Itinerant Spirits Gallivanter Wild Botanical Gin (700ml)

Ballarat, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$74. 99
Bottle
$899.88 Dozen

ABV: 42%

Weighs in at just above 40% ABV but delivers a generous gin bouquet of mixed citrus, dried herbs (tarragon, sage?) followed by crushed pine buds and bush pepper. Creamy, accessible entry develops to a medium to full bodied middle, repeating those piney-juniper accents with spikes of pepper and a vibrant lemon-thyme finish. Lots of personality on its own, this should equally lend itself to mixing. 42% Alc./Vol. Batch #5 tasted.
Notes from the producers... A juniper-forward gin with big citrus hits of creamy lemon, mandarin, and grapefruit up front are rounded out with aromatic pepper. Fresh citrus notes from the inclusion of Lemon Drop Wax foraged from the Grampians region is balanced with sweetness and warm spice, giving this gin a well-rounded mouthfeel and smooth after taste.

Ron Santiago De Cuba Carta Blanca Rum (700ml)

CUBA
$72. 99
Bottle
$875.88 Dozen

ABV: 38%

Until now, the Cuban rum category in Australia has been limited to Havana Club. Santiago de Cuba breaks the drought with three new lines. Named after the city of Santiago and boasting over 160 years of distilling experience, Cuba Ron's rum making tradition is unrivalled on the island. Their portfolio starts with the Carta Blanca, a three year old spirit intended primarily as a mixer, offering a balance of a light sweetness with a dry finish. 38% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... A typically characterful Cuban light rum with pleasing grassy, vanilla and leathery notes. 4.5 stars - diffordsguide.com
...Despite the plus points to this rum I still feel that overall it is all just a little bit to light and to clean. The only real evidence of “rum” comes in the finish which is slightly leathery with a note of tobacco. I really enjoy more fruity white rums such as Chairman’s Reserve White Label and Appleton Special. This is probably handy for a bartender needing a more easy going rum. From my perspective though it is very average. 2 Stars - thefatrumpirate.com

Ron Santiago De Cuba 11 Year Anejo Old Rum (700ml)

CUBA
$124. 99
Bottle
$1499.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

A big age statement for Cuban Rum, Ron Santiago's Extra Añejo 11 year old blends the sweetness of sugarcane molasses grown in the Oriente province in the South East of the island with the skillful touch of the Maestros del Ron Cubano. Aged in white oak, there's a nice balance of mature notes including estery tropical fruits, coconut, delicate vanilla and almond, with the sweetness perfectly balanced by moderate spices. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... If you are looking to explore the “lighter” side of rum. I would recommend this as a sipper. It’s quite easy going but at the same time has enough going on to remain interesting. The balance of this rum is really good... Sure this works great in things like an Old Fashioned but I think its best enjoyed on its own. 4 stars - the fatrumpirate.com

2022 Il Marroneto Ignaccio Rosso di Montalcino

Tuscany, ITALY
$135. 00
Bottle
$1620.00 Dozen

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Cork

Il Marroneto produce some of the purest and most perfumed expressions of Sangiovese made anywhere. Part of the secret lies in their prime location within Brunello's traditional top class territory, situated at 450m above sea level with a cool northern exposure. Combined with the much lauded talents of gifted winemaker Alessandro Mori, and it's clear to see why Il Marroneto are so highly coveted by Brunello fans worldwide.
Alessandro Mori has always adopted a traditional approach, aiming for elegance and purity, without sacrificing depth or impact in his wines. Organic practices have been used in the vineyards since 1988, while natural fermentation occurs and there is neither fining nor filtration before bottling.
Other Reviews....
Alessandro Mori did not have a Rosso vineyard, so he cobbled together vines from declassified Brunello and leased land (measuring 7,000 square meters) to provide the fruit for this wine. The Il Marroneto 2022 Rosso di Montalcino Ignaccio is underlined by brightness and freshness with forest berry fruits, blue flower and navel orange. Harvest in 2022 started early on September 20th, compared to September 24th in 2020 and much later in 2019 on October 5th. Drink 2025-2038.
93 points
Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Rosso di Montalcino Ignaccio is exotic with a seductive blend of spiced blood orange, wild strawberries, rose petals and a dusting of spice. Juicy and vividly fresh, it sweeps across the palate with ripe raspberry and cherry-berry fruits while taking on a coating of chalky minerality toward the close. Sour citrus enlivens the experience as this finishes long and staining yet still remarkably fresh. The mouth waters for more under an air of violet inner florals. Simply spellbinding. This is already a total pleasure, yet it has the balance for short-term cellaring. Due to the changes in the Rosso di Montalcino regulations, Il Marroneto will be able to use another hectare, originally planted for IGT Sangiovese, in their Rosso in the coming vintages, which means more of this glorious juice to go around. Drink 2024-2032.

Eric Guido - Vinous
A scented red full of intoxicating aromas of sweet violets, cinnamon, smoke, woodland, slate, minerals and orange peel. Crisp, exuberant acidity on the palate with velvety tannins and a chalky, medium- to full-bodied and polished finish. Drink or hold.

James Suckling
A really perfumed, floral expression of Sangiovese, with plenty of lavender, violet and garrigue. Grippy and dusty tannins clamp the palate, with the promise of some delicious juiciness in time. Sturdy yet finessed, earthy wild berries and pomegranate mingle with bitter herbs and spice, then a fresh, saline finish with glimpses of spice and blood orange. Drink 2025-2030.

Other Reviews....
Alessandro Mori makes two Rosso di Montalcino wines, and the difference between them comes down to the selection of barrels used in the final blend. The Il Marroneto 2022 Rosso di Montalcino Iacopo has a special story because Alessandro asked his son Iacopo to choose the one barrel that becomes this wine. That process was initiated in 2019 and has been the impetus for this wine ever since. With that first vintage, Iacopo selected a barrel with a slightly darker-colored wine, lots of blackcurrant intensity and a textural profile that veers more toward Brunello than it does Rosso. He has looked to re-create those characteristics in all the vintages to follow. This is a ramped-up expression of Sangiovese with energy, youthful fruit, cassis and blood orange. Drink 2025-2038.

Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deeply complex, the 2022 Rosso di Montalcino Iacopo wafts up with a cascade of rose petals, incense, cinnamon sticks, spiced citrus rinds and dried black cherries. This is silken in texture with depths of dark red berry fruits that saturate, underscored by saline minerals and spice, all guided by a core of brilliant acidity. The 2022 finishes with tremendous length and a crunchy feel, leaving gripping tannins that tug at the palate. This truly deserves the title of Baby Brunello. What an absolutely stunning wine. The Iacopo is produced from one declassified barrel of Brunello fruit. Drink 2026-2034.

Eric Guido - Vinous
A deep, complex, layered wine with aromas of dark cherries, blood oranges, wax, smoke, woodland and tea leaves. Full-bodied with crisp, austere acidity, assertive blood orange flavors and velvety tannins soaked with fruit. Drink or hold.

James Suckling
A cask selection made by Alessandro's son, Iacopo, who says it ‘aims for the complexity and depth of a Brunello’. It shows more amplitude than Ignaccio, with depths of dark cherry fruit with some earth, spice and cream, and peaks of really bright and zesty blood orange, and floral overtones. Lovely freshness and impressive complexity. Drink 2026-2034.

Other Reviews....
The Il Marroneto 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of special depth and elegance. Alessandro Mori tells me that fermentation in 2020 proceeded nicely with what he describes as a "primordial stew" of grape must, resulting in high pressure "geysers" or "liquid bombs" that rip right through the cap because of pressure build-up. Someone is having tons of fun in the winery. High temperatures (between 36 to 38 degrees Celsius) serve to fix the wine's ruby color and the elegance of its perfumes, which are more floral than fruity. At the end of fermentation, he manages the skins with light wetting by hand with a tube. This vintage offers softness and a silky texture that feels glossy to the palate. Drink 2026-2048.
96 points
Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is an understated beauty, slowly emerging with a delicate blend of rose petals, fresh mint, crushed rocks and vividly ripe black cherries. It hovers across the palate, lifted and finessed yet spry, with ripe red berry fruits and hints of lavender, taking on a liquid floral concentration toward the close. Pleasantly chewy and long, the 2020 leaves the senses stained in primary concentration, with a tinge of bitter cranberry and pretty inner florals that resonate over a bed of classically dry tannins. This is a more concentrated and intense yet wonderfully balanced rendition of Il Marroneto's Brunello. Drink 2028-2038.

Eric Guido - Vinous
A restrained wine that’s complex and deep, with aromas of cherry stones, butter, fresh violets, orange peel and prunes. Firm tannins with a grainy texture, yet it has a sweet finish, super-energetic acidity and a full body. Flavors of blood oranges and violets. Perfect balance and incredible aging potential. A super classic. Drink or hold.

James Suckling
‘I'd never seen the green [of the vegetation] like that before’, remarks Alessandro Mori of 2020, putting the vibrancy of the colour down to less pollution as the population remained in their homes. Calling 2020 an easy vintage, much like 2016, the estate now practices accapamento – a ‘wall’ of leaves which act to shade the bunches and also take up some resources, causing the vine to struggle slightly more. There's great freshness here, with coiled potency of vibrant plum and sour and dark cherry at the ripe core. A lick of salinity and a brush of wood accompany silky tannins. One of very few 2020s I have tasted which may be an improvement on the stunning 2019s. Time will tell. Drink 2026-2040.

2020 Il Marroneto Madonna delle Grazie Brunello di Montalcino

Other Reviews....
The Il Marroneto 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie (tasted once in the winery and again in my office) is another classical expression of Sangiovese from vintner Alessandro Mori and his son Iacopo. This vintage is best described as more charming compared to the stacked 2019 vintage or the powerful 2016 edition. This is a very pretty wine, elegant and finessed, with pretty floral highlights of rose and violet that lean into a subtle menthol note. There is caramelized sugar and candied orange. The wine lives in oak for 46 months with just a brief time in steel before going into bottle (at the end of July 2024). This vintage is a little closed or tight in terms of mouthfeel, which suggests it needs more time in bottle to spread its wings. Drink 2027-2055.

Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The undeniably elegant 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie is amazingly fresh and vibrant on the nose, cascading from the glass with a burst of crushed cherries, rose petals, blood oranges and cloves. This displays exceptional elegance and grace, soothing the palate with its silken feel and ripe red and blue fruits. Hints of sour citrus add contrast, a mix of iron-borne minerals and fine tannins that mount toward the close. A saturation of primary concentration remains, offset by residual acidity as this finishes structured and impossibly long, leaving a sour cherry tinge and masses of violet pastille. The 2020 is a showboat yet complex and harmonious from start to finish. It's easily one of the absolute top wines of the vintage. Drink 2028-2042.
98 points
Eric Guido - Vinous
An exquisite mix of elegant aromas dominates the nose, with notes of Parma violets, orange peel, Earl Grey tea, dried cherries, smoky woodland and earthy minerality. Full-bodied, it shows significant tannins, but it’s velvety, sweet and full of aging potential. The flavors are enhanced by energetic, slightly lifted acidity and a super-long, austere finish. It will last for decades. Try after 2025.

James Suckling
This single-vineyard Brunello is one of the gems of the denomination. The 2020 reflects the vintage conditions wonderfully, trading in the generosity of 2019 for a more structured and thought-provoking wine. ‘2015 and '16 is like '19 and '20 – the exact same combination’, comments Alessandro Mori. Fragrantly perfumed with potpourri and a hint of spice, it's a bright and vital Sangiovese of impeccable precision and poise. Its youthful creaminess supports freshly picked blackberry, intense dark cherry and some sotto bosco notes, with a streak of salinity and some floral uplift to counterpoint its framework of silky, structural tannins and vertical shape. While less immediately striking than the 2019 was at the same stage, this may shine even brighter in the years to come. Drink 2026-2050.

2022 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Fremiet Premier Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$430. 00
Bottle
$5160.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
Aromas of kirsch, black raspberry, anise and plenty of spice nuances are trimmed in just enough oak to notice. The suave, palate coating and solidly concentrated flavors possess a richer and more generous mouthfeel where equally fine-grained tannins shape the less mineral-driven but slightly longer finish. In the context of what is typical, this is a relatively powerful Frémiets that is very much built to repay extended keeping. Drink through 2034+.
92-94 points
Allen Meadows - Burghound
Offering up aromas of raspberries, plums, sweet spices and petals, the 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Fremiet is medium to full-bodied, pure and lively, with refined, powdery tannins and a fine-boned, elegant profile.
91-93 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Volnay Fremiet 1er Cru has more depth and fruit concentration compared to the Clos des Angles. The nose displays a mélange of red and black fruit, pressed flowers and a touch of loam aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, just a slight lactic note on the entry, segueing into a more marine-tinged latter half. A pinch of black pepper appears toward the finish. Give this two or three years in bottle. Drink 2026-2042.
93 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
Although the vines for this Fremiets are very close to those for the Clos des Angles bottling, the style is very different – it is much more mineral, almost salty, with bright black fruit, notes of violets and spice, and a texture with abundant tannic grip and an almost chewy feel. The domaine farms nearly 1.6 hectares on the steeper slopes with shallow soils. Although it is not as reserved as the Clos des Ducs, this would benefit from five years of age before opening. Drink 2025 - 2050.
95 points
Charles Curtis MW - Decanter
Mid crimson purple. The vineyard is just above Clos des Angles, and bears some similarity on the nose. However, the fruit is a little deeper, and darker on the palate, good acidity here, just a little more structure all round. Drink from 2030-2037.

2022 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Champans Premier Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$530. 00
Bottle
$6360.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
A restrained and intensely floral-suffused nose is reticent to the point of being brooding and only grudgingly provides glimpses of fresh dark berries and spice whiffs. The precise, highly energetic and super-fine middleweight flavors also exude evident minerality on the moderately austere and equally long finale. I almost always prefer the d'Angerville Taillepieds to their Champans but that could well change in 2022 as this is outstanding. Drink through 2034+.
93-95 points
Allen Meadows - Burghound
The 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Champans offers up aromas of dark berries, licorice, grilled squab, spices and vine smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered palate with a sweet core of fruit framed by powdery tannins that assert themselves on the discreetly carnal finish.
91-93 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru has a pixelated bouquet with that mélange of red and black fruit that I noticed before. It's perfumed with hints of potpourri and lovely sous-bois/mossy scents in the background. The palate is medium-bodied, with a little crunch on the entry. It's a more structured Champans than I am accustomed to; perhaps the tannins are a bit firmer and less silky in texture at the moment. This will need more time to knit together than d'Angerville's other cuvées. Drink 2028-2048.
94 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
This monumental wine is, as always, a reference for the appellation. In 2022, there is a lovely density of plum and blackberry fruit with spice and earth notes. The texture is plump, velvety and long, with supple tannins supporting the wine without adding astringency. D'Angerville destems and gave the grapes a cold soak before fermentation on native yeasts and ageing in cask (mainly used) to preserve the limpid purity of the fruit. Give this wine five years before opening, and it should continue to improve for at least 30 years beyond that. Drink 2027 - 2055.
96 points
Charles Curtis MW - Decanter
The archetype of Volnay for Guillaume, and it prepares the way for Clos des Ducs. A clear bright purple. Today, the nose has a light reduction, but the fruit beneath is light on its feet yet with a fine tensile strength. This has a long backbone. An interesting, complex wine which one could easily pass over too quickly. Drink from 2031-2040.

2021 Nicks Secret ANGL McLaren Vale Shiraz

McLaren Vale, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
Reduced from $34.99
$17. 99
Bottle
$215.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 6 Years (2025-2031)

ABV: 14%

Closure: Diam Cork

From a very well-known family owned estate with an Italian-Australian heritage, this McLaren Vale winery burst onto the scene in the early 2000’s when the then, world's most powerful wine critic, Robert Parker, lauded many of the wines with scores in the high nineties.
Named in honour of the family’s matriarch, this plush Shiraz was matured in a mix of 25% new French, 5% new American and 70% seasoned oak hogsheads for a period of 16 months.
Oozing with succulence, this rich, seductive McLaren Vale Shiraz is a compelling buy at close to half it’s normal price.
Dense inky black heart with a near equally deep dark red black hue. Heady aromas of liquorice, blackberry and dark plum engulf the nostrils complimented by some vanillin oak, earthy mocha and spice notes. Rich, plush and seductive, the full, weighty palate is swamped with liquorice, blackberry and dark plum fruits that are oozing with succulence. Spicy vanillin oak, subtle earthy mocha and traces of peppered fennel also chime in. Boasting abundant power and a nicely built tannin structure that has a velvety feel, it finishes long and opulent.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

It revels in its full flex of the variety and the accompanying woody seasoning. Dark fruit, black pepper, cinnamon, clove, turned earth and undergrowth going on. It soars on the pulverised granite grip of tannins and lingers with its epic array of woody spice. Big vibe, big energy, big wine, and great harmony in all that. Classic stuff.

Mike Bennie – Wine Business Magazine
This is immediately appealing on the nose with dark fruit intensity, game, toasted spice, and cedary oak characters. The palate delivers succulent fruit intensity with spicy nuances, splendidly framed by silky texture and polished tannins, making it structured and plush at the same time. At its best: now to 2038.

Sam Kim – Wine Orbit
Named after the matriarch of the *** family, the wine hails from the south-western district of McLaren Vale where much of the *** fruit grows. This is a more demure expression than other Shiraz in the family portfolio, the fruit notes dark blue in tone with subtle vanillin oak integrated now after 20 months maturation in 10% new French and 5% new American barrels. Despite its depths, the palate is quite lively, acidity fresh and flavoursome with its spot on fruit energy, tannins prominent yet balanced with the overall weight of the wine. Most enjoyable.

Madre Blanco Tequila (200ml)

Jalisco, MEXICO
$49. 99
Bottle
$599.88 Dozen

ABV: 48%

Some may consider this more mezcal-like than mainstream tequila, but we love these robust, high ABV expressions that are a truer reflection of the spirit's rustic origins. The upfront, salty-agave lift to the nose sets a benchmark. Air contact drops the intensity a notch but ups the complexity releasing whiffs of green capsicum, pencil shavings, grilled pineapple, white pepper and green olive brine. Equally expressive in the mouth in its bold, zesty attack, viscous feel and vivid vegetal character that evokes salted lime, butter pickles and pepper followed by traces of sulphur, sauerkraut and spent candles. Too many Tequilas nowadays are comparatively meek, simple and much-of-a-muchness. Madre's breaks the mould. 48% Alc./Vol.

Uniformly bottled at a high strength with zero chill filtration, these whiskies have previously been selling for around $170 in Australia.

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 50%

We do enjoy these blends that often capture a kind of 'quintessential' Speyside character. It's probably a second or third-fill sherry casked malt; regardless, the region's classic traits come accompanied by the gentlest puff of smoke: Chewy muesli, barley cakes, poached orchard fruits, a dollop of honey and a hint of vanilla are all seamlessly stitched together, delicate peat adding depth and old-world charm to the finish. A profile that shows a level of integration and poise beyond its age statement. If you enjoy whiskies from Glenfiddich or Balvenie, this has a similar kind of vibe. 50% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered. Tasted from a 50ml sample.
Notes from the bottlers... An undisclosed Speyside Blended Malt Scotch Whisky that has a sweet yet smoky finish. Nose: Smoky shortbread. White pepper. Biscuits. Vanilla. palate: Sweet and malty at first with oakiness before a wave of herbal peat. finish: Peaty, but not smoky. Sweet pepperiness with shortbread.

Dark red black tinged colour with a dark red hue. Initial ripe red currant aromas are met by vanillin cedar and earth with some red liquorice and dried herb notes also evident. Ripe, fleshy and relatively simple, the mid weighted palate features red currant and cherry fruits over spicy vanillin cedar, red liquorice and earth. Slightly grainy tannins with a juicy, spice laden mid length finish.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.

Other Reviews…..
Open fermented with native yeasts; on skins for 16 days. Classically varietal, this is redolent of cherries, woody herbs and dusty earth notes. The oak ageing (12 months in older French) gives it the palate tension a Chianti-phile might expect. But this is the Vale, and a near-40-year history here makes it a rusted on local, with this an excellent example of why it is so suited – mid-weight, sinewy, fresh, savoury and crying out for food. Drink by 2027.

Other Reviews….
Cabernet sauvignon, merlot, malbec and cabernet franc all play a hand in this wine. A refined expression of cabernet(s): silky smooth, finely tuned with graphite-laced tannins, concentrated and inky but with a fresh finish way down the line. It's fragrant too, loads of dark berry, violets, tobacco and pencil shavings to sniff on. It feels controlled and tightly wound, drinking well now (though needs a big decant), but a future prospect for the patient amongst us.

2013 Signatory Vintage Speyside (TAM) 11 Year Old Small Batch Edition #13 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 48.2%

This is the 13th edition in Signatory's 'Small Batch' series. The lower part of the labels are usually dark red. To confuse things, it's now green (like the earlier Cask Strength bottlings in the range). Otherwise, it's a Secret Speyside with the additional designation 'TAM'. So this could be Tamdhu. It was drawn from first-fill Bolgheri Hogsheads (a Tuscan red wine made from grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot). Signatory uses these from time to time. However, given that all modern-day Tamdhu is matured in sherry casks, our suggestion is Tamnavulin out of Bourbon wood. The extra-long wine finish has left a beautiful auburn hue. The taster's tip is give the malt enough time to breathe, because it needs it. 48.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

A classic dry and savoury Margaret River blend.
A blend of 65% Semillon and 35% Sauvignon Blanc with 10% of the wine barrel fermented. Brilliant water like colour with a faint greenish tinge around the edges. Herbaceous gooseberry and passionfruit scents mix with grassy asparagus and subtle lime notes. Racy gooseberry, lime and passionfruit flavours have a herbaceous grassy and asparagus like overlay. Crisp acidity finishing very dry and savoury yet with ample length.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.

Other Reviews…..
You’re getting a decent bang for your buck with this classic example of a Margaret River staple, It’s the classic blend but then there’s more. The Savvy came from the cooler Karridale area in the south and 10% of the Semillon was barrel fermented before whole bunch pressing and wild fermentation. You don’t often see that level of winemaking in a wine that sells for $18. The result is a wine that captures the essential fruit energy complemented by that subtle bit of winemaking artifact. Drink 2024-2027.

ABV: 50%

Bunnah' from an Oloroso hogshead. A very soft, pure, creamy nose-feel invites further sniffs, the malt enriched with each pass; some nuttiness, too. Echoes on the palate in a rounded, creamy delivery hinting at dried grass, biscuity malt and a touch of orange chocolate. Concludes drier, lively, heart-warming, showing its youth. Aligned with some of the recent official cask strength bottlings, but look at the price! 50% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered. Tasted from a 50ml sample.

Madre Blanco Tequila (700ml)

Jalisco, MEXICO
$135. 00
Bottle
$1620.00 Dozen

ABV: 48%

Some may consider this more mezcal-like than mainstream tequila, but we love these robust, high ABV expressions that are a truer reflection of the spirit's rustic origins. The upfront, salty-agave lift to the nose sets a benchmark. Air contact drops the intensity a notch but ups the complexity releasing whiffs of green capsicum, pencil shavings, grilled pineapple, white pepper and green olive brine. Equally expressive in the mouth in its bold, zesty attack, viscous feel and vivid vegetal character that evokes salted lime, butter pickles and pepper followed by traces of sulphur, sauerkraut and spent candles. Too many Tequilas nowadays are comparatively meek, simple and much-of-a-muchness. Madre's breaks the mould. 48% Alc./Vol.

Waubs Harbour Stout Cask Limited Edition No.2 Single Malt Australian Whisky (500ml)

Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
$240. 00
Bottle
$2880.00 Dozen

ABV: 59%

This is the greatly anticipated sequel to the hugely popular Stout Cask Edition One, which sold out in under an hour via the distillery website. A collaboration with local legends, Tom and Phil from the local boutique brewery, Bicheno Beer Co. sees their Imperial Stout aged in x-Waubs Harbour whisky casks. New make spirit from Waub's that started out in ex-Tawny Port casks is then refilled into the empty Stout casks. The result is a big, bold, juicy single malt whisky with notes of plump sultanas, salted toffee & dark chocolate, summed up by the Head Distiller as "dark cherry ripe in a glass". We couldn't have described it better. 618 bottles make up the release at 59% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. *May contain a trace of dairy from the stout cask maturation.
Other reviews... “Absolutely delicious and has a lot going on.. This has more depth of flavour and slightly bigger mouthfeel than the first Stout Cask edition and as that was my favourite release from Waubs Harbour, that’s saying something. Even though it has an ABV of 59% there’s no alcohol burn.. They got it spot on.” - Ian Allinson, loyal customer.
Notes from the producers... Nose: Salted toffee, well aged tawny, cinnamon, star anise, creamy bittered stout. Palate: Salted toffee, caramelised waffle cone, woody sultana, citrus orange with the bitterness of the dark chocolate. Finish: Evolving aged woody port bouncing off the dark chocolate bitterness. Think dark cherry ripe.

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 50%

This Mannochmore has all of the heathery notes that you would expect, with the Moscatel barrique contributing honey and sweet oak. Light aromas of sheepskins, tea biscuits and ripe Jonathan apples lead into a medium-bodied and medium-sweet delivery with gentle peppers and a wavering beeswaxiness, the latter more salient towards the finish. The wax is a surprise, especially for such a young whisky. Clynelish fans should find this appealing. 50% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered. Tasted from a 50ml sample.
Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Sweet heather notes with honeycomb, wax and shortbread. Palate: More waxy-honey flavours, herbal with dry oak notes. Finish: Short finish with sweet oak and honey.

Cellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2025-2033)

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Intense but bunchy nose with a rich, supple palate that finishes long and expansive.
This release brings together Bannockburn’s entire spectrum of Pinot vineyards. The 2024 includes fruit from Olive Tree Hill, planted in 1976, 10 Rows (1991), Stuart Block (1997), Anns Block (2004) and the close-planted De La Terre block planted in 2007. All the sites lie in volcanic loam and dark clay over a limestone base and are planted to various clones, mainly MV6 with a smattering of the Dijon (or Bernard) clones. Fruit from each block fermented separately, with approximately 20% bunches included and a small portion undergoing carbonic maceration. The wine was pressed to hogsheads and puncheons (25% new) for 10 months’ maturation.
Dark red core with black shaded edges and a red to dark red hue. The nose is intense but at the same time very bunchy with dried clove infused aromas of dark cherry and strawberry trailed by some smoked meat, forest floor and spicy dried herb notes. Rich supple dark cherry and strawberry fruits are seductively layered across the palate with complexing elements of dried clove, bramble, rhubarb, smoked meat, forest floor and spice lending further interest. Concentrated and powerful it has polished tannins. Lingering through the long expansive conclusion are dried clove and spicy smoked meat characters.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 13.5%
Other Reviews…..
All the herbs and spices, of course, but the shells of nuts, woodsmoke, a chicory element and whispers of both black coffee and black tea, all of which swirl around sound, sure-footed cherry-berry fruit flavours. This wine is as complex as it is assured, its sinewy tannin finessed into place, its flavours cascading out through the finish. This will age beautifully, and is best consumed with at least another few years under its belt. Drink 2027-2033+

Cellar: Drink now - 3 Years (2025-2028)

ABV: 12%

Closure: Stelvin

Scrumptious benchmark Soave.
The Pieropan winery is in the heart of the Classico zone and dates back to 1890. Leonildo ‘Nino’ Pieropan, who sadly passed away in 2018, was the first to show the world just how great Garganega, and Italian white wine, can be. He recognised the importance of terroir early on, acquiring various hillside vineyards and expanding the prestigious Calvarino and La Rocca vineyards, first made as single vineyard crus in 1971 and 1978 respectively.
Today, sons Dario (winemaker) and Andrea (viticulturist) continue the family tradition. The brothers have converted all of their vineyards to organic and are overseeing the new winery being built amongst the vineyards just outside the village. Made mostly from Garganega grapes with the inclusion of 15% Trebbiano di Soave.
Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Aromas of pear and red apple skin show plenty of elevation out of the glass with hints of lime, fresh herbs and wet stone also evident. Delicious pear, lime and red apple skin flavours are delivered with ample concentration over a back drop of fresh herb infusions and slatey mineral elements. Crisp acidity with a river stone like feel to the long dry finish.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 50%

A young Deanston that's benefited from time in an Oloroso Sherry barrique. For a start, it smells older than it is; the nose has a reserved, dryish malty character, with subtle leather and tobacco mingling amongst the dried fruits. Unexpectedly mouth filling, medium to full bodied, though never aggressive. Creamy notes of tea biscuits are set against a subtle fruity character (orange zest? Ripe papaya?) Good length, ending drier, the oak encroaching. 50% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered. Tasted from a 50ml sample.
Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Barley sugar. Biscuit. Vanilla. Oak. Palate: Sweet vanilla. Shortbread. Toasted barley. Finish: Oaky-sweet finish with a vanilla aftertaste.

Springbank 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - 2024 bottling

Bottle
$9588.00 Dozen

ABV: 46%

"This is riiiight up my alley... either Springbank 18 is evolving, or it’s me. Or, well, perhaps both." - whiskyfun.com
The all-Bourbon matured 18 year old makes a return to our shelves with the annual 2024 edition just landed. The last time Serge Valentin from whiskyfun tasted this expression was back in 2020. As noted from his most recent tasting below, these bottlings seem to be getting better and better. The producers note honeyed granola, fruit gums, pear drops and tropical fruits. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... A freshly bottled edition, August 2024. A sign of the times, you’ll currently find Springbank 18 priced anywhere between €350 and €750 from online retailers, or from €250 on eBay. Of course, this doesn’t change the quality of the liquid one bit. The last one we tasted was the 2020 edition, very good (WF 86) but a far cry from our favourite, the 10-year-old (WF 91 last time) or the younger Local Barleys (also 91). And it's far superior to the ‘Red’, about which we’ll remain silent. Colour: straw. Nose: surprising, heading in the direction of the 10-year-old, with plenty of wet chalk, raw wool, sourdough, aspirin tablets, even bandages, followed by lemon zest, paraffin, a hint of seawater, and traces of tar. This is riiiight up my alley. Mouth: oilier and saltier on the palate, with peat, ashes, a touch of green apple liqueur, and that persistent wet chalk that’s a bit reminiscent of ‘natural’ champagnes. A lovely green pepper then appears, accompanied by small bits of candied lemon, which I find particularly ‘Springbank’. Finish: long, saline, peppery, with fine bitterness and ash, and then paraffined lemon in the aftertaste. Comments: well, either Springbank 18 is evolving, or it’s me. Or, well, perhaps both. 90 points - whiskyfun.com
On the nose very much determined by the bourbon barrel: Ripe yellow fruit, vanilla and flower meadow. Accompanied by very subtle smoke. A wonderfully complex nose. Lots of bright yellow fruits are again present on the tongue. There is also a spicy eucalyptus note and plenty of complexity. A wonderful whisky. Springbank and 100% bourbon simply work brilliantly. One of the best whiskies I've had the pleasure of drinking so far. - whiskybase.com
Notes from the producers... Nose: Tropical fruits are at the forefront in notes of papaya and pineapple. There is a malty, dried barley note, with vanilla and custard creams. Palate: Notes of golden syrup and honeyed granola emerge on the palate, along with fruit gums, pear drops and butter icing. Finish: The tropical fruits carry through to the finish, with the addition of a herbaceous, gorse note and a touch of sea salt.

Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - 26th Release

Campbeltown, SCOTLAND
$399. 00
Bottle
$4788.00 Dozen

ABV: 56.2%

Springbank's twelve year old cask strength edition has been on the market for about twelve years. Releases have not always been to schedule. In some years, just one bottling was offered. Due to its growing popularity, Springbank has settled on two annual releases. Batch 26 is the second offering for 2024 and comes matured in 60% bourbon casks, 35% sherry casks and 5% rum casks. Oily, sweet peat and rich barley combine in what is for many the definitive bottling from this distillery, preferred even over older age statements. Always a big whisky, it's reported that the deeper colour indicates they're now using more fresh, first-fill sherry, which should further up the flavour profile. 56.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... A beauty and not something to be rushed. I have a couple of open editions from previous years and I considered a comparison, but what’s the point? It’s not like we can go out and choose which to pick up. Each batch is a wee bit different, sure, but they’re all on a similar theme and every one is something to cherish. Even the ‘lesser’ celebrated batches are excellent and always interesting; bold and full on... Something special. - dramface.com
Notes from the producers... Nose: Toffee apple sweetness kicks off this cask strength whisky, along with notes of parma ham, hazelnut and marzipan. Palate: Rich and syrupy on the palate, there are notes of tinned peaches, fruit syrup, honeycomb and milk chocolate. Finish: Subtle peat smoke emerges in the finish, along with notes of heather honey and orange rind.

Lowlands, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 50%

For a whisky style that's naturally on the sweeter side, this grain has survived time in a Pedro Ximenez sherry barrique without falling flat. A vague pear/apple fruitiness adds freshness to the nose; the flavours come with a mild alcohol flare and notes of cream soda, sponge cake, vanilla, milk chocolate plus late hints of dates. As an experiment in maturation, it has succeeded in fattening up to malt-standards what otherwise might have been a relatively thin affair. Hardly complex, but impressively textural for grain of this ilk. 50% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. Tasted from a 50ml sample.
Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Aniseed. Creamy. Hint of fennel. Sweet mint. Vanilla pod. Palate: Rich vanilla with crème brulee. More aniseed, slightly herbal. Finish: Custard, creamy finish. Lots of vanilla, raisins and icing sugar.

Earns top marks for elegance at a (reasonably) tiny $25 price tag. Well defined, fine-edged tannins provide structure and the perfect background for the fruit and spice that follows in blackberry, red plum, clove, chocolate panforte, nutmeg and a wealth of lovely, indulgent spice. A good follow up to the elegant ’22 with well-handled, discreet oak a feature across the medium bodied palate. As with the ’22, the ’23 is more refined all round and good to see the price remains the same. Drink 2024-2031.

Cellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2025-2033)

Closure: Stelvin

Rich and mouth coating yet energetic with a long driving finish.
In 2003, the Croser family removed 1.3 hectares of the original Tiers Vineyard Chardonnay that was planted in 1979 in the Piccadilly Valley as the first Adelaide Hills vineyard. The area was replanted with the French Bernard clones 76 and 95 on rootstocks, on very close 1.5 metre row spacing with the fruiting wire at only 0.5 metres above the ground. This unique vineyard section produces earlier ripening, fuller flavoured Chardonnay than the old vine Chardonnay on its own roots, across the centre road in Tiers Vineyard.
Brilliant pale straw colour with green tinged edges and a watery hue. Delightful aromas of white peach and nectarine draped with dried honey sail through the nostrils trailed by some citrusy nougat, whiffs of crème brulee and delicate cashew notes. Rich, concentrated fleshy white peach, ripe nectarine, dried honey and citrusy nougat flavours engulf the palate with a mouth coating textural feel. Crème brulee, biscuit and delicate spicy cashew elements sit in the background. Showing outstanding drive, energetic acidity lends a fresh feel to the long, cream tinged finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Fruit is picked from a close-planted block that was planted in '03. This is wonderful chardonnay – all finesse, tension, filigreed minerality, light, savoury undertones and pristine, bright green pear, nectarine and pink grapefruit freshness. Touches of nougat, sea spray and green almond in the mesh of characters here. A suggestion of flint and wet slate lend credence and complexity, too. Very precise and energetic, and extends long in flavour and persistence of minerality. Class act. Drink by 2035.

Mike Bennie – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
From a close planted block established in 2003. Bernard clones 76 and 95. It’s distinctly different to the Tiers old vine Chardonnay as a result, and I tend to think it’s the clonal selection that’s the biggest point of difference.
Pear, grapefruit, green banana, almond biscotti and spice, bread dough and some honey/floral perfume, with just a tiny bit of matchstick. It’s juicy and flavoursome, but tight in acidity, with a distinctly flinty texture, along with a creamy nougat richness, and a tight citrus finish of excellent length. Wonderful wine. Drink 2025-2034+

Gary Walsh – The Wine Front
The close spaced planting of this part of the Tiers vineyard imparts a slightly different flavour and textural feel to the Chardonnays from the old Tiers plantings. Intense aromas of tropical fruits, brioche and spices. The palate is ripe and textured although the chalky acid and light citrus edge hold the definition and line through to the long finish. Supremely balanced with the oak and fruit integration seamless and refined. Excellent wine. Drink 2025-2037.

2023 Domaine Metrat et Fils La Belle Coudriere Moulin a Vent

Beaujolais, FRANCE
$36. 99
Bottle

Cellar: Drink now - 4 Years (2025-2029)

ABV: 13%

Closure: Stelvin

Juicy fruits with ripe, slightly chewy tannins, bright acidity and a fleshy spiced dried herb laced finish of ample length.
From 60+ year old vines located just across the valley to the north of the winery not far from the famous windmill of Moulin a Vent. The vines here are east facing in granite soil and Moulin a Vent has a high presence of manganese which gives the wine its Moulin a Vent identity. This vineyard is slightly lower on the slope than his holding right in the centre of La Roilette (which sits adjacent to Moulin a Vent and which historically was considered part of Moulin a Vent), and close to the family winery less than 1km away. Always among the richest and deepest of wines with more structure and ageing capacity this cuvee is particularly successful in 2023 with the tannic structure of the wine well covered by the ripeness and fleshy generosity of the vintage. The harvest is all by hand with selection and sorting in the vineyard and winery. Maceration is carried out on 100% whole bunch fermenting semi-carbonic with indigenous yeasts lasting between 15 and 20 days on skins. The grapes are pressed then settled with fermentation continuing for 8 to 10 days, at 18 degrees to trigger the malolactic process. Aging lasts 18 months: 50% in 5-year-old oak barrels and 50% in vats.
Deep dark red black tinged core with a dark red hue. Aromas of ripe strawberry and morello cherry infused with dried herbs mix with some earthy incense and spice like notes. Juicy morello cherry and strawberry fruits are interwoven with earthy dried herb and spicy incense like elements. Ripe, slightly chewy tannins with bright acidity and a fleshy spiced dried herb laced finish of ample length.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.

A lovely, engaging riesling that is at once delicate while boasting impressive fruit concentration. Spring blossom and white florals join with lime citrus (pith, peel and juice) with hints of fresh alpine herbs. Well composed, lightly textured and chalky-fine, it is carried along on a super fresh acid line. Another good 'un from a top riesling maker.

2024 Tapanappa Tiers Vineyard Chardonnay

Piccadilly Valley, Adelaide Hills, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$95. 00
Bottle
$1140.00 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2025-2033)

ABV: 14.1%

Closure: Stelvin

Rich, spicy and textural, this a remarkably powerful yet refined Chardonnay that shows a Burgundy like finesse and complexity.
Located in the Piccadilly Valley within the Adelaide Hills region, Brian Croser’s Tiers vineyard was planted in 1979 making it the first in the region. It is perfectly suited to Chardonnay being a closely matched homo-clime of Burgundy, especially the southern end of the Cotes de Beaune where the great wines of Montrachet and Meursault are grown. Fermented in French oak barriques (one third new) the wine was then aged on full lees until November 2024.
Brilliant very pale straw colour with highlights of green around the edges and a watery hue. Elevated white peach, pear and nectarine aromas flood the nostrils complimented by some subtle dried honey, biscuity nougat, cashew and infusions of gun flint. Rich, spicy and textural, the medium to full bodied palate is flush with white peach, pear and nectarine fruits which show terrific intensity and purity. Fresh, chalky acidity lends focus. Dried honey, nougat, subtle crème brulee, wet stone and gun flint elements unwind across the back half. Remarkably powerful yet refined it finishes exceptionally long with a Burgundy like finesse and complexity.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Other Reviews…..
The 2024 Tiers Vineyard Chardonnay always ratchets up the fruit power and intensity from all other Chardonnays, both at Tapanappa and in the Adelaide Hills region at large. This usually gives us a thundering display of concentration and phenolic drive, and this 2024 iteration is no exception to that long-established rule. There are notes of crushed and salted nuts, saffron, Golden Delicious apples, nougat and oyster shell/shale with a scintillating acid line. I still quietly wonder to myself if we are seeing these wines too young. However, it then becomes up to us to exercise some restraint when selecting our drinking windows. For me, this wine will be at its best a couple of years from now and into the long future ahead. May we all age so gracefully. 14.1% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2027-2037.

Erin Larkin – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
This has to rank up there with the best of the Tiers Vineyard Chardies yet released. It was an ever so slightly warmer vintage than the previous and this is reflected in the depth and fruit concentration expressed with relative opulence. Lots of nectarine, and cashew with a spicy pear edge to it. The fine chalky acid really holds the tension ensuring a defined and exceptionally long finish. A dry savoury and tight subtle astringency on the finish provides the final flourish to an outstanding wine. Drink 2025-2037.
