    2023 Larnook Blewitt Springs Grenache
    McLaren Vale, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
    $42. 99
    Bottle
    $515.88 Dozen
    Cellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2025-2033)
    ABV: 14%
    Closure: Stelvin

    A juicy Grenache with explosive power yet tense and sculptured in its feel.

    Dark red core with black shaded edges and a red hue. Jumping out of the glass with plenty of intensity are red to dark raspberry, red liquorice and cherry aromas which are trailed by some vanillin confectionary, crushed rock and pepper notes. Exploding across the mid weighted palate are delicious red to dark raspberry, red liquorice and cherry fruits which are framed by muscular like tannins and energetic acidity. Tense yet powerful it sees notions of crushed rock, fresh herb infusions and pepper extend right through to a very long and juicy yet sculptured finish.
    Drink over the next 6-8 years.

    Centurion estate vines on deep sandy soil; matured in old French puncheons for eight months. Elegant and fragrant, and savoury with it, flush with amarena cherry, fresh redcurrant, strawberry, cranberry, rhubarb, cinnamon, musk, rosewater and sumac. This is expressly pretty and lithe, eschewing heft for vigour – with a finely structured line of nebbiolo-esque tannin – and that feels a function of site, vintage and vine material as much as purposeful stewardship. It’s no blockbuster – if that’s even relevant these days – but it surely is a lovely, lovely thing. This is an address on the rapid ascent. Drink by 2030.

    Marcus Ellis – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion

    This has all the hallmarks of modern-day Grenache in the high quality spectrum from this area. It’s expressive, and light-footed, though at no expense to power and detail. 100 year old bush vines rooted in the coveted sandy soils of Blewitt Springs at the Larnook vineyard. 25% whole bunch and matured in old French puncheons for eight months. Lifted white pepper sits above red cherry, strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb and sweet pops of plum before an emergent savoury drive of warm sand and tilled earth builds beneath. Air unlocks further earthen notes along with rhubarb and a subtle saline twang adding allure. There’s an interesting interplay of red fruit compote, earth and spice that packs this with interest and intrigue. The palate is svelte, fine and restrained while still brilliantly intense with unmistakable old vine depth. Raspberry, plum, warm sand, and white pepper sit within fine, powdery tannins and red fruited acidity. The finish is long and wonderfully poised. There’s fine detail here, and excellent complexity. A classy release of excellent depth and character.

    A nicely fleshed fruit driven Tassie Chardonnay with brisk acidity.

    Brilliant pale straw colour with flashes of green around the outskirts and a watery hue. Ripe peach and apricot scents mix with some bees wax, citrus, cashew and spice notes. Fleshy peach, nectarine and melon fruits overlay a subtle bees wax, cashew and spice back drop. Brisk acidity with a long generous fruit driven finish that has a dash of spicy cashew to it.
    Drink over the next 2-3 years.

    Coal River Valley chardonnay. Light straw in the glass with inviting aromas of white peach, nectarine and citrus with hints of soft spice, white flowers, oatmeal, crushed stone, nougat, clotted cream and a wisp of struck flint. A picture of clarity and tension with a swoop of pithy texture, a mealy tide slowly retreating and some lovely grapefruit pith notes as the wine retreats. Drink by 2032.

    Dave Brookes – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion

    Oh look at this wine coming in at a heady 13%. Joe is flying into the Danger Zone, like Kenny Loggins, although the label says it goes well with ‘Russian Hip Hop’. Unusually this is from down south, Coal Valley, rather than Tamar.
    This has a bit more flavour than is usual, and the acidity seems a bit keener too, and really drives the wine along. There’s white peach, green apple, a saline edge, a flicker of aniseed and spice, along with some oatmeal savoury stuff and samphire. Sports some grapefruit and lemon peel on a finish of intensity and excellent length. Even as a young wine it offers complexity and no shortage of interest, though I reckon it may be better again with another year or two in bottle. Very good.

    2022 Keller Alte Reben Reserve Weisswein Trocken
    Rheinhessen, GERMANY
    $220. 00
    Bottle
    $2640.00 Dozen
    ABV: 13%
    Closure: Cork

    It is difficult to overstate just how central Weingut Keller has become to the modern understanding of dry Riesling. Since Klaus-Peter Keller took over from his father in 2001, the estate has set a global benchmark for precision and expression, joined in recent years by his son Felix, who now plays an increasingly active role in both the vineyards and cellar. Together with Julia Keller, they continue to refine a style that balances crystalline purity with textural depth, producing some of the most sought-after wines in Germany and beyond.

    The Alte Reben Reserve represents the Keller family's most ambitious expression of their Burgundian varieties, a deeply personal project for Felix and Klaus-Peter that channels the same precision and drive that define their Rieslings. Sourced from 30-60 year old vines across the limestone slopes of Westhofen and Dalsheim, including parcels in Aulerde, Frauenberg and Steingrube, this blend of Chardonnay (60%) and Pinot Blanc (40%) is built for longevity and complexity. The grapes are crushed and given twelve hours of skin contact before fermenting in a mix of 228 and 1,200 litre barrels, around one-third new, sourced from leading Burgundian coopers. The result is a wine of both substance and refinement, with Chardonnay bringing breadth and power while Pinot Blanc contributes taut, mineral precision. It stands as one of the most complete articulations yet of the Kellers' vision for these varieties on Rheinhessen's limestone soils.

    As one might expect, this possesses the spiciest nose to this point with its wonderfully floral red berry fruit aromas. The borderline painfully intense flavors possess a super-sleek and chiseled mouthfeel that is akin to rolling small rocks around the mouth on the dusty, moderately austere, compact and built-to-age finale. I would strongly recommend not touching a bottle of this beauty before at least 10 years have passed. Drink through 2034+.

    An exotically spicy and broadly floral-suffused nose is comprised mostly by ripe plum and black cherry scents. The super-sleek and highly energetic medium weight flavors brim with both dry extract and an almost aggressive minerality on the precise intense, balanced and lingering finish that, like the Bousse d'Or, would benefit from better depth. Even so, this is very classy juice with the aging potential to match. Drink through 2034+.

    Here a more reticent and cooler nose is both gamier and spicier. The super-sleek medium-bodied flavors possess a gorgeous mouthfeel together with solid power on the more refined and ever-so-slightly longer and notably firmer finish. This is impeccably well-balanced but in contrast to the Bressandes, extended patience will absolutely be necessary, indeed I would suggest not touching a bottle before 10 years of age. Drink through 2037+.

    More evident wood influence is present on the beautifully layered aromas of red and dark cherry, forest floor, spice and pretty floral nuances. The rich, moderately concentrated and palate soaking medium-bodied flavors display focused power on the firm, serious and built-to-age finale. This is excellent and well-worth a look provided you intend to cellar it for at least 5 or so years first. Drink through 2034+.

    Allen Meadows - Burghound

    A pretty mid crimson purple. The nose shows some expression of attractive ripe fruit, which builds beautifully on the palate, more red fruit than black. Indeed, the Beaune Grèves is built more on a fruit acid structure with just a few light tannins at the finish. Notably persistent, but not a bone crunching Grèves. Drink from 2030-2037.

    A wonderfully spicy broad-ranging nose features pure notes of wild red currant, leather, earth and a hint of wood influence. The delicious, vibrant and muscular medium weight plus flavors possess a beguiling mid-palate texture while exuding a subtle bead of minerality on the balanced, lingering and youthfully austere finale. This is excellent though a wine destined for long-term keeping. Drink through 2037+.

    The 2022 Corton Le Clos du Roi Grand Cru has an attractive, quite floral bouquet with rose petal scents infusing the lively red berry fruit. Fine mineralité in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-knit tannins, one of the most saline of Vougeraie's reds, with a sense of tension on the finish. Excellent. Drink 2027-2048.

    Neal Martin - Vinous

    20% destemmed fruit is placed at the bottom of the vat, then the rest follows in whole bunches. An excellent fresh purple colour, with a glossy, charming bouquet, then a steely backbone which shows off the elegant style of the fruit to good effect. Not massively intense but very consistent throughout with a good long finish. Drink from 2030-2038.

    The Seabrook family have a long history in the Australian wine industry, dating back to 1878 when William Seabrook established one of Australia’s earliest wine merchants, W.J. Seabrook & Son. Today, fifth generation member Hamish Seabrook carries on the tradition. After graduating from Adelaide University with a bachelor of Oenology, Hamish went on to work and make wine for Best’s Great Western where industry legend Viv Thomson took him under his wing. After several other senior winemaking roles, Hamish went on to establish his own brand continuing the families long involvement in the wine industry.
    The fruit for this wine was sourced from Seabrook’s Home Block vineyard located on the eastern ridge of Barossa Valley. The rows are orientated north south and the vineyard captures most of the afternoon sun, this coupled with the aspect, allow perfect conditions for early ripening. Matured for 24 months in barrel.

    Thick and seductive with black fruits layered across a sumptuously rich palate.

    Super dense inky black heart with a near equally deep dark red black hue. Intense dark plum, liquorice and blackberry scents waft from the glass followed by some black cherry, vanillin oak, scorched earth and peppered fennel notes. Bold, lush and voluptuously textured the palate is drenched end to end in spicy black plum, liquorice and black cherry fruits which meld into a vanillin oak, scorched earth and peppered fennel back drop. Boasting magnificent power, richness and density it has velvet smooth tannins and a long super seductive finish. Blockbuster stuff!
    Drink over the next 4-5 years.

    A deeply coloured, full-bodied shiraz that features deep, pure blackberry, black cherry and boysenberry fruits with hints of five-spice, dark-chocolate bullets, cedar, vanilla bean, graphite, blackforest cake and pan juices. Absurdly pure and balanced on the palate, with an unctuous black-fruit flow, superfine tannins and a finish that shows great persistence. This is a gem. Drink by 2040.

    The 2022 Volnay Vieilles Vignes is completely de-stemmed. Brambly red fruit and light tertiary scents on the nose that sports a minor reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, not a complex Volnay, but fresh with fine backbone and respectable mineralité on the finish. A well-crafted Volnay. Drink 2025-2035.

    This site can ripen rapidly, but Glantenay appears to have picked the 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots at the perfect date, delivering a medium to full-bodied, velvety and harmonious wine evocative of sweet cherries, dark berries, licorice and spices. Supple and seamless, with sweet, powdery tannins, it will offer a broad drinking window.

    The 2022 Volnay Les Santenots 1er Cru was completely de-stemmed as Glantenay finds that the terroir already provides sufficient tannins. The nose is delineated and focused with blackberry, bilberry and light oyster shell scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins. Plenty of freshness here, quite citric in style, with white pepper and clove towards the finish. Good persistence and freshness. This should mature with class. Drink 2026-2046.

    The 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes is the ripest, most dramatic wine in the cellar, as is often the case, bursting with aromas of cherries, plums, spices and petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and voluminous palate, with a sweet core of fruit framed by rich structuring tannin.

    The 2022 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru contains 25% to 30% whole bunches this vintage. The energetic bouquet offers redcurrant and raspberry fruit, fine mineralité and tension. Hints of black truffle shavings emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. There’s a liberal sprinkling of black pepper here, the stem addition perhaps the most tangible amongst the cuvées yet commensurate with the fruit concentration. This is another success for the estate in 2022. Drink 2026-2046.

    The 2022 Volnay Les Caillerets 1er Cru is blended with 50% whole bunches, the most of any cuvée in Glantenay's range. The stems are quite potent on the nose, very floral - wilted roses in an antique vase, crushed stone and a touch of truffle oil. The palate is medium-bodied with brittle tannins. Quite saline, which gets the saliva flowing. This is perhaps the most powerful wine on the finish, with a long, spicy aftertaste. Excellent. Drink 2026-2048.

Yields are 2.5 tonnes per hectare with the fruit fermented in 1 and 2 tonne open fermenters and hand plunged 3 times daily. Matured for 16 months in 100% new oak hogshead barrels (92% French and 8% American).
    Impenetrable black as night heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. A heady mix of blackberry, liquorice and blackcurrant scents greet the nostrils followed by some dark plum, vanillin cedar, subtle earthy tobacco and bay leaf notes. Rich and dense yet refined, blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits seamlessly integrate with Cabernets blackcurrant component. Possessing fine grained tannins together with a vivid freshness, spicy vanillin cedar, delicate earthy tobacco and pepper elements linger across the back half. Expressive yet showing great definition and brimming with energy, it finishes long and elegant.
    Cellar 8-10 years.

    The 2022 Anaperenna Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon is so attractive on the nose, with red berries and roses, abundant, glossy fruits and an attractive balance of spice to go with it. These Glaetzer wines are full-bodied yet sleek, and while this is certainly ripe, it is in no way dull or overdone because of that. It has notes of raspberry, dark chocolate, cherry (ripe in its way) and licorice. There are layers of jubes/pastilles, plump fruit, earth and plenty of ductile tannin, and oak is tucked away in there too—all things writ large yet svelte. 15% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2024-2037.

    Erin Larkin – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate

    A deeply coloured cabernet sauvignon, one possessed of opulent black-fruited heft and a slightly broody disposition. Ben Glaetzer's wines are no wallflowers. There is no expectation of pontificating on space or filigree. You just stare at the glass, google-eyed at its latent power and opulence. Not a herbaceous bone in this wine's torso. Just thick black fruits, licorice, earth, graphite, fine, sandy tannins and a smooth, hydraulically consistent flow of rich fruit far into the distance. Drink by 2043.

    Dave Brookes – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion

    Exceptional old vine Ebenezer fruit has been brought in to create this wonderfully expressive Barossa blend. The Shiraz from vines up to 100 years old and the Cabernet up to 130 years old. It’s a remarkable resource that Glaetzer has harnessed expertly to capture every last bit of that intensity and power. Rich, dark chocolate and blackberry plummy flavours swirl through a dense and concentrated palate. Having said all that, it retains an elegance and gracefulness. Drink 2025-2045.

    Ray Jordan - WinePilot.com

    The great Aussie red blend from a top year and a producer nearing cult status. This is heavily Shiraz dominant – 82%, to just 18% Cabernet. From the Ebenezer sub-region, the yield overall is just two and a half tonnes per hectare. The Shiraz vines range in age between 30 and 100 years, while the Cabernet is even more impressive, between 30 and 130 years. The wine spent sixteen months maturing in hogsheads, all new, with 92% of them French and the remaining 8% American. Under cork. This is a bit special. An opaque maroon, we have notes of blackberries, cold tea, chocolate and mocha with some soy, bay leaves, dried herbs and graphite also evident. A wine with a supple texture and immense length, this is seamless, with the intensity never wavering for a moment. There is oak, but it is immaculately handled and simply adds to the overall impression of a brilliant wine. Fifteen years ahead of it, without a hiccup. It is cracking buying. Drink 2025-2040.

    Whole-bunch pressed to French for native-yeast barrel fermentation. A cool year brings a tightly coiled expression. Oak frames cool ripeness; white peach and nectarine, green apple and lemon oil, with stone fruit kernel, hazelnut and ginger notes complexing. There’s a light-bodied charm to this, a breezy linearity, but the detail is there, and though the fruit is tight now, it should gently swell with time in bottle. Drink by 2027.

    Such a sense of pride with the inaugural release of Mike Symon’s wines. He spent 13 or so years at Stonier, but these days he’s gone back to basics – vineyard work, hands-on winemaking – although he always did that. And he’s the winemaker at Scorpo. The peninsula is his patch. This a blend of two sites: Coolart Creek vineyard in Merricks, which he manages, and Stanley Road, previously known as Jimjoca, which he oversees for Scorpo. Hand-picked fruit, whole-bunch pressed to old puncheons, no mlf and aged nine months. This is very, very good. Floral and spicy with white nectarine, lemon, freshly sliced apple and some ginger powder. It’s a little chalky with wafts of truffley lees, the palate very fine with a saline tang to the acidity and a lingering finish. Drink 2024-2033.

    Jane Faulkner - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion

    Mike Symons, ex of Stonier, now at Scorpo, is a top fellow. Certainly knows his way around the Mornington Peninsula. This is a new project for him, and the inaugural release. This comes from a blend of two vineyards in Merricks – Coolart Creak and Stanley Road (nee Jimjoca). Two three year old puncheons. No malo. The wines are made at Scorpo, which they share with Barney Flanders of Garagiste, so help them. Morning(ton) tea must be an interesting affair. I did my own bottle image. Not too shabby really, albeit a little wonky.
    Intense Chardonnay here. A whole lot of flavour and tight acidity with it. Nectarine, pink grapefruit, biscuit spice and cedar, some aniseed and something of a tangy yoghourt character. It’s flinty and chalky, it has almost no struck match and all that stuff, more about fruit and subtle, but present, oak, there’s some preserved lemon here too, with a zesty finish offering quite some acid bite and excellent length. Very good. Drink 2024-2031+

    Bottle
    $11988.00 Dozen
    ABV: 13.5%
    Closure: Cork

    As the only Sauternes property classified as Premier Cru Superieur, drinking a bottle of Chateau d'Yquem is an experience unlike any other. Situated in the epicentre of prime sweet wine production in France, their unique position and wealth of soil profiles allows d'Yquem to produce wines of enormous complexity with consistent accumulation of botrytis often in years when others struggle.

    The 2022 Chateau d’Yquem is a vintage shaped by extremes—the driest and hottest year on record at the estate, with an exceptionally early start to the season. Noble rot developed late, and a dramatic shift in mid-October led to rapid concentration, resulting in Yquem’s most opulent wine since 1945, with 160 g/L residual sugar. Despite the richness, meticulous blending and shorter elevage ensure remarkable freshness and balance in this extraordinary Sauternes.

    Other Reviews....
    A blend of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2022 d'Yquem is a strong candidate for the title of wine of the vintage. Exhibiting a remarkably delicate, complex and energetic bouquet of rose, confit citrus, exotic fruits and orange marmalade, it's full-bodied, dense and deep with a pristine balance enhanced by a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and beautiful, gastronomic bitterness and dry extracts that segue to a long, ethereal, delicately perfumed and refined finish. Lorenzo Pasquini and his team have perfectly understood the vintage by privileging the third tries, fully exposed to Botrytis cinerea, in the blend, bringing density and precision along with an energetic and splendidly balanced interplay of bitterness and sweetness. Residual sugar levels reach 160 grams per liter, marking it as the second-highest since the iconic 1945 vintage. Drink 2034-2074.

    Yohan Castaing - Wine Advocate (Jan 17, 2025)

    The 2022 Yquem is a blend of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc with 160 g/L residual sugar and a total acidity of 5.39 g/L. It is the first certified organic vintage for the estate and has the lowest level of total sulphur ever: 234 g/L, high within the sphere of wine but comparatively low for Sauternes. The 2022 was aged for 24 months in new barrels that underwent slightly less drying than those used for red wines in order to retain some green tannins. Given the growing season, the 2022 Yquem has a surprisingly understated bouquet that demands coaxing. Scents of orange pith, passion fruit and quince are exquisitely defined, a hint of chamomile dancing around in the background. The palate is medium-bodied. Given the high level of residual sugar, what is surprising is that the 2022 does not seem a weighty or texturally unctuous Yquem, yet there is an intensity and concentration that is arresting. Vivid flavours of clementine, wild honey, quince and tangerine that effortlessly combine. The acidity almost nonchalantly counters the sensation of residual sugar, so it feels less than it actually is, the scintilla of salinity toward the finish tempting you back for more. This is a marvellous and quite cerebral Yquem for which patience is required. Drink 2030-2100.

    Neal Martin - Vinous

    A perfect Yquem again after the 2021, which is fresher and more refined than the 2022. The perception of sweetness is super-knit. Lots of botrytis, with turmeric, saffron, cream, roasted meringue, pine nuts, spices and dried mangoes. This is a powerful, seductive and lush wine. Ornamented and richer this year than 2021, but there is so much charm and harmony. Long and spicy, with a hint of petrol at the end. Wow. The second most concentrated Yquem after 1945, according to the winemaker. About 160 grams of residual sugar. So approachable now, but better in five or six years. It will live forever.

    James Suckling

    Combining incredible power, sweetness, and opulence with racy acidity and a touch of bitterness on the backend offsetting all the rich, honey-slathered fruits, it takes only a single sniff and sip to discern that this is one of the great vintages produced by Chateau d'Yquem. That says a lot, considering all the fabulous vintages the estate has crafted. The palate showcases its wealth of honeyed fruits alongside Indian spices and a vibrancy found in no other sweet wine. The wine envelops your palate, teeth, and gums leaving you with a zesty finish that lingers for a full 60 seconds and more! This is a legend in the making! Like all great vintages of Chateau d'Yquem, you can enjoy this with pleasure in its youth, with its sweet, ripe fruits showcasing a unique sense of honeyed purity, or you can save it for your grandchildren. Drink from 2027-2100.

    This is taut, streamlined and tightly knit. Mid-weighted of feel and immensely savory, beaming scents of graphite, dried tobacco, black olive, lilac and currant along a barrel of sage-doused tannins, a glint of precision and class from attack to the long finish A complex wine with a considerable future ahead of it. Best the next day and the one after that given a bit of youthful inscrutability. Super value, too. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

    Superb aged riesling, always released to excellent effect following a decade of bottle age. Light-weighted, with an intensity of flavor and precision that belies its balletic gait. Think spiced quince, honeydew, candied citrus, lemon balm and a faint whiff of kerosene. Yet there is nothing untoward here. The acidity is nicely nestled into what feels like an almost plump mid-palate after the effects of ageing. This is a cooler block on this esteemed site, its wine really sitting pretty. Drink now. Screw cap.

    A very mature release here. Patience from the Barry family, delivered to you. Magnificent. Complex, supple and loaded with honey toast, truffle and sugared almond. The calling cards of lime, preserved lemon and spicy ginger work their magic in bouquet and palate. A gourmet wine, with so much going on in each mouthful and plenty to savour. Complexity, structure and vitality all here, too. This is a superb cellar release. Drink by 2030.

    Australian wine producers do love having the word ‘block’ in a wine name. I’ll knock your flamin’ block off you drongo. Vineyard sits at 497 metres above sea level. Planted in 1979.
    Lime, lemon zest, honey, quince, mint, a discreet petrol top note, slightly spicy too. It has more flavour and less overt acidity than the Block 114, a lick of spice and dried peel, some toasty complexity, with some Bickford’s lime cordial on a dry finish of excellent length and dusty grip.
    Very good aged Clare Riesling, and distinctive in that style. Drink 2023-2033+

    Clase Azul Gold Tequila (750ml)
    Jalisco, MEXICO
    $650. 00
    Bottle
    $7800.00 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

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

    The name Clase Azul, meaning 'blue class', was inspired by the blue agaves used to make their spirits. This is probably the most unusual product in their line up - a blend that melds Clase Azul Plata with a special Reposado matured in French oak, and an Extra Añejo aged in x Bourbon barrels. The final combination is finished in Pedro Ximénez (sweet) sherry casks. It's also one of the most sleek and silky, which will no doubt put some traditionalists off. At times, the profile seems to almost wander into rum territory, the agave so delicately expressed you might fail to notice it amidst the sweet oak. You have to dig deep to appreciate the subtleties here, the agave being low-key, merely hinting at roasted green capsicums, dill pickle, white pepper and tobacco, gathering more traditional tequila vibrancy after air contact. It's a remarkably finessed, elegant, soft expression of the spirit, best reserved for standalone sipping. Alternatively, the producers suggest matching it with brie, tangerines or white chocolate. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Notes from the producers... Toasted wood, agave nectar, orange peel, almond and hints of fresh fig, raisin and walnut. Cooked agave, almond and fig marmalade with a long finish of cacao and dried plum. The Clas Azul brand can be instantly recognised by their stunning decanters. Tradición Mazahua, founded in 2007, is a ceramic workshop where artisans dedicate themselves to creating the vessels as a tribute to Mexican culture. In this example, the ceramic base is adorned by two hand painted 24-karat gold ribbons, while the glass is inspired by the spectacular incandescence of Mexican sunsets.

    Clase Azul Guerrero Mezcal (750ml)
    Oaxaca, MEXICO
    $650. 00
    Bottle
    $7800.00 Dozen
    ABV: 42%

    Please note: due to the matte textured finish on these decanters, they are sensitive to touch and may show minor scuff marks. This is unavoidable. The producers recommend rinsing them under running water to maintain their finish. Avoid using rags or paper products to clean the decanter.

    A brand beloved by many a tequila and Mezcal fan, Clase Azul has recently added several new additions to the line up. "Guerrero" is crafted using the Papalote agave, a unique species native to the humid highlands of Guerrero in Mexico's south. Alternatively known as agave cupreata, it imparts a distinct character to the resulting mezcal, drawing influence from the region's coastal landscape and verdant forests: Think grapefruit zest, freshly cut wood, rosemary and toasted peanuts, hints of butter and daisies on the nose, with seaweed, lemon juice, pepper, and light tobacco on the palate. Notable is the fact that the agaves are milled by hand, rather than using a donkey and tahona or mechanical mill. The manual process is said to retain more of the plant's flavours while adding length and body to the distillate. Followers of Clas Azul will appreciate the stunning hand-crafted decanter, in particular, the vibrant cap featuring hummingbirds, lacquered by artisans according to traditional techniques. For anyone who caves into actually opening a bottle, try pairing it with fresh goat's cheese or white chocolate. 42% Alc./Vol. Kosher certified.

    $84. 99
    Bottle
    $1019.88 Dozen
    ABV: 14.9%
    Closure: Cork

    The 2022/2023 growing season in the Barossa Valley continued the region’s run of cool vintages, with near-record rainfall—53 days of rain in spring alone—delivering exceptional vineyard health. Warm but moderate summer conditions, with no extreme heat days, allowed for perfect ripening and flexibility in harvest timing. A late start to picking meant fruit arrived in the cool of autumn, with excellent condition and balance.

    The 2023 Harold underent wild fermentation for 9–11 days in stainless steel, with extraction managed via manual plunging, pigeage, delestage, and open-air pump-overs. Basket pressing preceded maturation in seasoned barrels, where malolactic fermentation completed. The wine shows an intense and distinctive nose of tobacco leaf, tamarind, celeriac, and white pepper, with a palate of dark cherry, orange rind, and Campari-like florals. Assertive tannins and spice frame its pure, energetic character, ensuring graceful aging potential.

    17% whole bunches and matured in French oak hogsheads (17% new). A light, bright ruby red. Attractive and pure fruited with aromas of vibrant red fruits, pressed flowers and a touch of spice. Equally good on the medium-bodied, energetic and very well-delineated palate. Silky and persistent tannins round out a lovely wine to drink now and over the next five to six years. Drink by 2029.

    The first thing I noticed upon opening the bottle was a ripe, confectionery-like aroma that filled the room. After a bit of breathing, red cherry, strawberry, plum and black tea came forth to round out the delightful nose, with some stemminess obvious once you inspected the wine a bit closer. It had a juicy, salivating quality to it that made it very easy to drink up the bright, silky liquid, and it was even a touch better on the second night. Like the Chardonnay, it’s just as nice as a sipper or with food.

    2023 Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay
    Huon Valley, Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
    $69. 99
    Bottle
    $839.88 Dozen
    ABV: 13.1%
    Closure: Stelvin

    Sailor Seeks Horse is a tiny vineyard that's one of Australia’s most southerly, located in the Huon valley in southern Tasmania. Owners Paul and Gilli Lipscombe have brought considerable vineyard and winemaking experience to this venture, and they've been producing outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay here for over a decade.

    In 2010 Paul and Gilli planted four Dijon clones of Chardonnay (95, 96, 76 & 277) in two sections of the vineyard over 2 hectares. Winemaking is tailored to the season, yet generally involves whole bunches pressed and allowed to 'hyperox' before settling for 12 hours in tank. It's then racked into 300l hogsheads of which 20% is new. Fermentation uses wild yeasts, generally no MLF, and the wine is then aged for 12 months with full lees.

    Other Reviews....
    There's a little more aromatic concentration this year methinks. Still resplendent in its ripe white peach and citrus fruits, flecked with spiced oatmeal, clotted cream, meadow wildflowers, grilled cashews, nougat, distant struck flint and nicely judged vanillin oak. Stony and nicely focused on the palate with a briny sapidity and impressive tension between fruit and line. It finishes savoury and very moreish and that is a big win. Drink 2025-2032.
