    2023 Envinate Lousas Parcela Seoane Mencia
    Ribeira Sacra, SPAIN
    $165. 00
    Bottle
    $1980.00 Dozen
    ABV: 13.5%
    Closure: Cork

    Lousas is the name Envintate has given to their wines from Ribeira Sacra, translating to slate and a nod to the rock that marks these wines. Each of their Lousas releases are predominantly Mencia, along with a smaller component of various indigenous varieties such as Merenzao, Caino, Garnacha Tintorerra, and Palomino among many others.

    Vina de Aldea is a blend of several plots from the Amandi, Quiroga, and Ribeiras do Sil subregions of Ribeira Sacra. Doad meanwhile hails from different terroirs throughout the Galician town of Doade, is Mencia dominant with the remaining 15% a field blend of various varieties. Rosende is sourced from a single vineyard from a village of the same name, and the soils here are similar to the Northern Rhone with granite crystals flecked through the sand. Finally the single vinyard pair of Seoane and Camino Novo perched on the edge of the River Sil, each featuring vines over 80 years old. While similarly located these two are very different in style, Seoane being the more lifted, elegant and immediately attractive, whereas Camino Novo is more brooding and often one of the most profound Mencia in the area.

    Other Reviews....
    The 2023 Lousas Seoane has an intoxicating floral nose and seems to close in the glass. It's very young and tender, perfumed and primary. I think the field blend of red and white varieties brings nuance, perfume and detail (and possibly freshness too). It has pungent flavors and doesn't lack ripeness at 13.55% alcohol; this is the ripest of the single vineyards, a south/southwest-acing slope harvested the sixth of September. Like the rest of the single-vineyard wines, it was vinified with full clusters and indigenous yeasts, foot trodden in plastic bins, pressed with a vertical press and matured in neutral 228-, 400- and 500-liter barrels, including malolactic and without any added sulfur until bottling. This beauty is pure perfume. 1,960 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2024. Drink 2025-2033.

    2023 Curly Flat Pinot Noir
    Macedon Ranges, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
    Reduced from $84.99
    $74. 99
    Bottle
    $899.88 Dozen
    ABV: 12.5%
    Closure: Stelvin

    Curly Flat, nestled in the Macedon Ranges at 540 metres altitude, is renowned for producing exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from its 14.5-hectare vineyard. Established in 1989 and now solely owned by Jenifer Kolkka, the estate is committed to expressing its unique volcanic soils, cool climate and diverse clones through meticulous winemaking. With naturally high acidity and elegant structure, Curly Flat’s wines consistently showcase purity, precision and a strong sense of place.

    The 2023 season in Macedon Ranges was marked by a cool start, with the coldest spring on record slowing vine growth before a warm, rain-boosted January gave vineyards renewed vigour. February’s dry conditions encouraged flavour concentration, while a cool April ensured harvest at ideal ripeness. The result was fruit of precision and freshness, with lifted aromatics, vibrant acidity, and finely etched structure. This Estate Pinot Noir reflects eleven separate vineyard parcels, each handled to highlight their unique clonal and soil characters. Indigenous yeast ferments, varying levels of whole bunch, and selective oak use combine to create a wine of depth and complexity. Fragrant red fruits, darker savoury notes, and vineyard-driven tannins are seamlessly integrated. After 16 months’ maturation in French oak (20% new), the final blend was bottled unfined and unfiltered, offering clarity and site expression.

    Curly Flat Pinot Noir can be a bit surly in its youth and this release is of that ilk. It’s not a flashy pinot noir, let’s say. It tastes of cherries red and black with stringy herb and stewed strawberry notes. It’s firm through the finish and for now, takes a lot of coaxing to relax and extend. There’s a meatiness to this release, not overt but there. It’s a solid release for now but in time could well push higher. Drink 2027 - 2034+.

    Kilchoman 13 Year Old Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Islay, SCOTLAND
    $220. 00
    Bottle
    $2640.00 Dozen
    ABV: 50%

    2025 brings in Kilchoman's twentieth year. Ongoing success has seen to more growth. In fact, business is so good that production was doubled in 2019 to 650,000 litres per annum (for perspective, Springbank does slightly less than that). The distillery recently secured £22.5 million in funding to further expand its site and develop the brand globally. If that isn't enough, they've also announced planning permission for a rum distillery in Barbados.

    Despite celebrating its 20th anniversary, older Kilchomans remain rare. That's now changing. This 13 year old expression follows the release of a 16 year old in 2023 which marked their first official age statement. Matured in a combination of Bourbon barrels and octaves as well as Calvados casks, it's described as "Smokey but not too smokey, well balanced. Sea and salt is there, some fruit notes and wood. Overall well rounded whisky with good pear dominance". The producer's notes add aromas of fresh pineapple, hibiscus, and lemon sherbet, joined on the palate by dried apple granola, caramelised puffed wheat, buttered popcorn and peat smoke. Founder, Anthony Wills, comments, “After the overwhelming response to our 16-year-old, I’m excited to announce the release of another age statement Kilchoman: the 13-year-old. The ex-Bourbon casks make up a large part of the vatting, lending that unmistakable Kilchoman character, while the addition of Calvados casks, which may surprise a few people, infuses vibrant green apple and fresh fruit notes into the mix." 50% Alc./vol. Non chill filtered.

    Other reviews... Matured in bourbon barrels, octaves, and calvados casks, this has excellent balance on the nose with pear, star fruit, heather honey, summer blooms, sand dunes, and breezy peat smoke. An opulent mouthfeel with harmonious transitions between flavors, it shows syrupy orchard fruits, brioche loaf, peppery smoke, creamy almond, vanilla sponge, dried pear, and orange peel. A mouth-coating finish brings sweet honey, woodsmoke, and banana. No water needed. 92 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    ...The typical Kilchoman citrus, smoked bacon and hot mineral oil notes are immediately apparent. Smoked salmon, dried apricots and toasted grains are present as well. On the palate the smoke is more toned down than with younger expressions which is to be expected: instead there's subtle notes of granny smith apples and wholemeal bread. Finish is less ashy and more fruity than younger expressions. Good whisky? It sure is. does it appear more mature than the Machir bay or the Sainag? Definitely. But if that difference justifies the difference in price is up to you. At full retail price I would consider it much better value than almost any Diageo-Islay, but that doesn't say much. - whiskybase.com

    Rich yet texturally refined with a fresh feel to the long, elegantly creamed finish.

    Todd Dexter is probably best known for his work alongside Brian Stonier at Stonier wines where during his 10 year stint as chief winemaker the brand was propelled into Mornington Peninsula’s most famous label. Todd and his wife Debbie purchased a vineyard site in 1987 where they planted their first 1.6 hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir but it wasn’t until the mid 2000’s that the first wine was released under the Dexter label.
    Fermented and matured in 500 litre French oak puncheons (20% New, 30% second use, 50% older) with 50% of the blend undergoing malolactic fermentation. Brilliant pale straw colour with subtle highlights of green around the edges and a watery hue. Elevated white peach and nectarine scents complimented by some dried honey, cashew, biscuity nougat and spice notes drift through the nostrils.

    A wine of brightness and purity with precise varietal definition. Perfumed notes of blackcurrant and blackberry mingle with a little cherry and dark chocolate. The palate is exquisitely structured and presented. Only 10% new French oak and the rest seasoned where it spent 20 months. Seamlessly integrated palate delivered with poise and effortless, graceful lines. One of the best. Drink 2025-2045.

    Concentrated and powerful yet tightly wound with a long zingy finish.

    Since it’s establishment in 2009, winemaker John Hughes has in a very short period of time established RieslingFreak as one of the country's preeminent producers of the variety. Wine critic Mike Bennie describing it as ‘the definitive Riesling project in Australia.’ The 2025 vintage was one of meagre yields due to frost and lack of rainfall, however, the quality was remarkable delivering wines with terrific intensity of flavour and electric acidity.

Concentrated and powerful yet tightly wound, the zippy palate is flooded with lime, citrus and orange rind fruits which are sculptured by crisp, steely acidity.

    Fermented using a sour mash technique and Australian molasses derived from local sugarcane, this rum begins with a rich, full-bodied base that sets the stage for a deeply expressive profile. Time in charred Serbian Oak barrels develops depth and complexity—oak-driven warmth mingling with subtle tannins and toasted undertones. The final infusion of native Australian spices and botanicals adds a distinctively local twist, offering aromatic intrigue and a sense of place in every sip.

    Notes from the producers... Expect notes of brown sugar and sticky caramel, with lush dark fruits weaving through hints of aromatic spice. Whether savoured neat or with your favourite mixer, this rum is a refined take on a classic that is dangerously easy to drink and hard to forget.

    This is a good wine, and it’s good value. It’s a spicy, medium-weight style of shiraz, with a touch of positive reduction helping it along, with bell pepper and black pepper characters wedded to cherry-plum fruit. There’s also the merest whisper of musky vanilla, though oak is a low-impact player here. The tannin has a grainy, grunty aspect to it but then, it’s not overdone, and not dominant. There are no question marks here, everything is positive, though a slight warmth to the alcohol is the only thing you’d point to, if you were forced. It’s no real matter and besides, even at full price the value here is decidedly in the buyer’s favour. Drink 2025-2030.

    Dark purple hues with a ruby outer rim lead toa bouquet of ripeness and richness, aromas of dark berries and roasted plums, a dark raspberry almost jammy quality then smoky earth, a touch of boot polish wood smoke. Fleshy, fruity, varietal and dry on the palate. All the fruit scents turn into flavour on the palate set in a silky frame with fine polished tannins and medium+ acid line.

    Established in 1975, this little known estate is one Heathcote’s oldest and along with Jasper Hill and Mt Ida was one of the pioneering vineyards of the region. Further plantings were made in 1996, the dry grown vines from both vineyards now well established with deep roots in the mineral rich Cambrian soil. Winemaking is undertaken by the talented Mark Hunter from Sanguine Estate and maturation takes place in French oak barriques for a period of 18 months.

    Dense, powerful Heathcote Shiraz with lashings of black fruit framed by muscular tannins.

    Opens with spectacular colour density featuring a super saturated pitch black heart along with an equally deep dark red black hue. Heady aromas of ripe blackberry, liquorice and dark chocolate fill the nostrils with spicy vanillin cedar, fennel and peppered earth notes also chiming in. Rich, concentrated and dense the full bodied palate is engulfed with succulent blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits which are framed by a muscular tannin structure. Relatively stern yet opulent in it’s feel, earth, spicy vanillin cedar, subtle dark chocolate and blackpepper elements lend further nuance. Deep and powerful it finishes long and juicy yet robust.
    Cellar 6-8 years.

    Likely to be of a vintage that contains a portion of the Stitzel-Weller stocks, the dates certainly line up to have been distilled before the closure of the Shively, Louisville site in 1992. A rare opportunity indeed. The laser code on this bottle is: K3390808:35, indicating K - The bottling line, 339 - 339th day of the year, 08 - 2008, 08:35 - 8.35 am.

    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

    2015 Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Whiskey (700ml) - Batch B515
    Kentucky, UNITED STATES

    Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such may have some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

    Elijah Craig Barrel Proof – Batch B515 (2015) is one of the highest-proof releases in Heaven Hill’s bold and uncompromising Barrel Proof series, clocking in at a fiery 69.9% ABV (139.8 proof). Released as the second batch of 2015, this expression was among the earliest in the range to omit the 12-year age statement on the label — a significant shift that marked a new era for the series. Unlike Elijah Craig Small Batch, which is proofed down for consistency, each Barrel Proof batch is released uncut and non-chill-filtered, showcasing unique variations in strength and flavour.

    2015 Michter's Single Barrel 20 Year Old Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey (700ml)
    Kentucky, UNITED STATES
    $19999. 00

    ABV: 57.1%

    Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such may have some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

    Debuting in 2012 but not released every year, Michter's 20 year old is the second oldest age statement from the legendary distillery that has seen a meteoric rise in collectibility. Michter's state "While we regularly sample all our Michter's barrels to see how our whiskey is aging, we pay even extra special attention to our barrels once they are over 17 years old. At Michter's we consider 17 to 20 years the "Fork In The Road Point" when certain barrels of whiskey can achieve an extraordinary level of quality. It is these particular barrels that our Master Distiller Dan McKee personally selects for our very limited bottling of Michter's 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon."

    Although the exact provenance of these early Michter's releases remains undisclosed, bourbonculture.com comments, "2012 was a busy year for Michter’s. Work was in progress for both their Shively distillery, Fort Nelson location and the continual release of both highly aged whiskies from the barrels they sourced at Willett to the new whiskies that expanded their lineup.

    That’s why it was shocking to see a 20 year old bourbon being released. M20 would go on to be released every year (with the exception of 2017) in very limited amounts of bottles.

    2012’s bottling was labelled “Single Barrel” but was eventually changed to reflect it was a “small batch” in 2016 and beyond. It is widely speculated that the first single barrel of M20 contained Stitzel Weller inside. It may never be known how many more releases contained the holy grail of bourbon in it, but M20 continues to draw a large fan base each year."
    An interesting speculation that leads one to wonder what this 2015 release contains.

    The investment upside on these releases seems to have no limits at present. This is bottle 73 of 113 released from barrel L15I739, bottled at 57.1% Alc./Vol.

    The Albino Rocca 2021 Barbaresco Ronchi shows a dusty mineral quality that adds to the elegance of the bouquet. Beyond that, you get nicely ripened Nebbiolo fruit with wild cherry and redcurrant. It fleshes out over the palate with tart flavors and chalky tannins. Production is 9,000 bottles. Drink 2026-2040.

    Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

    The 2021 Barbaresco Ronchi comes across as a bit youthfully austere relative to some of the other wines in the range. Chalk, mint, white pepper, scorched earth and strong mineral notes infuse the Ronchi with tremendous power to match its sinewy, driving personality. This vivid, sculpted Barbaresco is hugely promising. Drink 2026-2036.

    A delicately fragrant expression of Cabernet Franc. There's a charming, silky start to the 2019 Les Poyeux , sitting pretty in the mouth. There's definite ripeness of fruit with a fondant-like softness on the mid-palate providing flesh, yet this wine remains light on its feet, focused and fresh. Aromatically lifted with a touch of balsamic, red cherry, blackberry, spice and black olive. The tannins have a tight pinch on the finish, perhaps caused by the year's drought or it may need more time...We'll see. Drink 2026-2040.

    Furneaux Distillery Untamed Gin (700ml)
    Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
    $84. 99
    Bottle
    $1019.88 Dozen
    ABV: 42%

    Ingredients include flowering kunzea, native rosemary, wild fennel and traditional gin botanicals. Creamy nose feel, suggests elderflower, citrus oils and juniper over early-root-like notes, lifted by white pepper and cardamom. Rounded, soft texture; impressive body with medium-dry flavours laced with pepper, citrus and herbal character. Finish sees a subtle anise freshness alongside juniper. Ends spicy, cleansing, minerally and wonderfully dry. Offers something different in a crowded category while remaining distinctively ‘ginny’ - which is no mean feat. 42% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... An excellent, well-considered use of botanicals, this gin presents cohesion between the aroma and palate. The somewhat restrained ABV is well-integrated and pleasant, allowing each flavour's nuance to be showcased and come through. This gin has two schools of flavour: the coastal, summer sea breeze quality and a warmer baked citrus quality. Both work in tandem to build an interesting, engaging and versatile spirit. These elements are not always harmonious. However, the heavier use of anise forward botanicals is a guiding flavour to effortlessly envelope and create a thoughtful & polished spirit. 94 points - Jess Clayfield, winecompanion.com.au

    Furneaux Distillery Flinders Island Peated Single Malt Australian Whisky (700ml)
    Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
    $220. 00
    Bottle
    $2640.00 Dozen
    ABV: 48.2%

    The beefiest whisky in the Furneaux line up opens with a nice co-mingling of sherry and malt on the nose. The peat is beautifully handled, of the cured meats and wood-smoke variety, executing a full-bodied dram that rolls about the mouth, barely suggesting the ABV; Sleek and sooty to finish, all so well controlled with the oily peat, light peppers and sweet barley extending the profile. Effortless and polished. Ardmore meets Caol Ila meets a new Tassie star. You can’t help but be impressed. 48.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

    Other reviews... Made with Tasmanian barley smoked post-malting with Flinders Island peat, the nose on this whisky is fascinating - almost like smoked chocolate - and like nothing I've ever smelled in a whisky before. Truly unique in a way that's rare in the world of whisky. Grassy and earthy aromas like freshly cut green capsicum are almost reminiscent of mezcal but without the underripe or volatile notes of a whisky bottled too young. There's enough oak and smoke here to round it out, along with lovely notes of maple syrup sweetness and orange zest, and the integration of oak and spirit is impressive. It's rare to have a smokey whisky that still smells so fresh, so that's ... refreshing. Powerful alcohol on the front palate dissipates quickly to a lovely roasted and candied macadamia nuttiness, and again the integration is impressive with a surprisingly easy, sweet finish. It could use more oiliness and texture to match the alcohol - it isn't a drink for those afraid of a little heat - but on the other hand, it's very drinkable for a whisky with so much power. Incredibly impressive for such a young distillery. Are there peated Scotch whiskies on the market that are better priced for similar quality? Yes. But this is a truly unique whisky made in a truly unique place without the backing of multinational corporations, and that's worth paying for. 96 points - Fred Siggins, winecompanion.com.au

    Furneaux Distillery Sawyers Bay Single Malt Australian Whisky (700ml)
    Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
    $199. 99
    Bottle
    $2399.88 Dozen
    ABV: 46.6%

    Probably intended as an after-dinner dram: Plump, but not confected, the port influence brings body to the bouquet with hints of dried cranberry; Same on the palate, the wine filling out the malt with a layer of richness. Poise is carefully considered - no excessive sugars here, just a lovely soft, fruity-malt vibe with a flurry of spices and fine tannins carrying the aftertaste - and despite the high ABV, this is (arguably) the most accessible of the current Furneaux lineup. 49.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

    Other reviews... This well-balanced single malt displays a lovely soft nose of fudgy, Christmas pudding, Aussie Apera and a delicacy that belies its youth. Maybe it's wishful imagination, but there's a note of coastal grass and rain on rocks that speaks to the island home, along with powerful notes of ripe fruits, melon and red apple in particular, a hallmark of good Aussie single malt in the same way it's a hallmark of good Aussie pale ale. This whisky has a lot in common with other Tassie whiskies, so it is very recognisable for its region, but with no rough edges hiding under the oak - an unfortunately common problem on the Apple Isle - which shows a deft hand in the stillhouse and a careful nose in the blending room. The palate is light and approachable, with a fresh apple and mild tannin on the finish, giving this whisky the gravitas that the lovely nose deserves. While lacking the complexity or texture to be truly exceptional, it's a prime example of what makes Aussie whisky great and something I'd be proud to show off to anyone in the world. At $200 a pop, it's not cheap, but given the genuine craft approach taken here, the price is justified. If this is the quality they're producing this early in the game, there are very good things ahead for Furneaux. 94 points - Fred Siggins, winecompanion.com.au

    Renais Gin (700ml)
    UNITED KINGDOM
    $109. 99
    Bottle
    $1319.88 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

    Short for 'Renaissance', Renais is the brainchild of Emma Watson, of Harry Potter fame, together with her brother Alex who works in the drinks industry. It begins with the grape skins left after pressing from their father's vineyard in Chablis. These, along with lees from the wine are distilled to produce a base spirit which is blended with "Kimmeridgian stone distillate", produced from an infusion of rocks from northern Burgundy. Add the necessary botanicals and you have a fresh, dry, juniper-led style. Tasters have also noted a distinctive minerality, typical of the Chablis region's wines. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Renais is a luxury gin brand in the UK that’s so fancy they released a limited edition bottle featuring artwork from Emma Watson. On a recent trip to London the brand was kind enough to send me a sample of the gin — in the boring old normal person bottle, mind you — which I dutifully carted back to the U.S. for review. As far as I can tell it isn’t available on our shores. Renais is made as an homage to Burgundy in France, distilled from salvaged Grand Cru grape skins collected after being pressed to make wine. Botanicals include (but may not be limited to) juniper, grains of paradise, linden flowers, and acacia honey. Golden yellow in color, the gin has the appearance of a cocktail that’s ready to drink, but the nose is classic London dry — heavy, biting juniper with a sultry angelica earthiness underneath. It’s very peppery with mild notes of anise and less distinct florals, largely dried, to wind things up. On the palate, the gin is a powerhouse. Fans of modern, more gossamer gins will laugh in the face of Renais. Powerful notes of juniper, rosemary, and thyme give the gin an immediate punch of green herbs, as piney as a walk amongst the evergreens can be. The drinker is in for some surprises, however, as a brisk citrus quality soon becomes clear, followed by a growing, insistent sweetness. The acacia honey in the mix is no joke, providing a soothing backbone against which the aggressive herbal notes can find some rest. The finish is lightly sweet and tinged with florals again, making for a spirit that is delightful on its own but also a natural companion with tonic. - drinkhacker.com

    Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product shown.

    'Standing Stone', or ‘Camas an Staca’ in Gaelic, takes its name from the largest of Jura’s eight standing stones. Known as ‘The Bay of the Protecting Rocks’, this imposing 12 foot obelisk is reputedly all that remains of a stone circle laid some 3,000 years ago by the earliest Diurachs to appease the spirits. The iconic Jura bottle is presented in a beautiful display case that opens its doors to reveal the story of the whisky. Meticulously detailed, the bottle is in-filled with copper wax with a matching metal plaque. 44% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... The latest addition to the Jura range has been matured in American white oak casks before spending three years in Gonzalez Byass oloroso sherry butts. The mellow nose is lightly oily, with figs, sherry, orange, and a savory note. Vanilla emerges, along with malt, and finally a hint of cinnamon and parma violets. Soft and supple on the palate, with more orange, plus cocoa, sultanas, and dates. The finish is lengthy and features dark chocolate, raisins, aniseed, and subtle spices. 89 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    This baby was finished in Oloroso sherry casks from Gonzalez Byass'. The funny name means standing stone. Colour: apricoty, almost pink. Nose: starts on frankly vinous notes, its not that it’s unpleasant, it’s just a little excessive. The good news is that all that would just go away after a few seconds, leaving more room for a complex range of citrus fruits, both dried and fresh. Oranges are very obvious, then rather citrons. Touches of baklavas, orange blossom, pomegranates, then more cigars, raisins, chocolate and just a little leather as well as a few floral notes, mainly peonies. All that is rather smooth and easy-going, although more mineral notes do rise after a few minutes. Graphite oil? Mouth: excellent attack, quite old style, with a fruitiness that reminds me of both old Bowmores and Benriach, although this one is soon to become a little drier and slightly chalky. Also a little chlorophyll and this leather from the sherry. Walnuts. Touches of salt. Finish: medium long, even drier now, the fruits have almost vanished and it all gets quite tea-ish and cigary. Cinnamon and nutmeg in the aftertaste as well as a little smoke. Fino sherry or vin jaune. Comments: very high quality but I feel the dry sherry is sometimes overwhelming ‘in the background’, with its, well, dryness. Otherwise it would have been 90+ material. 87 points - whiskyfun.com

    Compass Box The Peat Monster Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    SCOTLAND
    $144. 99
    Bottle
    $1739.88 Dozen
    ABV: 46%

    Compass Box is a specialist company started in 2000 devoted to making some of Scotland's most unique whiskies through the art of blending. Similar to fine wine negociants, they choose individual casks from different distilleries that offer complementary sets of flavours. They then carefully blend these casks in small batches to make proprietary malt whiskies, grain whiskies, and malt & grain blends from distilleries across Scotland. Compass Box is also renowned for having (arguably) the industry’s highest quality standards for oak cask selection. When one considers that oak is responsible for up to 70% of the flavour of a mature whisky, one understands their mania. Only 100% American oak is used (predominantly first-fill casks). The colour of all the Compass Box whiskies is the natural colour of the whiskies from the casks. No caramel is added. The whiskies are also not chill filtered (a cosmetic process which strips flavour and texture from the whisky). As founder, John Glaser says, “Hazy whisky is a good sign that the whisky maker wants you to taste everything the whisky has to offer.” These are indeed alluring whiskies for the free-thinking enthusiast.

    Peat Monster, like all vatted malts, is made by marrying 100% single malt whiskies from different distilleries, including lead distilleries like Ardmore, Caol ila and Laphroaig (they might change over time). Components are aged between 10-15 years, however. we're informed that the recipe has evolved to include older and more elegant Islay malts since 2019. This is a fantastic late-night whisky that also works beautifully in a classic Scotch whisky Highball.

    Other reviews... The formula for this whisky has changed slightly since its inception -- and I think for the better. They've added some Laphroaig into the mix of Caol Ila and Ardmore. This whisky demonstrates the layered complexity that can be achieved by marrying whisky from different distilleries and different regions. I particularly enjoy the rich maltiness and oily texture that provide firm bedding and flavor contrast to the classic Islay notes: tar, boat docks, brine, smoked olive, seaweed, and kiln ash. More subtle cracked peppercorn, mustard seed, and citrus fruit add complexity. Long, warming finish. Amazing how a small change in composition can significantly benefit the overall flavor profile of a whisky. 94 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    Pale golden color. Sweet clover honey, heather, and peat aromas. A soft, yet rich, entry leads to a sweetish medium-full body with caramel, orange peel, raw honey, toast, vibrant peat and pepper flavors. Finishes with a honeycomb, iodine, and toasty grain fade. Very drinkable, exquisitely balanced, and approachable with vibrant, but (despite the name) not dominant peatiness. 46% Alc./Vol.

    Bottle
    $2640.00 Dozen
    ABV: 46.5%

    Just a few degrees lower in alcohol makes this feel considerably lighter compared to the Peated Double Oak; Easy-going without lacking depth, here Furneaux’s distillate is a little closer to centre stage, the malt glazed with a lovely oily texture from the peat. Some maritime character adds interest, with active x-Bourbon wood in support. Match it against any 12 year old Scotch. Remarkably good at such a young age. 46.5% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

    Notes from the producers... A combination of Flinders Island coastal peated malt and Scottish peated malt makes up the mash bill in this inimitable whisky. Matured in ex Heaven Hill and Makers Mark Bourbon casks. Salty caramel and cacao on the nose with soft citrus. ​ Peat and sweetness pops on the front palate like a smoky candy pearl. ​ Rich and balanced with great texture, the Scottish peat influence bring a chewy, iodine sweetness, while our Flinders peat lengthens the finish with a soft earthy aromatic smoke.

    Bottle
    $1175.88 Dozen
    ABV: 58%

    The nose shows early evidence of drier styled juniper and an appealing earthy/stony mineral quality accompanied by rosemary and white pepper heat; later inhalations are herbal-fresh, deepening and intensifying with citrus oils and crushed pine buds. Entry is creamy, deceptively soft; mid-palate flavours build with an oily texture and a slow crescendo that sees the earthy-root elements take flight alongside bursts of pepper, fresh grapefruit, orange zest and sustained juniper. Fades cleansing, long, earthy and complex. 58% Alc./vol.

    Notes from the producers... A unique representation of the flavours that the Daylesford region provides - a vibrant gin, opening with a gentle herbal bouquet and introducing grassy-leafy spiciness upfront. Infused with marmalade, citrus, and juniper notes, the palate unfolds with a harmonious blend of sweet and savoury spices, with citrus essence lingering gracefully through the finish.

    Concentrated yet refined with a long, elegant conclusion.

    Still family owned and operated, this small Coonawarra vineyard has been evolving over the past 40+ years and now involves their daughter, Emma who has taken on the winemaking role whilst Doug is looking after the viticultural side of things. The Estate consists of 33 hectares of vines planted on the prized Coonawarra Terra Rosa soils. Established in 1972, the first vintage in 1975 was greeted with considerable enthusiasm.

    Midnight black heart with a dark red black tinged hue. Elevated ripe red to black currant and red liquorice aromas engulf the nostrils followed by hints of mulberry, dusty vanillin cedar and bay leaf. Rich red to black currant, red liquorice and mulberry fruits are layered across the mid weighted palate. Concentrated yet refined in its feel, notions of spicy vanillin cedar, dusty earth and bay leaf are spread across the back half. Beautiful tannin integration with a long, elegant conclusion.
    Drink over the next 5-6 years.

    Ripe, fleshy mid weighted Tassie Pinot.

    Nick Glaetzer began his winemaking journey with his family in the Barossa Valley, following with vintages in the Languedoc, the Pfalz, Margaret River, the Riverland, Sunraysia, the Hunter Valley and Burgundy. In 2005 Nick landed in Tasmania, searching for cool-climate, super-premium vineyards; perfect for crafting Pinot Noir, Riesling and savoury Shiraz. The concept behind his Avance Pinot came from Nick’s experience working and travelling through many winemaking regions on the European Continent which gave him an insight into the lighter wine styles, keenly sought after by the local village people for their fresh fruit driven flavours.

    Deep dark red black tinged core with a dark red hue. Expressive dark cherry, anise and plum aromas evolve from the glass with some dried herb, earthy incense and spice notes also evident. Juicy dark to black cherry and anise flavours are layered across the mid weighted palate. Plum, earthy incense and spicy dried herb elements sit in the background. Ripe, sturdy tannin structure finishing spicy and fleshy textured.

    A searingly tense and zesty Riesling.

    Brilliant water like colour with a faint greenish tinge around the outskirts. Jumping out of the glass are lemon and lime scents trailed by some orange rind, talc and chalky mineral notes. Shimmering acidity lends a tight steely feel to the palate with lemon, lime and Granny Smith apple fruits to the fore. Wet steel, flint and chalky mineral elements line the back half. Dry and chiselled, it finishes searingly tense and zesty.
    Drink over the next 6-8 years.

    Fresh and tightly wound, with aromas of lime zest, green apples, guavas, talc, gun smoke and white flowers. The palate is full of drive and precision, showing bright acidity with lemon pith, crushed stones and a hint of jasmine. Linear and focused, with a long, mineral-edged finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

    Mid weighted and elegant with juicy blue to dark fruits.

    Deep dark red black tinged colour with a red purple hue. Fragrant dark plum, blueberry and liquorice aromas intermix with hints of dried herbs and vanillin spice. Juicy blueberry and plum fruits drive the elegant mid weighted palate with subtle red liquorice, dried herb, earth and spice elements ensuing.

    Three varieties that go together so well, especially if the result is this juicy and appealing drink. Lots of enticing aromatics from musk, sarsaparilla and red berries. The mid-weighted palate follows suit with more woodsy spices, licorice and a flood of sweet fruit. Very satisfying and a brilliant price, too. Drink by 2030.

    2024 Chateau Margaux Pre-Arrival Offer
    Margaux, Bordeaux, FRANCE
    $899. 00
    Bottle
    $10788.00 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    Chateau Margaux has an impressive history of producing the best wines of Bordeaux, with winemaking on the property dating back to the 12th century. In the 1700’s Thomas Jefferson included Margaux in his list of the greatest four wines of Bordeaux, and this was later vindicated when Chateau Margaux was awarded First Growth status in the 1855 Classification. Traditional in style, Chateau Margaux is a wine of finesse and purity, but also one with richness and aromatic complexity, with an enviable history of cellaring potential. Vineyards are planted to 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, while the final blend normally uses around 85% Cabernet Sauvignon.

    Other Reviews....
    The 2024 Château Margaux has turned out beautifully, unfurling in the glass with notes of cassis, violets, cigar box and iris. Medium to full-bodied, deep and vibrant, with excellent density and concentration for the vintage, it's lively and layered, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. This is a serious, youthfully tightly wound blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc that attained 12.8% alcohol.
    93-95 points
    William Kelley - Wine Advocate

    Representing 46% of the total crop (a little higher than recent years due to higher yields in the best Cabernet blocks), the 2024 Château Margaux contains slightly less Merlot (5%). It has a sophisticated bouquet in the context of the growing season, with black fruit, pressed violet and hints of pencil box that almost lend a Pauillac-like allure. Very fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and modest depth. This is clearly a leaner Château Margaux compared to, say, the 2020 or 2022, but it is razor-sharp with superb tension and mineralité. Unapologetically classic in style with modest length, this noble First Growth will benefit from four to five years in bottle. Drink 2030-2055.
    94-96 points
    Neal Martin - Vinous

    The 2024 Château Margaux is quite soft and delicate. It shows fine delineation in its aromatics and on the palate, but it's distinctly on the lighter side, even for Château Margaux. The mid-palate and finish are a touch compact, while there is a bit of edginess in the tannins that needs time to resolve. Bright acids and the lack of fruit pliancy expose the tannins at this stage. Élevage will be everything. Château Margaux is a bit of a question mark. Drink 2034-2054.

    Antonio Galloni - Vinous

    Really impressive depth, concentration and perfume this year, with fine tannins. Lots of violets, red flowers, black cherries and currants. Full-bodied and seriously structured, with impeccable freshness and a very long finish. Dense and powerful for the vintage, with tension, vibrations, good concentration and a tannin framework. 93% cabernet sauvignon, 5% merlot, 1% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot.
    97-98 points
    Zekun Shuai - JamesSuckling.com

    Based on 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Château Margaux is similarly deep purple-hued, with a more inward, closed, yet impressive style. Crème de cassis, graphite, spring flowers, and subtle spicy nuances all define the aromatics. It's medium-bodied with a concentrated, ripe, layered mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and nicely integrated background oak. It's going to need time, but this is unquestionably a beautiful, elegant Margaux. The 2024 is 12.8% alcohol with a pH of 3.62.

    Jeb Dunnuck

    A tremendous effort from Margaux in 2024. Fragrant Cabernet notes on the nose, blackcurrant leaf, blackcurrants, cherries, some tobacco touches, dark fruits with aromatic nuances on the nose. Wild flower meadows with ripe cherries and blackcurrants. Glossy and so smooth, incredibly well textured, not demonstrative, this is sleek and like layers of silk on top of each other, a glossy feel and so confident. Blue cherry, cola, crushed blueberries, salty touches, liquorice and dark chocolate - everything balanced. Beautiful, this is just what you expect from Margaux, precision and perfection with a lively acidity and crushed stone chalkiness on the finish. 1% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. 13% press wine. 46% grand vin production. Drink 2032 - 2048.

    2021 Isole e Olena Cepparello
    Tuscany, ITALY
    $250. 00
    Bottle
    $3000.00 Dozen
    Cellar: 8 - 10 Years (2033-2035)
    ABV: 15%
    Closure: Stelvin

    An exceptionally powerful Sangiovese with energetic red fruit sculptured by chiselled tannins and lively acidity.

    In the 1950s, the father of current winemaker Paolo de Marchi purchased the adjoining hamlets of Isole and Olena and their estates in the Tuscan commune of Barberino Val d'Elsa. Paolo entered the business in 1976 and the quality of the estate’s wines improved rapidly after decades of sharecropping. Paolo de Marchi is one of the region's kings of the Sangiovese grape and at a time when Chianti was a blended wine it was, he that stepped out to produce wines that were 100% Sangiovese. Cepparello is the true embodiment of a ‘Super Tuscan’ wine and one of Italy's most iconic wines.

    Deep dark red black in colour with a dark red hue. The aromatically gorgeous nose is blessed with a kaleidoscope of red to dark currant, dark cherry, red liquorice and violet scents. Dried herb, subtle tobacco, earth and spice notes lend further nuance. Delicious, energetic red to dark cherry, red currant and red liquorice fruits are sculptured by chiselled tannins and lively acidity. Exceptionally powerful, it has a tense, muscular feel with the back half complexed by notions of dried herbs, tobacco, earth and spice. Finishes fresh and slightly grippy with outstanding length.
    Cellar 8-10 years.

    Intense and floral wine, full of restrained aromas, such as potpourri, together with vibrant red cherries, licorice, bergamot and lightly balsamic depth. The firm tannins and full body provide a velvety and extracted texture. Powerful wine, yet tight-knit and super polished. Refreshing with a tense, fruity finish. Super classic. Drink or hold.

    One of Tuscany's flagship wines, the Isole e Olena 2021 Cepparello immediately delivers ripe fruit flavors that are firm, even crunchy, and that bodes well for the future evolution of this classic vintage. The wine is packed with tart fruit flavors followed by balanced acidity. Compared to past vintages that are more extracted and dense, this edition is delightfully bright and transparent. I appreciation the age-worthy direction Cepparello is taking. Drink 2025-2048.

    Monica Larner – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

    Plum, cherry and pomegranate fruit is framed by toasty oak and mineral flavors in this lively and succulent red, which offers plenty of energy, with elements of tar and oak on the persistent finish. Shows fine balance, with the dense tannins leaving room for the fruit in the end. Needs time. Sangiovese. Best from 2027 through 2043.

    Mid weighted with ample richness, a sturdy structure and elegant conclusion.

    The founder, the highly inventive, industrious and resourceful Frank Potts (1815 - 1890), to whom this wine is dedicated, was a 19th century genius, and a pioneer who has been described as being “made of the right stuff and well worthy of the grand old land that gave him birth.” He arrived in Australia as a 21 year old, having set sail from Plymouth England, and landing late in 1836. By the 1860’s, he had planted the original 30 acres of vineyard on the banks of the Bremmer Creek. Potts was highly admired - “One meets with extraordinary characters through life, but I doubt whether his equal could be found. In appearance a stranger would take him to be a poor labourer, with a thin, spare figure and long unkempt hair and invariably wearing his shirt sleeves tucked up. Although a most uncouth-looking person, and yet this man is a perfect genius! There is not a single thing mechanical or otherwise undertaken by him which he does not succeed in...” So remarked Inspector Tolmer, who was later to become Commissioner of Police, South Australia. Frank was one of the first to recognise the benefits of red gum. After building several houses for himself, he made tools and a bullock dray to cut down and haul these massive timbers in order to construct a gigantic twin wine press and several enormous wine vats. He also created the irrigation system that's still in place today. What little spare time he might have had was spent building a piano and various race winning yachts!

    A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Malbec, 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Merlot with maturation taking place in French oak puncheons and hogsheads (25% new) for a period of 12 months. Pitch black heart with a dark red black tinged hue. Pronounced red currant, red liquorice and red plum aromas intermix with hints of mulberry, dusty vanillin cedar, subtle tobacco and bay leaf. Flowing across the mid weighted palate with ample richness are red currant, red liquorice and mulberry fruits complimented by dusty earth, vanillin cedar, spicy tobacco and infusions of bay leaf. Slightly chalky, fine grained tannins lend a sturdy structure. Long elegant conclusion.
    Drink over the next 6-8 years.

    Cabernet sauvignon (72%), malbec (18%), petit verdot (6%) and merlot (4%), aged for 12 months in French oak, 25% new. Salt and pepper, blueberry and blackcurrant, cloves and minerally/ferrous characters. This is a seriously good wine. It's characterful, balanced, lengthy and interesting, its dark-berried fruit flavours sunk deep into the palate, its freshness maintained, and its finish as convincing as everything that came before. Drink by 2040.
