2019 Niepoort Late Bottled Vintage Port (375ml)

Douro Valley, PORTUGAL
$37. 99
Bottle
$455.88 Dozen

ABV: 19.5%

Closure: Cork

Late Bottled Vintage Port is a from a single year, aged for 4-6 years in old oak casks (opposed to Vintage that ages 2-3).
LBV fills the gap between the rubies and the vintage ports since a Ruby Port should be drunk quite young and a great Vintage Port may need 15 to 20 years to really open up and show its splendour. Unfiltered, with very good concentration and tons of spice. Will develop beautifully over several years.
Other Reviews.....
The 2019 Late Bottled Vintage Port is unfiltered and closed with a cork, the serious style of this category, from a very good year in the style of 2005 or 2015 that can age for decades. It has 100 grams of sugar and is velvety and really a mini Vintage Port, aged for a bit longer in cask (but short for the category) and bottled in its fourth year. It's still tannic and a bit closed, with the tannin is cushioning the sweetness. It could be drunk now but should be a lot more complex with time in bottle. It has balance with a big structure, able to age for a long time. 2019 was a very complete year for Port. They produced 100,000 bottles of this. It was bottled in 2023

Classic left bank cabernet sauvignon. Left bank of the Para River that is, in the famed subregion of Dorrien. Deep magenta/crimson with fruit aromas of plush blackberry, black cherry and blackcurrant. Nary a herbaceous note to be found. It's all layered spice, licorice, créme de cassis, kirsch, tobacco pouch and softly spoken cedar tones. Weighty and wonderfully ripe and silken, tannins superfine and melting back into the black fruits and finishing long, fruit pure with a slightly savoury lean. Drink by 2040.

A wonderfully fragrant pinot noir showing fruit tones of red cherry, raspberry and nectarine fruits with hints of exotic spice, red licorice, amaro herbs, pressed wildflowers, celery salt and twiggy bits and pieces. More of the same on the palate, with some dried meat nuance, tight, sapid acidity and fine, silty tannins. Spacious too. Great drinking. Drink by 2035.

The sum of its parts as fruit comes off several vineyards. Pour away to enjoy the mélange of citrus, white nectarine, ginger spice, and mouth-watering sulphides and acidity. It’s juicy and tangy with a lean-ish palate, although it’s given some weight with nutty lees and a layer of creaminess. Drink by 2030.

Loaded Barrel Australian Rye Whisky (500ml)

Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$84. 99
Bottle
$1019.88 Dozen

ABV: 46.2%

Made from a hybrid mash of Australian heritage rye and single-origin barley, Loaded Barrel's rye is matured in virgin Serbian oak and customised virgin American oak direct from Kentucky. Finishing takes place in a cold-smoked ex red-wine barrel for additional wood-driven complexity. The tasting notes on the label are spot on: Smoked applewood, toffee and spice are beautifully expressed; a surge of sugars slightly flattens the finish, shifting focus from the typically spicy grain character; regardless, this has been skilfully handled and should appeal to both rye and malt drinkers. Surprisingly good for a new distillery, in a sweeter style that also integrates nicely with ice. 46.2 % Alc./Vol.
Notes from the producers... The aroma lures you in with vanilla filled smoke, followed with a subtle rye kick. On the palate the taste begins with classic single malt notes of oak-driven vanilla and toffee, closely followed by rye whisky’s signature spice. This is quickly mellowed by smooth applewood smoke that’s not overpowering, finishing with Christmas spices that linger on the tongue until your next sip.

2022 Jean Foillard Fleurie

Beaujolais, FRANCE
$115. 00
Bottle
$1380.00 Dozen

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork

Since legendary US importer Kermit Lynch dubbed them the Gang of Four in the 1980's, wine collectors the world over have been searching for the precious few bottles of Beaujolais from Jean Foillard, Marcel Lapierre, Guy Breton, and Jean-Paul Thévenet. Each of these producers were inspired by the natural wine growing and wine making methods of local hero Jules Chauvet. Their aim is to help the unique Beaujolais terroir express itself with minimal intervention, harnessing old vines farmed with organic practices, fermentation with natural yeasts, along with limited use of sulphur. Together they have raised not only the profile of the region, but demonstrated that Beaujolais is more than just 'Nouveau' and can indeed produce meaningful, complex and wonderful wines.
Along with his son Alex, Jean Foillard farms nearly fourteen hectares of vines planted mainly on the famed slopes of the Côte du Py in Morgon. As probably the most dependable of the Gang of Four, the wines of Jean Foillard are deep, structured, and complex, with a velvety lushness that makes them irresistible when young despite their aging potential. The wines are raised in older barrels sourced from top estates in Burgundy, including those from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, with the resulting efforts perhaps showing more in common with Chambolle-Musigny than what we've come to expect from 'regular' Beaujolais.
Other Reviews....
The 2022 Fleurie has a beautifully defined nose with wonderful mineralité like Foillard's other cuvées, surfeited with energy. There’s real purity and panache. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of mulberry on the entry and fine depth, lightly spiced with a vibrant and persistent finish tinged with curry leaf. This is a Fleurie from the top drawer. Excellent. Drink 2026-2036.

Aerstone Land Cask 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Other reviews... This was launched as a ‘budget’ single malt for Tesco. It’s good that it would come with an age statement, but the ABV screams ‘cheapo’. It is, in fact, one of the several styles made at Ailsa Bay at Girvan. Let’s see… Colour: light gold. Nose: some farmy peat, a little mud, some grist and a touch of vanillin. Well, this baby does not tear you apart, that’s good. In a way. Mouth: extremely light, with some smoke, a touch of apple and lemon, notes of smoked ham, and perhaps a touch of iodine. There is something of the lightest Laphroaig 10s – not the current production mind you. Frustratingly light body. Finish: short, leaving a feeling of smoked water. Comments: peat is good but when there’s only peat (plus a little barley), that’s not quite enough. A little disappointing, typical 75-pointer in my book, hope they’ll also do a kind of high-proof version, without dropping the age statement. 75 points - whiskyfun.com

Aerstone Sea Cask 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

SCOTLAND
$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Other reviews... This should be Ailsa Bay as well, but not at the price of Ailsa Bay. What’s a sea cask by the way? Did they use floated wood? Stored this on an island? On some shore? Now let’s not forget one of the industry’s talking points, ‘Scotland is integrally coastal’. Aye aye. Colour: light gold. Nose: I like this better. It’s a fine, balanced, easy malt whisky, on barley, vanilla, bread and caraway/nutmeg. I always like it when it’s this close to bread and barley, even when it’s not complex. Mouth: yes, it’s pretty pleasant, what a shame that it hasn’t got much watts, and that it is dragging itself along with little enthusiasm. Wee touches of brine, that’s nice – is that the ‘sea’ part? Finish: short, but really okay as far as flavours are concerned. Comments: good potential here. 43% would really be welcome. 79 points - whiskyfun.com

2023 Giant Steps Tarraford Vineyard Chardonnay

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$84. 99
Bottle
$1019.88 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Other Reviews....
Planted on a cool, south-facing slope in Tarrawarra. Whole-bunch pressed and barrel fermented in seasoned French puncheons and one ceramic egg. A vibrant green gold. Immediately appealing with its aromas of stone fruits, yellow apple, some lemon confiture and a touch of brine. Chalky textured, slippery and with a certain openness but finely detailed and structured too. Grapefruit pithy on the long, beautifully balanced finish. Drink 2024-2030.

Philip Rich - James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
A bright, sunny personality is underlined by bright golden colour and lively tropical notes atop a pithy citrus body. It’s an honest reflection of site – mostly clone P58 Chardonnay planted at 100m elevation along south- and east-facing slopes on grey clay loam – with the cool location providing lively acidity that ensures good intensity and drive. Drink 2024 - 2032.

David Sly - Decanter
Tarraford is the lowest and theoretically the warmest of Giant Steps single vineyard sites, though altitude isn’t everything when it comes to temperature. I used to live across the road from a steep, hillside vineyard where it was noticeably warmer at the top than it was at the bottom, a phenomenon known as temperature inversion, I believe. I digress.
I looked at this over the course of 24 hours and over that time the wine’s grapefruit characters became more and more dominant. That’s a very good thing. It also tastes of custard apples, cedar-spice, pear and white peach, a pistachio ice-cream character in there too, but the drive of grapefruit here is the wave on which everything else surfs. Tip top release. Well fruited but then dry and pebbly to close. Drink 2024 - 2032+

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front
Majority P58 clone. White grapefruit, winter melon and lemongrass. Blue stone, chalk and raw pancake batter. Lemon aspen and lilly pilly fruit. The wine has a coolness, not just in its refreshing quality but in its textural feel. Like a coconut milk based iced tea. Long lines of natural and unforced acidity, with power but no trace of heft. Raw cashew on the finish.The wine is shaped like an acute triangle with its tapering acidity funnelled down the palate. In the glass on the day, this is the wine that was drinking at its best now with plenty of precision and detail. Tarraford has its dedicated fans and this is one of the best yet. Drink now or cellar for 5 years or so and serve with pan seaweed King George whiting fillets.

2023 Giant Steps Sexton Vineyard Pinot Noir

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$94. 99
Bottle
$1139.88 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Other Reviews....
From the Sexton vineyard in Gruyere; 10% whole bunches and matured nine months in French barriques (25% new). A deep ruby. Aromas of kirsch, damson plums, licorice root and spices; this heady, concentrated wine has a lot of meat on the bones, with ripe, persistent tannins boding well for the future. A great contrast to the more delicate Giant Steps wines such as Bastard Hill and Primavera. Drink 2024-2030.
97 Points
Philip Rich - James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
A longer ripening period during the 2023 vintage has amplified aromas, with shades of violet at the edge of ripe blood plum and dark cherry. The ripeness is also reflected in bright, luscious blood plum and dark cherry flavours in the front palate; while the combination of MV6, G5V15 and Abel clones provides a keen savoury note, with earthy bite and graphite notes. Chewy tannins give a moreish finish to a wine that already appears resolved and complete. Drink 2024 - 2032.

The Sexton vineyard was planted in 1997. It’s a north-facing, exposed site.
It might be north-facing and exposed but there’s a coolness to this release. It tastes of forest berries and boysenberries with toast and sprays of alpine herbs. It’s not overtly minty but it has that cooling feel. There’s a sweetness to the spice and a general impression of completeness, the latter aided by a full suite of ripe, grainy, meaty tannin. The finish of this wine has a fan to it; forever quality’s best marker. Drink 2027 - 2033+
94+ Points
Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front
The final blend of this wine is around 21% whole bunch fermented. A quiet wine in the glass that needs a bit of time before it reveals itself, be patient as this wine unfurls and gains momentum. It is deeply pigmented in garnet hues and shows black raspberries, cherries and rose petals. Woodsy herbs like rosemary stem, thyme, clove and sesame. Front to middle palate tannins are grainy and astute. There are granite-like immoveable foundations to this wine that will allow it to live a long time. So too is there significant turbidity and viscosity to this wine. Drink now or cellar for 8 years. A perfect wine for blackened skinned cod.

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Other Reviews....
Made from a 50/50% blend of Gingin and Bernard clones planted between 100 and 200m in Gruyere. Whole-bunch pressed to French puncheons (25% new oak) with 15% mlf. Right now, this is the most salivating and seductive of Giant Step's superb array of single-vineyard chardonnays from '23. Perfectly ripened white peach, pear and some marine scents lead onto the palate, which is gently textured, saline and structured. The finish is energetic, nutty and long. Drink 2024-2030.

Philip Rich - James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
A cold, wet spring and cooler summer has given power and drive to bright, lively flavours from the high-elevation (200m) Sexton Vineyard. Lifted aromas show dark tones of exotic tropical fruits – grilled pineapple, yuzu and guava – with some fresh grated ginger. The palate entry is focused and tightly bound, although this taut and proud wine benefits from 20% malolactic fermentation and some battonage post-fermentation to add roundness to the mouthfeel. It has exuberance to match its serious power and drive. Drink 2024 - 2032.
96 Points
David Sly - Decanter
There’s genuine intensity of chardonnay fruit flavour here and a keen bite that goes with it. Sweet pear, white peach and citrus characters lead to a finish of green pineapple, grapefruit and brine, every step along the way both deliberate and powerful. No meanderings allowed here. Nougat oak teams it all seamlessly together, the finish long and resounding. General view would be that this is good to drink now but for me it needs at least another year in bottle. Drink 2025 - 2032+

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front
The north facing Sexton vineyard planted in late 90’s is Giant Steps home base. In the planted 30Ha of chardonnay, Mel Chester has her pick of the patchwork vineyard pulling from Gingin, Mendoza and Bernard clones. Here we see about 50% Gingin. This wine has character. You cannot or will ever say it’s a wallflower. Driven by its intensity of orchard fruit, nectarine and white peach, backed by some of the spiciest back up singers. Turmeric, curry leaf, dandelion and cumin. It’s muscular, powerful and yet graceful, like the stride of an outside centre in rugby, Mark Ella, perhaps. A hint of churned butter and glace pineapple on the finish. Acidity hums along nicely. There is something for everyone’s palate here and this vintage is singing in perfect harmony. Drink now and will cellar well upwards of 8 years. This would be a belter served with homemade cornbread and fried chicken.

Complex aromas of lemon curd, candied lime zest, mandarins and flint. The palate is medium-bodied with bright acidity, giving notes of orange peel, hazelnuts, grapefruit pith, pralines and pastry. Very polished and refined with an underlying tension. Delicious. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Loaded Barrel Single Malt Australian Whisky (500ml)

Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 43%

Conceived in 2018 in Rowville, South East Melbourne, Loaded Barrel started as a passion project of Bob Wilhelma's with a goal to create a family legacy, but more importantly, damn good whisky and gin. In his own words, "the stuff you dream of drinking as you watch your clock slowly tick down to 5pm on a weekday." Their spirits are distilled in a sleek custom-made pot-still with a tall tapered neck and an inclined lyne arm allowing a large amount of passive reflux resulting in a light, fruity, easy-to-drink distillate. The single malt is described as "...a new-classic: a whisky that uses customised virgin American oak barrels for that vanilla & toffee sweetness, finished in ex-sherry casks for an ending of plum and dark berry that lingers on the tongue." High resonance Solfeggio frequencies, mostly 528Hz are played to help with the mellowing process (they concede that might be wasting their time). If the flavours aren't seamlessly integrated just yet, they're not far off. The palate is rich and malty with a fruitiness like dried apricots or fruit cake picked up from the sherry casks; beneath that, virgin oak kicks in an undercurrent of vanilla and light caramels. At 43% it's mouth-filling, plus there's a poise and ease of drinkability rarely found in young Aussie whisky. So much character now, with time and further tweaking this distillery is only going to get better. At the asking price it's already one of the country's best values.

Matured in 500L puncheons for 8 months of which 17% was new oak. Magenta, where red and purple meet. This junction is where the wine fits. Violet and lavender perfume with red cherries and blackberries. Boysenberry and two tone mulberry. Plums skin and sangria. A base note of allspice and lifted sage leaf. Fruit doubles down on the palate with briary tones replaced with blackcurrant and blueberries. Befitting dusty tannins and once again a wine that refreshes the palate on the finish. A smart wine.

Blind Tiger Navy Strength Organic Gin (700ml)

Renmark, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 59.9%

During the early years of the Royal British Navy there existed no method for assessing the alcohol content of spirits or any other alcoholic drink. This posed a particular challenge, as they needed to ensure that any volume of alcohol transported aboard a ship would ignite if the cask were damaged during combat. While it may seem peculiar, in times when cannonballs and muskets were in use, damp gunpowder could prove fatal in battle. Therefore, it was imperative that any spilled spirit retained sufficient flammability to allow the use of the powder. To determine this, a test was conducted by blending a small amount of the spirit with gunpowder to create a paste, which was then ignited. If the mixture burned, it was deemed to be 100 degrees proof.
Blind Tiger Navy Strength Organic Gin is distilled in the same small batch manner as all gins in the Blind Tiger Organic Gin range but is bottled at the much higher strength, in fact, at the time of writing, it's the highest of any Navy Strength Gin in Australia, and as such displays concentrated, pungent juniper and lime citrus aroma on first pour. These open to intense citrus and spice character of the other botanicals with time. When neat, it is peppery hot on the palate and has a drying finish at this higher alcohol content, just a drop of water in a glass sees the spirit open up and reveal its exotic character. Guarantees a richly flavoured G&T when mixed. 59.9% Alc./Vol.

2021 Yering Station Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$130. 00
Bottle
$1560.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.9%

Closure: Stelvin

When the Scottish-born Ryrie brothers planted vines in 1838, their land, named ‘Yering’ by the First Nations People, became Victoria’s first vineyard. In 1996, the Rathbone family purchased Yering Station and transformed it into a regional icon. The vines are meticulously managed using precision viticulture technology and careful handwork to ensure the highest quality fruit reaches the winery and, ultimately, the bottle.
Their flagship "Reserve" Cabernet Sauvignon is produced only in the best years, using the finest parcels of fruit. The Reserve wines represent the pinnacle of their efforts, capturing the essence of variety, viticulture, location, season, and winemaking in its purest form.
Other Reviews....
The well-composed 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve offers up punchy aromas of violets and cassis, with clay tones. Dry, midweight and shapely, a deep well of structural tannins provides impressive definition to the long, savory finish, retaining that composure throughout. Drink 2027 - 2035.

98/2% cabernet sauvignon/merlot matured in 225L French barriques (17% new) for 15 months. A bright, medium crimson red. An impressive bouquet with dark cherry, blackcurrant, pencil box and violet scents. Impeccably balanced, this medium- to full-bodied and elegant wine has a good depth of fruit and excellent structure. The tannins are fine, gently chewy and persistent, and this will continue to evolve and become more complex over the next decade or so. Drink 2022 - 2035.

Philip Rich - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
A solid, compact, medium-bodied and highly savory expression. Redcurrants, cassis, strewn garden herbs, mulch and olives, smeared across the sappy, finely appointed cedar edges that compress the gently leafy finish. A good luncheon claret sort of wine. Screw cap. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Reserve is very appealing as it delivers energetic red and dark cherry aromas, with a gentle dusting of violets and dried herbs. Fleshy and mouth-filling, there is a hearty core of earthy/mushroom flavors and old spices, al-dente tannins providing some support. Gravelly minerality adds a savory counterpoint that lingers through to the finish. This needs at least a couple of years to settle. Drink 2025 - 2031.

Brendan Hawker’s first beginning-to-end reserve pinot. A 70/30% split of MV6/Abel clones; 5% whole bunches and matured in 500L French puncheons (15% new). A bright, deep-ish crimson purple. Darkly fruited and immediately seductive with its aromas of black raspberries, dark cherry, spice and discreet oak. There's an old-vine creaminess on the palate and you barely notice the wine's firm, velvety and persistent tannins. It's great now and it'll be great in 10 years. Drink 2022 - 2032.

Philip Rich - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
This is a fine regional pinot, brimming with red cherry, bergamot, peony and notes of crushed musk. The tannins, sinuous, shapely and pliant across the medium-bodied palate, meld effortlessly with a ping of cinnamon oak. A beautifully sculpted pinot, to be rewarded. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The well-proportioned 2021 Shiraz Viognier Reserve delivers serious and intense aromas of old leather, white pepper and dark cherry, with aged-meat complexity. It's a midweight and focused expression, offering up layers of savory, earthy flavors. The tannins are quite well integrated, already suggesting this will be best enjoyed over the medium term.

Co-fermented with 2% viognier and matured for 15 months in 21% new French barriques and puncheons. A deep-ish crimson ruby. Just so fragrant with its aromas of red and blue fruits, florals, allspice and a hint of incense. This medium-bodied and beautifully poised wine caresses the palate before finishing with persistent well-knit tannins that are a good reminder that, as delicious as this is now, it's also been built to last. Drink 2022 - 2032.

The Carr Vineyard is the nexus of this beautifully etched, medium-bodied Reserve, considerably more shapely and refined than I recall from past experiences. There is clear attention paid to the bow of tannin, lithe, gently edgy and nicely frisky, promoting a gush of pepper, juniper and clove across the finish, infusing the panoply of blue fruits with savoriness over obvious fruit sweetness. Nicely done. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Other Reviews…..
Wonderful season in the Yarra Valley, so little surprise that a wine of this class emerges. It’s sourced from two vineyards – at Yering Station and Coldstream and naturally fermented in 500L French oak puncheons. The power of the Mendoza clone is immediately evident on the nose and reinforced on the palate with beautiful floral notes and a savoury element bringing complexity. The palate combines elegance and refinement with the power of that Mendoza clone, delivering to a super long palate. Exceptional wine. Drink 2023-2035.

The 2021 Chardonnay Reserve is a concentrated yet understated style of Australian Chardonnay. It immediately delivers with detailed aromas of nectarine, lanolin and grapefruit, underpinned by a savory line of spicy oak and flint. That savory feel holds through to a complex yet elegant palate, refreshing acidity driving a lengthy, fine, gently phenolic finish. Drink 2027 - 2038.

Angus Hughson - Antonio Galloni's Vinous
An average vine age of 20 years. Barrel fermented in 500L barrels (20% new) with 10 months in barrel and another five months in tank with lees. A bright green gold. With its aromas of white peach, tangerine oil, some toasted hazelnuts and a little vanilla bean, this has immediate appeal. Equally engaging on the gently fleshy, impeccably balanced and very long palate. A wine to drink and enjoy now and over the next five to seven years. Drink by 2028.

Stéphane Tissot is a tireless and vigorous promoter of individual sites and natural wines. He brings technological experience from his work in Australia and South Africa, and combines this with his ruthless yield reduction philosophy and very serious 'small batch' winemaking which is carried out as naturally as possible. Tissot plants mostly on clay and limestone, all sites are farmed biodynamically and yields are kept low, averaging only 30 h/l per hectare. Ferments are allowed to commence naturally and the still wines are bottled without filtration and little or no SO2 is added across the board. Vibrancy and fruit presence is a signature across all his wines. Given Stéphane is constantly experimenting and obsessively seeking improvements; he is at the forefront of the Jura revolution and produces terroir-driven wines of depth, intensity, interest and undeniable quality.
These are the best Trousseau bunches, selected and fermented in open fermenters before being aged in 225 litre barrels, much like the red wines of Burgundy.
Other Reviews....
The bottled 2022 Trousseau Singulier was harvested a little later and also destemmed by hand, pressed and put into 600-liter barrels, but unlike Poulsard that likes cold, Trousseau likes heat. Sixty percent of the volume was in open-top tanks with one month of maceration, and the rest was in closed tanks with a maceration of three months. This is earthier, toasty and with notes of dry hay and straw, reflecting a warm vintage with dry tannins. It finishes with some hardness that gives it rusticity. Drink 2025-2030.

La Mailloche has a gentle east aspect and very degraded soils of Liassic clay. Another wine with good firmness and seductive weight with some nice bitterness.
Other Reviews....
The bottled 2021 La Mailloche Chardonnay, from a vintage that was challenging for the grape, showed really well. It has a moderate 13% alcohol and is very clean, with no reduction. It was cropped from a very cold year with small yields and aged for two years in barrique. It has vibrant acidity and a citrus character, sharper and fresher. As a comparison, he uncorked a bottle from 2005, which showed a profile of older Chardonnay, with a golden color, reductive and flinty, very stony, super austere and chalky. It is incredibly savory and delicious, with the bitterness that gives freshness, even in a warm vintage. It's still fresh. Drink 2024-2032.

The low-yielding biodynamic Savagnin grapes for these Vin Jaunes are hand-picked and the juice fermented in steel tanks. The mostly clay soils give wines of higher acidity (whereas limestone gives less acidity and more minerality), and strong backbone. After the primary fermentation the wine is part-filled (around 85%) into old barrels (228 lt. usually) and a 'flor' yeast veil or 'voile' develops on the surface of the wine, protecting it from oxidation and adding complex aromas and flavours to the wine. The barrels are stored in a cool but 'airy' cellar (not underground) for around 6-7 years so the dryer atmosphere causes the evaporation of water and therefore concentration of flavours and reduction of the wine volume. In fact, usually only 620ml. (the size of a Vin Jaune bottle) remains from a litre. This is very expensive wine to make, as not only is there a huge volume loss, but often some barrels need to be culled.
Chateau Chalon is no doubt the greatest site in the Jura for making Vin Jaune, the Grand Cru if you will, and produces wines with a touch more finesse than the other single site Vin Jaune in this collection.
Other Reviews....
Vin Jaune is a very small percentage of the winery's production, as they only make some 7,000 bottles (clavelin) of it per year. It's a scarce and rare wine, which, from the best terroirs, shows vibrant and complex, with power and finesse. That is the case of the 2016 Château Chalon, which has great concentration, even in a lighter vintage, and reflects the more elegant profile of the Lias soils and keeps the citrusy aromas and flavors. It's fresh, expressive, floral and herbal, with character, incisive and pungent. The aging potential of these wines has been proven over the years, and he is experimenting with longer élevage... Drink 2024-2045.

Same as with the Les Bruyères Vin Jaune, the bottle of the 2016 La Mailloche Vin Jaune had also been open for two weeks, but in this case, the wine was pristine and there was no noticeable oxidation from the contact with air. The wine kept an alcohol level of 14.5% and was singing, with a spicy and salty nose that made me think of French charcuterie (saucisson!), quite rare, even if by then I was already quite hungry. It's elegant and fine-boned. It's more and more evident than La Mailloche is a great terroir capable of producing different styles of wine. Drink 2024-2044.

Hellyers Road Distillery 7 Year Old Single Peated Malt Australian Whisky (700ml)

Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 46.2%

Carrying a decent age statement for an Australian whisky, this is a slightly different expression to Hellyer's early peated efforts. The smoke is perhaps uniquely Tasmanian, being vaguely herbal or more like a distant, damp campfire than the kind of sweet peat-reek you'd expect from a smokey Highlander or traditional Islay. The distillery's grassy-papaya character is evident, the phenols are merely suggested, but combined with an approachable mouthfeel it adds up to an easy introductory style with minimal water heightening the experience. American oak matured. 46.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill-filtered.
Other reviews... The new flagship peated release from Hellyers is proudly seven years old, and I applaud them for being up-front about the age where many Aussie producers would be scared to put a single-digit number on the label. The fact is, seven years in Australia is a very long time to mature a whisky, well above industry standard, so they're right to celebrate the fact out loud. At just $149 a bottle, this competes directly with all but the cheapest Scottish imports. It holds its own, with restrained smoke and buttery, salted shortbread on the nose, woolshed in the summer woodiness and underripe orchard fruits. Very easy drinking with incredibly well-controlled alcohol and an easy, light finish. A fantastic example of how a Scottish style can be interpreted through an Australian lens. 93 points - James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
Notes from the producers... Nose - Upon the nose, sweet tea and brine notes tantalize the senses, followed by a delicate balance of sea salt, oyster shell, green leaf, and fresh bark. Subtle whispers of campfire embers intertwine with a hint of medicinal allure in the background. Palate - On the palate, a smooth and textural journey unfolds, with fresh peat leading the way alongside herbal tones, smoked leaf, and the essence of oyster. A touch of honey sweetness gracefully rounds out the palate, delivering a sophisticated richness that coats the senses with unparalleled elegance. Finish - As the journey culminates, a medium-length finish continues to enchant, resonating across the palate with effortless smoothness. Experience the perfect harmony of balance and refinement in this impeccably crafted peated single malt whisky.

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product not pictured.
In the American Oak Second Fill range, Sullivans Cove offer whiskies of maturity and finesse, drawn from casks seasoned by earlier spirit. Decades of slow ageing in these gentler barrels creates a delicate balance between vibrant fruit and malt character, soft vanilla, and mellow oak spice. In this example the nose needs coaxing to release a fruity aspect, in particular, dried pears, perfectly integrated with the oaky vanillas. The crisp, warming delivery shows a bit of that pickled ginger note that characterised early bottlings, but it's offset by a soft orchard fruitiness, almost like a young Calvados. The finish is subtle, medium-long, with gentle spices. Reveals the distillery's elegant side. 15ml sample.

Only 300 dozen made of this fascinating Coonawarra Shiraz. It hails from an unirrigated 1.5 acre block, planted in the early 1950s. Maturation was for 14 months in French oak, 20% new. Vibrant maroon in colour, this is a wine of depth and concentration. There are notes of dry herbs, bay leaves, chocolate, spices and black fruits backed by tightly wound quality oak which is integrating well. The palate exhibits a move to soy and darker chocolate with even a hint of vegemite. There is good focus through to a very fine silky tannins. It will drink well for a decade with ease. Drink 2023-2033.

Don Julio Rosado 100% Agave Tequila (700ml)

Jalisco, MEXICO
$260. 00
Bottle
$3120.00 Dozen

ABV: 40%

A reposado tequila finished for around four months in Ruby Port wine casks from the Douro wine region of Northern Portugal. The result is a deliciously unique tequila with a delicate pink hue and sweet notes of dried red fruit & caramel. Best enjoyed on the rocks or for a lighter, longer drink, add a splash of club soda and lemon garnish. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... If I was nosing this blind — that is, in an opaque glass — I would assume this was a blanco, as the agave is pungent and the Port finishing isn’t evident here at all.
The palate surprises further: While there’s a gentle berry sweetness on the palate, the predominant quality remains agave-forward, touched with a lacing of nougat and sweetness driven by candied nuts. A slight strawberry and cream character becomes more prevalent with time in glass, though notes of green pepper, ground white pepper, and a light rose petal note build over time. The finish sees the most reposado-like qualities of the tequila make their appearance, with elements of sesame seed and a hint of caramel in the mix. Where then is the Port? Port can have an massive influence on just about any spirit, but here it’s largely a no-show. I’m not even sure those gentle strawberry qualities have much if anything to do with the Port, but that’s an open question. At the very least, it doesn’t really resemble Port wine at any point in the experience. But hey, maybe that’s OK. If you like your reposados on the more exuberant side, and plenty do, this tequila will fit the bill perfectly. However, given the price tag, I think anyone would be forgiven for whishing they’d uncovered something a bit more unique and expressive of this special, unique finishing. So it goes. - drinkhacker.com

This takes deep-seated blackcurrant and mint flavours and injects them with long rakes of tannin. It feels profound from the first sip and it continues this impression all the way through to its super-long finish. Talk about impressive. The purity of the fruit, the integration of the (smoky) oak, the swagger of it; the confidence. You don't just drink this wine, you follow it. This is pretty much as good as it gets. Drink by 2049

Campbell Mattinson - James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
From vineyards on the famous red terra rossa soil in central Coonawarra, planted in 1985. After destemming, the grapes are pressed directly to barrel. The wine spends two years maturing in French oak (mostly), half of which is new. Only 220 dozen made. This is the team’s prestige release and made from barrel selection. An opaque maroon colour, there is serious power and intensity here. Notes of chocolate, tobacco leaf, new leather, warm earth, blackberries, soy and aniseed. Supple texture, very fine tannins, an exemplary structure. The palate sees some delicious blueberries emerge. The wine is nicely balanced with great length and is a twenty year proposition – really impressive. Drink 2023-2043.
