2022 Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Volnay Caillerets - Clos des 60 Ouvrees Premier Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$299. 00
Bottle
$3588.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
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+.

Other Reviews....
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+.

2022 Domaine de la Vougeraie Beaune Les Greves Premier Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$190. 00
Bottle
$2280.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
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.

2022 Domaine de la Vougeraie Corton Le Clos du Roi Grand Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$435. 00
Bottle
$5220.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
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+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
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.

1981 The Macallan 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND

Bottle
$83988.00 Dozen

ABV: 43%

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

A very rare Macallan vintage 18 year old. Packaged in the round cylinder instead of the square white boxes makes it all the more unusual. 43% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews...
[1980 vintage tasted] Colour: full amber (on the right - the new one's on the left. Colour consistency?) Nose: much more sherried than the new one, that’s for sure. Wine, orange peel, chocolate, wood… Somewhat more tannic (cocoa). Extremely classic but not too complex – less complex than most 18 yo distilled in the seventies, I’d say. It gets quite smoky and even sort of peaty after a moment. Hints of hot caramel, fresh vanilla, butterscotch, light tobacco (Virginia). Even some incense develops after a few minutes. Very nice, that’s for sure… Mouth: oh! Nice! So much bolder and richer than the new one! Creamy, on apricot syrup, quince syrup, orange marmalade, sweet white wine… It’s really like a fruit jam! I’ll try it for breakfast… Yet, it’s perhaps not as thrilling as some of his older brothers, but it sure sends the new one back to school. Hints of smoke, cake, cinnamon, aniseed. Again and again, a classic, lacking just a little oomph. 87 points - whiskyfun.com

Nikka's Yoichi 10 year old was re-released in 2022 after being discontinued since 2015. It's still in very limited amounts (only 9000 bottles per year, after such a long absence). In comparison, the new release sees a packaging update and is chill-filtered while its predecessor wasn’t. Reported to be Bourbon barrel matured, the style is fruity, medium bodied, gently spicy and overall, slightly restrained. 45% Alc./Vol.

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

There have been dozens of these Glen Moray's celebrating Scotland's historic Highland Regiments, many of the older ones in tin canisters. This expression looks to be a more recent release and has been aged for at least 16 years before being bottled at 40% alc./Vol.

Other reviews....
Rather a shame that they keep bottling a 16 yo at 40% vol. Now, it’s at 50€ a skittle in France. Colour: gold. Nose: it hasn’t got the 10’s fresher vibrancy, and I’m finding rather more buttery, although it does get nicely citrusy and golden-syrupy after a few seconds. I quite like these notes of warm hay and pastries! Lavender and leather honeys. Mouth: look, I think this is very good. Nice lemony/bready arrival, then walnuts, an unexpected touch of salt, and a little fudge. Orange blossom water. Finish: short/medium, fudge-y, then spicier. Cinnamon cake. Dry aftertaste (tea). Comments: it’s got the style and the quality of some ueber-blend. Royal Salute and such. So, almost a bargain! 84 points - whiskyfun.com

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.

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!

The 2024 Woodcutter's Rosé is 100% Mataro (Mourvèdre, for those not in Australia or Portugal), and the wine conveys earthy richness and density endemic to the variety. This is ripe and full, with flowers and red fruit on the nose and an array of brick dust, sandalwood, hung deli meat and crushed rocks through the finish. The wine was matured in a combination of stainless steel (70%) and old oak for three months. Strawberry, mulberry and blood plum complete the fruit profile. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

As usual including some declassified premier cru fruit, Glantenay's 2022 Volnay Village wafts from the glass with aromas of rose petals, sweet berries and cherries, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and suave palate that's layered, pure and harmoniously balanced.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 19, 2024)
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.
92-93 points
William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 19, 2024)
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.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 19, 2024)
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.

Aromas of raspberries, red plums, rose petals and spices introduce the 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets, a medium to full-bodied, pure and ethereal wine with an elegantly textural attack that segues into a vibrant core of fruit that's framed by supple, almost melting tannins, concluding with a saline finish.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 19, 2024)
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.

From the oldest vines at the Domaine planted in 1902, the 2022 Pommard Les Saucilles 1er Cru is blended with around 30% whole bunches. The attractive nose offers blackberry, wild strawberry, crushed stone and light briny scents evoking images of the sea. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red and black fruit. Fresh and vibrant, yet there is a gracefulness here that I haven't seen in recent vintages. Tender on the finish yet with no shortchanging of fruit. Excellent. Drink 2026-2046.

Whole-bunch pressed, settled overnight and racked to French barriques (38% new) the next day. Some mlf depending on the batch.

Bottle
$719.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

An exclusive travel retail release partially aged in Californian red wine casks adding a touch of cherry to the profile. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... The march of Basil Hayden whiskey releases continues with yet another special expression, this one starting with standard Basil Hayden bourbon, then finishing it in California red wine casks. There’s no information on the finishing process (or much else) beyond that descriptor, so let’s simply dive in. The dissonance here is immediate. The nose is sweet and fruity — some cherry and some strawberry — but undercut with an emphatic, doughy note of unbaked bread, almost yeasty. There are notes of vanilla and chocolate to be found, but they’re mild, quite tempered on the whole, as if something is keeping them in check. The palate shifts the picture, to be sure. Here that doughy character reveals its darker, woodier underbelly, and red wine tannin quickly comes flooding into the picture. Bitter and pushy, a char-heavy note clings to the back of the throat, emerging notes of grape skins and cloves forcing those elements to double down. Things get even more hoary with time in glass, the red wine elements really beginning to dominate alongside notes of torched wood, toasted sesame seeds, and cabernet jelly. Despite glimpses of chocolate, vanilla, and even some toasted coconut along the way, the whiskey remains tough and tight on the finish. Fans of other Basil Hayden whiskeys won’t see much family resemblance here. - drinkhacker.com

Supple, light and fresh, this is an elegant Marlborough Pinot that finishes long and savoury.
Dark red in colour with black toned edges and a bright red hue. Drifting through the nostrils are a mix of sour to red cherries and winter strawberries infused with a mix of fresh herbs, earthy graphite like notes, stalk and spicy cedar. Supple, light and fresh in its feel across the elegant palate, flavours of red cherry and strawberry meld into a discreet back drop of forest floor, brambly cedar, subtle clove and spice. Seamlessly integrated, fine grained tannins with a long savoury finish that has a polished feel to it.

Alluring red cherries, fig hearts and lingonberry jam. Fallen autumn leaves and raw cacao beans. A smattering of orange bitters and apple skin. Densely packed, powdery tannins stand tall amongst the freshness of crunchy acidity. There is a pumice stone mineral quality and plenty of length and line. This is only beginning to hit its straps and will cellar well for another few years. Novum are bursting from the gates and taking charge. Drink by 2030.

Closure: Cork

Rich and dense yet refined, this classic blend combines the generosity of Shiraz with Cabernets structure.

Other Reviews……
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.
95 Points
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.

Fermented with a mixture of de-stemmed and whole bunches with maturation taking place in French oak barriques and puncheons for approximately 8 months.

Other Reviews….
Fruit off three vineyards: 65/25/10% Georgica at Red Hill/Stanley Road, Merricks/Robinson in Tuerong. Destemmed (bar 10% whole bunches in a separate fermenter), cold soak for a week and all gently-does-it before being pressed to French oak (mostly puncheons, 10% new, aged eight months); unfiltered. A note from Mike Symons adds, "one barrel was a bit leesy hence clarity is not perfect, maybe also reflective of my eyesight when racking". Ah, how I have missed you. Nothing wrong with the clarity – this is a light garnet hue. Lots of twiggy/bunchy fragrance and flavour, red and morello cherries, Campari, roasted tomatoes, a bit of exotica with joss sticks and rosewood, balsam fir, too. You have to dig the strong bunchy character to get into this. The palate is lighter framed, yet sinewy tannins and perky acidity work together. Drink 2024-2031.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
A blend of Georgica 65% (Red Hill), Robinson 10% (Tuerong) and Stanley Road 25% (Merricks). Mike Symons talks about his relationship with Will Byron (hot) and Barney Flanders (less hot, but kind of hot), who all help each other out a bit with little fruit parcels they all like. A fruit-loving MP triumvirate here, of sorts. This gets 10% whole bunch, and 10% new oak.
This is a spicy and frisky sort of wine. Strawberry, cherry, smoked paprika and red capsicum, plenty of spice (cardamom in particular), some mint and floral top notes. It’s quite tangy and lively, with a cool spicy feel to it, poached strawberry, a lick of graphite tannin and a bright finish of good length. You have to like them a little more sappy, but it’s good in that style. Drink 2024-2030.

Textbook Argentina Malbec that features a gorgeous combination of juicy rich fruit and a fresh feel.
Nicola Catena planted his first Malbec vineyard in Mendoza in 1902 and today the estate is run by Nicholás Catena and his daughter Laura. Malbec continues to be the estate's focus and the winery's pristine vineyards lie at the base of the Andes on soils of sand, lime and stone at altitudes between 920 and 1120 metres above sea level. Over the last 20 years, the fastidious vineyard work of Nicholas and Laura has paid dividends and Catena Zapata is now one of Argentina's most famous estates.
Impenetrable inky black dark purple colour with a bright dark purple hue. Captivating aromas of violet, blueberry, plum and red liquorice fly out of the glass complimented by some cassis, vanillin cedar, light earth and spicy dried herb notes. Juicy ripe blueberry, plum, dark cherry and liquorice fruits caress the mid weighted palate which is beautifully framed by fine grained tannins and a delightful freshness. Spicy vanillin cedar, dried herb and spice elements extend across the back half. Energetically youthful it has a long refined finish that’s layered with moreish blue fruit.

The 2021 Malbec Catena Alta comprises 70% sourced from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley and the remaining portion from Luján and Maipú. Aged for up to 18 months in French oak barrels, both new and used, this purple wine reveals aromas of plums and cherries alongside hints of lavender and violets, all atop a subtle cedar layer. Dry and juicy, the supple and velvety tannins are complemented by a nimble flow, resulting in a mildly structured red with a flavorful, lasting finish. If there is a key in Mendoza Malbec, meaning piecing together terroirs to enhance complexity, this bottle might be the example. Drink 2024-2038.

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+

2022 Chateau d'Yquem (375ml) Pre-Arrival Offer

Sauternes, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$399. 00
Bottle
$4788.00 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.

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.

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.

Margaret River, Western Australia, AUSTRALIA
$37. 99
Bottle
$455.88 Dozen

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

ABV: 13.8%

Closure: Stelvin

A beautifully structured and very stylish Bordeaux styled blend.
A blend of 44% Malbec, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Petit Verdot matured for 16 months in French oak barriques of which 35% were new. Midnight black heart with a dark red black tinged hue. Streaming out of the glass are elevated red to black currant and mulberry scents which are trailed by hints of black olive, cedary tobacco notes, earth and bay leaf. The concentrated medium bodied palate carries rich blackcurrant and mulberry fruits over a bed of subtle liquorice, vanillin cedar, tobacco, earthy black olive and spicy bay leaf accents. Refined in its feel it possesses a solid tannin structure and a long finish that shows great definition and poise.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

It's an unusual combination, but oh, how it works. This wine from the cooler '21 vintage is one of the best. I like its restraint and poise which is achieved without compromising the deeply concentrated juicy fruity intensity. Lovely red fruit mix emerges with a juicy raspberry and rhubarb pie character. Perfectly balanced and perfectly integrated. Cellar 18 years.

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.

Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

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

ABV: 15.5%

Closure: Stelvin

A rich and full yet surprising bright, crunchy Burgundy.
Aged in French oak barrels (20% new) for a period of 17 months. Impenetrable inky black heart with a very deep dark red black tinged hue. Heady black cherry, black raspberry and liquorice scents waft through the nostrils followed by some vanillin cedar, scorched earth and spice.
Rich and full yet also very bright, freshly crushed dark to black cherry and dark raspberry fruits fill the mouth. Some ripe strawberry, scorched earth and spice characters ensue. Lending a crunchy feel to what is otherwise an opulent Burgundy is lively acidity. Fine grained tannins with a very energised and fruity conclusion.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Other Reviews…..
From a 1.52ha vineyard near the village facing east and south. The wine ferments for two weeks with a modest inclusion of whole clusters prior to ageing in cask (20% new). The result has a bright pomegranate and red cherry fruit, with a menthol edge on the nose. There is a hint of reduction on the nose and lighter body on the palate than the other premiers crus, with bright acidity and a moderate finish. Approachable soon. Drink 2023-2035.

This seems to be a very good JB Riesling. Lemongrass, lime leaf, lime, a bit floral and spicy, with a distinct gin and tonic bite and some bathtime fun perfume. It has a powdery texture, a crisp and lively character, blackcurrant and lavender, and pretty bloody good length. Maybe there’s a little bit of ruggedness to it, but gee, it’s frisky and delicious. Drink 2024-2032+
