

    2023 Sangreal By Farr Pinot Noir
    Geelong, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
    $135. 00
    Bottle
    $1620.00 Dozen
    ABV: 14%
    Closure: Diam Cork

    Planted in 1994, Sangreal is By Farr’s oldest vineyard, lying on a north-facing slope with bluestone and limestone soils streaked with red ironstone. Its unique north–south orientation and long exposure to sunlight produce Pinot Noir of lift, perfume, and seamless elegance. Over the decades, the 114 and 115 clones have evolved into what the Farrs call the “Sangreal clone,” giving this site its own microclimate identity.

    The 2023 vintage was crafted with 70% whole bunches and matured in 70% new French oak. Following a four-day cold soak, fermentation occurred naturally before 18 months of élevage. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, Sangreal delivers a highly perfumed and finely structured expression of Pinot Noir—consistently the most seamless and aromatic of the By Farr single-vineyard wines.

    Sour cherry and cream. Green pepper, cornichon, dried citrus peel. Loads of brown spice like mace, cloves and even a waft of cardamom. Ripe plum, dark cherries, dried earth and a warmth, not from alcohol but generosity of flavour. The wine is so welcoming. I just had the smallest sip, and this wine just mushrooms out, that classic peacocks tail writ large across my palate. It’s so intense and complex. It has an acid level equal to its myriad layers, which just heightens the excitement of this wine. In my wine life I have tasted many wines, but no winery l can think of comes close to a house style as Wine By Farr. Like it or love it, you can tell who grew and made these wines. In these wines is an undeniable presence of place and winemaker.

    ABV: 13.5%
    Closure: Diam Cork

    Planted in 1994 on the same red-soil-over-limestone site as Sangreal Pinot Noir, this vineyard combines Dijon and Penfolds 58 clones on an exposed north-facing slope. Fruit is hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed, with the solids settled out and the juice chilled before transfer to barrel (30% new French oak). Natural fermentation proceeds slowly over one to two months, followed by gentle lees stirring to initiate malolactic. After 11 months’ maturation, the wine is racked, fined, lightly filtered, and bottled.

    As always, the Chardonnay by Farr is as good an example of this grape as you will find. It pleases those that read and drink widely and pleases those who don’t care for all the flummery, yet still want great wine. Whichever side you are on, it doesn’t change how the wine tastes. The 2024 Chardonnay by Farr has such a lovely softness and is balanced by a tightrope of acidity. The wine is generous without being too forward, and the complexity of this wine is peerless in my opinion. It has aromatic and ripe fruit expression, but at its heart it is saline and savoury with terrific length. I always try to drink the wine while l write these, which is perhaps why l wrote so many words. It meant l could drink more of this stunning wine.

    $1320.00 Dozen
    ABV: 14%
    Closure: Diam Cork

    Planted in 1994, the original By Farr vineyard is the source of this Shiraz. Set on a north-facing slope with red volcanic soil over limestone and deep sandstone, it delivers fruit of concentration and poise. All grapes are hand-picked from VSP trellising, with a portion of whole bunches included to bring added spice and structure. In most vintages, 2–4% Viognier is co-fermented, depending on timing, adding aromatic lift and a subtle textural edge.

    The 2023 was naturally fermented, spending 19 days on skins before pressing. Maturation followed in French oak for 18 months, 20% new, before bottling under vacuum. This careful process highlights the distinctive character of the vineyard and the meticulous attention to detail that defines the By Farr estate.

    This is sensational. It’s everything that amazing Shiraz tastes like. I say that from a non “big Aussie” Shiraz viewpoint. How a wine from the Moorabool Valley tastes like something from the Northern Rhone escapes me. Salty, peppery, black olives, floral notes and barrel spice. It has a coolness to it, accentuated by the acid that makes you finish one sip and immediately go for another one. It’s hard not to be gluttonous when a wine tastes this good. It is a breathtaking example of cool climate Shiraz and words cannot express the delight that it delivers. I’m so happy drinking this wine.

    2024 Viognier By Farr

    $110. 00
    Bottle
    $1320.00 Dozen
    ABV: 13.5%
    Closure: Diam Cork

    Fruit is sourced from the original 1994 house block (friable red soil over limestone and sandstone) and a younger planting on red ironstone. Viognier is notoriously demanding in the vineyard, prone to horizontal growth, sunburn, and requiring ample water, so in recent years the fruit has been picked earlier to preserve natural acidity and finesse.

    In the winery, grapes are foot-stomped and left on skins for several hours before pressing. Juice is transferred with all solids to barrel for natural fermentation, with gentle stirring in late autumn to initiate malolactic. The wine spends 11 months in barrel before racking, fining, filtration, and bottling.
    Alc. 13.5%

    Other Reviews....
    The ‘24 Viognier is an ultimate expression of oxidative winemaking, surrounded by bright acidity and savoury qualities. The wine has weight but think structure and refinement with a velvet touch. Year in year out, the Viognier by Farr blows the stereotypes of the variety to pieces, with it’s beautiful balance of peach, green ginger spice, chalk, flint and saline finish. Fast becoming another cult Farr wine.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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 2023 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett opens with some reduction, but the yeastiness blends with lemon. The palate is sleek and contoured, vividly fine, with cool, salty slate. Its blue, cool aspect shines with yellow lemon, creating a gorgeous complementary accord that accentuates absolute elegance. Drink 2026-2056.

    Super elegant and super filigreed, with ravishing aromas of honeysuckle, white peaches and Asian pears, this is a very sophisticated and polished wine for this category. Incredibly refreshing, but also incredibly silky on the light-bodied palate. Then comes the extremely long and precise finish in which floral and wet-stone elements are almost perfectly interwoven. Drink or hold.

    The 2023 Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Spätlese exudes a mossy green charm with lemon balm tinged in slight citric sweetness.

    A very cool and elegant Mosel riesling spatlese with aromas of white flowers dripping after a summer storm. Brimming with sliced pear fruit but barely off-dry on the palate, this is so easy to enjoy, with its deep well of finesse. The interplay of racy acidity, wet-stone character and fruit in the finish is stunningly beautiful. Drink or hold.

    The 2023 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese opens with a highly delicate bouquet of finely crushed or weathered slate into which the fruit is bedded like a princess so that the terroir and Riesling fruit are already perfectly interwoven at this early stage. Round and juicy as well as saline and with mineral grip on the palate, this is a dense and stimulating saline and frisky Spätlese from one of the finest Mosel terroirs. It is endlessly saline and salivating on the crystalline, super clear and vivacious finish. This is a great, highly stimulating and finessed Spätlese indeed! 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork.

    The 2023 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese is still a little reductive. A slight dried herbal frisson plays around tender yellow plum notes on the shy nose. The palate is beautifully light and vividly citric with gentle lemon candy sweetness and luminous freshness. A tingling, balanced, vivid finish accentuates the lightness. Drink 2026-2060.

    Still quite closed and tightly wound, this firmly structured Mosel riesling spatlese needs some time for the fruit aromas to unfurl. Excellent concentration and delicacy of flavor in a more forthrightly mineral direction than the spring-like classics from the neighboring Wehlener Sonnenuhr. A long-distance runner that demands some patience. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

    The sensuous curves of Art Nouveau design and joyful flourishes of rococo both give an idea of what Mosel riesling elegance means, but in a masterpiece like this it takes on a totally distinctive feeling unlike anything else on Planet Wine. The white peach fruit, white flower aromas and slatey minerality all tingle on your palate, then flicker on and on in a totally fascinating manner in the nearly endless finish. The touch of sweetness is already beautifully integrated, although the wine just began a decades-long life. Drink or hold.

    This fabulous Auslese lays out a whole basket of exotic fruit before you. The almost supernatural freshness is no less exciting. Terrific tension between the two, the acidity giving this great brilliance on the extremely precise, medium-bodied palate. The finish almost perfectly balances the restrained richness and intense wet-stone minerality. Limited production. Still very youthful, but how can you resist the beauty? Drink or hold.

    The 2023 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese, made virtually without botrytis from fully ripe grapes, offers a shy tone of stone and yeast. The palate features Mirabelle jelly with lovely overtones of lemon balm and fern, wonderfully cut by freshness with a pithy, zesty edge of lime and mainly pale lemon. The finish resembles lemon and yellow plum sorbet, exquisitely fresh and palate-cleansing, yet with exquisite sweetness. Incredibly fine, slender and so balanced. Drink 2028-2060.

    This youthful Mosel riesling Auslese has a vibrancy and precision that is often missing in these wines, blanketed by thick botrytis richness.

    Welcome to the peak of Mosel filigree in a category where most consumers only expect honeyed richness. Pure silk on the medium-bodied palate, where the great concentration slowly creeps up on you, building to a fantastic crescendo with a pink grapefruit freshness that’s unique in this category. You can drink it now, but then you will miss some of the greatness that’s still locked inside this treasure chest. Drink or hold.

    The 2023 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese Goldkapsel opens with a fleeting touch of mint oil before revealing a world of peachy suppleness and concentration, countered by lemon and tender, light-footed elegance. It unfolds with exquisite aromatic finesse. Yes, this is a Goldkapsel, but its lightness and purity are exquisite. So fine and bright with a lastingly zesty finish. Drink 2024-2070.

    One of the great Mosel Auslese masterpieces of modern times, this has all the floral splendor of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard site on the medium-bodied palate, through which an extremely delicate thread of floral honey flows. Then the exotic fruit aromas cascade over you at the extremely long and precise finish. Perfect balance makes this seem much less sweet than it really is. Limited production. Drink or hold.

    A plump and juicy GSM blend.

    A blend of 77% Grenache, 19% Shiraz and 4% Mourvedre. Dark red core with black shaded edges and a red hue. Black raspberry, liquorice and dark cherry aromas leap out of the glass followed by some scorched earth and peppered dried herb notes. Rich and juicy, the mid weighted palate is awash with black raspberry, liquorice and ripe dark cherry fruits. Opulently textured, it sees notions of scorched earth, subtle dried herbs and pepper unfold across the back half. Slightly chewy tannins lead into a long plump finish.

    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.

    Rich, dense and concentrated yet sculptured and fresh.

    Pitch black core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Intense black cherry, blackberry and liquorice aromas infused with blackpepper sail out of the glass followed by some toasty cedar, earth and meaty clove like notes. Rich, dense and concentrated a tidal wave of blackberry, liquorice and black cherry fruits engulf the mouth. Scorched earth, vanillin cedar and peppered dried meat elements ensue. Counterpointing the opulence of fruit is a youthful freshness. A polished yet sculptured tannin structure imparts some firmness onto the long deeply fruited conclusion.

    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. Screw cap.

    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.

    Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Colleccion Extra Anejo 100% Agave Tequila (700ml) - 38%
    Jalisco, MEXICO
    $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]
