2019 Chateau Latour Pre-Arrival Offer

Pauillac, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$1499. 00
Bottle
$17988.00 Dozen

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork
As possibly the most consistent of the five First Growth properties, Chateau Latour is held in incredibly high esteem in the wine community. And while there have been rightfully some legendary wines made at this estate over their journey, since the purchase of the property by French billionaire François Pinault in 1993 the wines have been taken to an entirely new level. The next key step was to take greater ownership of their wine's release and distribution, moving away from wine futures following the 2011 vintage, and now Chateau Latour release wines only when they feel they are at the start of their drinking window.
Other Reviews....
The 2019 Latour is a profound wine in the making, and it will surely emerge as one of the most long-lived wines of the vintage, as well as one of the greatest. Unwinding in the glass with scents of rich cassis fruit, English walnuts, cigar wrapper, black truffle, loamy soil and violets, it’s full-bodied, layered and muscular, with huge depth at the core, ripe tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, seemingly interminable finish. Checking in at 14.1% alcohol, this prodigious Latour will require two decades to hit its stride, but it will be more than worth the wait. Drink 2036-2070.

William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Latour is every bit as impressive as it has always been. Silky and caressing on the palate, with exceptional balance, the 2019 has so much going on. Dark red fruit, new leather, spice and a kick of blood orange are some of the notes that build in the glass, but ultimately the 2019 impresses most with its textural finesse. There was a bit of rain during harvest, but that does not appear to have been much of an issue. The 2019 is a quintessentially modern Latour, a wine that deftly marries power with elegance. Yields came in at 45 hectoliters per hectare, quite a bit higher than the long-term average of 34 hectoliters per hectare. Drink 2029-2069.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Classic Pauillac darker currants, smoky tobacco, spicy wood, damp earth, and graphite all define the 2019 Château Latour, a ripe and approachable Latour that has more accessibility than many vintages while still possessing quintessential Latour character and depth. Blended from 92.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot and aged 18 months in new French oak, it's medium to full-bodied with a round, layered mouthfeel, beautiful, almost velvety tannins, and a tremendous finish. I'd happily drink a bottle today (don't tell anyone), yet it's going to benefit from 5-7 years of bottle age and keep for 50 years or more in fine form. Drink 2031-2081.

Dark blackcurrants with smokey tobacco, liquorice and slate. Cool straight away, fresh but so perfectly mouthfilling, not sweet like 2020, this is more cooling and fresh, blue fruit, black cherry, fleshy like fruit skin texture. Dark, I love the 2019s because they're more controlled and serious but so nuanced. To me this is how a great Pauillac can taste, serious, deep, classic Cabernet markers, lots of minerality in the flint and stoney aspects, strong tannins and a powerful, muscular structure with minty sides. An amazing Pauillac, this is really my style. Still so full of concentration and life, this will last forever. Drink 2030-2060.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter
Composed of 92.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7.5% Merlot, the 2019 Latour is deep garnet-purple in color. It comes barreling out of the glass with powerful notes of blackcurrant jelly, blackberry pie, and plum preserves, followed by suggestions of pencil shavings, cast-iron pan, and charcoal. The medium to full-bodied palate is exquisitely constructed with a myriad of very fine layers, supported by ripe, grainy tannins and beautiful tension, finishing epically long and mineral-laced. It's still very tightly wound and will require at least 5 to 7 more years in cellar, then should age gracefully for a good 50-years+.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW - The Wine Independant
Deep, dark, garnet in color, the wine is equally dark in its fruit, cigar wrapper, smoke, espresso, leaf, cedar, and spice profile. With elegance, power, firmness, and silkiness, the wine on the palate immediately cuts a wide swatch across your palate. All that regal, ripe, sweet, fruit and crushed gravel stick with you almost seamlessly for more than 50 seconds until you reach the endnote with its salty, mineral-driven kick in the endnote. This is a fabulous Latour that will age for decades. The wine was made from a blend of 92.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7.5% Merlot, 14.1% ABV. The Grand Vin was produced from only 36% of the harvest. Drink from 2030-2070.

2023 Domaine Laurent Tribut Chablis

Chablis, FRANCE
$135. 00
Bottle
$1620.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

When Laurent Tribut married Marie-Clotilde Dauvissat he joined one of Chablis' most famous winemaking families. René Dauvissat, Marie's father, gave the couple parcels of excellent sited Village Chablis and Premier Cru to establish Domaine Tribut. The small Domaine now has 7 hectares of vineyards. The Village Chablis is predominantly situated on Kimmeridgian soils adjacent to the Dauvissat vineyards. Laurent, a humble and good-natured vigneron, prefers the vineyards to be farmed as naturally as possible with a minimum of treatments and organic philosophies. Harvesting is always done by hand. The wines are fermented exclusively en cuve (in tank) and racked into barrel for aging. Laurent typically only buys new oak if he needs to replace old barrels, some of which are 50 years old. With his retirement in 2019 Laurent's children Solonge, Adeline and Gabriel have now taken the helm, each specialising in different aspects of the business.
The Tribut Chablis share many stylistic similarities with their famous relatives. The wines offer immediate appeal with a rich texture and lovely lemony fruit notes, white spice and vibrant underlying minerality; yet are deeply concentrated with dense though not heavy structures, that age and develop into very complex wines. Compared to Dauvissat they have a little extra generosity. In a lot of ways, they share more in common with the classic White Burgundy appellations of the Cote de Beaune than Chablis.
Other Reviews....
This vibrant and dynamic village Chablis explodes with aromas of lime peel, passion fruit and greengage plums adorned with acacia blossoms and chalky minerality. The feel is racy and bright, but there is substance here as well. This wine will be crisp and approachable on release but will profit from mid-term ageing in the cellar. Fruit is from parcels at Courgis and Poinchy, with a bit from the Beauroy and Forêts premiers crus. Fermentation in tank is followed by six months in cask before bottling. Drink 2028-2045.

Charles Curtis MW - Decanter
Ripe aromas of poached pear and apple compote are laced with hints of iodine, lemon rind and a whiff of brine. The succulent, round and sappy middle weight flavors display notably better than average persistence on the citrusy, clean and nicely dry finale. This punches above its weight and is worth a look. Drink through 2028+.

2023 Chateau Grand Village

Bordeaux, FRANCE
$69. 99
Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 15%

Closure: Cork

Given they are under the same ownership of the Guinaudau family, Chateau Grand Village is often referred to as Chateau Lafleur’s second vineyard. The estate has been owned by the Guinaudau’s relatives for hundreds of years, however it was not until the year 2000 that they began to produce wine themselves from the property. Situated on the edge of the Fronsac region and classified as Bordeaux Superieur, the vineyard is planted to 79% Merlot and 21% Bouchets (Cabernet Franc). The terroir is similar to Saint Emilion with its mix of calcisol going down a foot or so to a bedrock mostly made up of asteria limestone. At Grand Village, they practice many of the same techniques employed at Lafleur, including pruning and de-budding adapted to each vine plant, crop thinning in summer and de-leafing. The grapes are picked by hand, followed by very careful sorting and selection. Grand Village also produces a white wine from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc (85%) and Semillon (15%), from a 5 acre plot.
Other Reviews....
Aromas of cassis, blueberries, dark wild berries and flowers introduce the 2023 Grand Village, a medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy wine with a deep core of fruit that's framed by powdery tannins, concluding with a long, saline finish. As readers may remember, Grand Village is one of the best values in Bordeaux, and this year, it exceeds expectations. It's one of the sleepers of the vintage. This is a blend of 91% Merlot (picked between the 11th and 14th of September) and 9% Cabernet Franc (picked on the 20th of September). Drink 2025-2045.
92-94 points
Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2023 Grand Village is a very beautiful wine. Supple and open-knit, with terrific fruit purity, the 2023 has a lot to offer. Crushed flowers, mint, red-toned fruit, blood orange and mocha grace the palate. Brisk acids lift the nuanced finish. Drink 2025-2030.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Crunchy red fruit and blackberries, dried flowers and an earthy touch. Chalky and vibrant with precise flavors on the medium- to full-bodied palate, leaning toward medium. Fine tannins add definition and structure in the finish. A blend of 91% merlot and 9% bouchet (cabernet franc). Better from 2027.
94 points
Jacobo García Andrade - JamesSuckling.com
Based on 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc from deeper, clay soils, the ruby/plum-hued 2023 Château Grand Village spent a year in 30% new French oak before bottling. It tastes like a mini Pomerol with its ripe, juicy black cherries, damp earth, roasted herbs, and graphite. It's medium-bodied and has a pure, focused, layered mouthfeel and a great finish. Drink 2026-2038.

Jeb Dunnuck
Very fragrant and floral expression on the nose, really open and forward. Smooth and full of bright energy with savoury, herbal strawberry and red cherry notes. Great texture, fresh and focused. This has good structure in terms of fleshy tannins but with a cool, bite to the quite high acidity which keeps it lifted. Nice balance, precision and drinkability with a salty, chalky, graphite finish. I like this a lot. Clean, grippy, well balanced. Really well made. Drink 2027-2037.

Compared to the 2022, the 2023 Grand Village Blanc is more fruity and dense, evoking aromas of lemon oil, verbena, kumquat and confit citrus. Broad but tensile, it’s medium-bodied with a fleshy core of fruit and a delicately phenolic frame that segues into a chalky, saline and bright finish. This blend of 80% Sauvignon and 20% Sémillon is simply stunning. Drink 2025-2040.
91-93 points
Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2023 Grand Village Blanc is positively stellar. Lemon peel, white flowers, chalk, mint and white pepper are all finely sculpted in this nervy, bracing white. I would give this a year or two in bottle. I especially admire its energy and tension. Drink 2025-2035.

Chalky eggshells with limey citrus, stone fruit and minerals. Superbright and precise, with medium body and a zesty, salty, bone-dry and pithy finish. Beautiful and gastronomic. One of the best ever? A blend of 80% sauvignon blanc and 20% semillon. Irresistible now but will hold well.

Green apple and elderflower notes on the nose. Bright and zippy, instantly mouthwatering with super high acidity but also creamy lemon and peach aspects that temper the acidity and give more of a round mouthfeel despite the energy. Zingy, intense, but layered and complex yet at the same time so easy to drink! Lovely and clean with a very precise, almost mineral finish. Drink 2025-2030.

The 2023 Les Perrières de Lafleur reveals aromas of violet, dark wild berries, spices and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping and deep, layered and textured, it has a good depth of fruit with powdery tannins, concluding with a saline, lead pencil-inflected finish. Crafted entirely from Cabernet Franc, it’s one of the most singular Les Perrières produced by Baptiste Guinaudeau and his team.

The 2023 Les Perrières is fabulous. Brisk and tightly wound in the glass, Les Perrières is so impressive. Crushed rocks, graphite, rose petal, blood orange, mint and mocha race across the palate. The 2023 is vibrant, deep and also beautifully crystalline in its precision. Drink 2028-2043.

Wow, this is quite impressive, with lots of freshness highlighted by chalky energy. Minerally in a very dusty mode, showing ripe but racy red berries and cherries. Medium- to full-bodied with fresh, fine-boned tannins. Really long and precise. 100% bouchet (cabernet franc). Drink or hold.

Zekun Shuai - JamesSuckling.com
All Cabernet Franc (Bouschet clone) and just beautiful, the 2023 Les Perrières De Lafleur has a distinct minerality in its red and blue fruits as well as chalk, spring flowers, violets, and spice. It's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, graceful, focused mouthfeel, beautiful balance and depth, fine tannins, and a great finish. This is the first time it's been 100% Cabernet Franc, due to the heat wave that gave the Merlot a level of ripeness that made it difficult to blend with the Cabernet Franc. This brilliant beauty is absolutely gorgeous and will keep for 20 years or more. Drink 2026-2045.

Wild flower notes on the nose, smells really welcoming and very pure. Cool from the start, texture and structure from a warm vintage but with fresh acidity giving mouthwatering aspects and such liveliness. Direct and focused, but juicy in the best way. I love this expression because it’s not too strict but there’s complexity, some flesh, soft herbs and lovely red berry fruit. A little iron tang on the finish too. Very complete and approachable.

The Les Champs Libres 2023 Blanc is one of the white wines of the vintage. Exhaling aromas of lime blossom, spices, confit citrus, lemon oil and spring flowers, it’s chalky and concentrated with fleshy, structuring tannins and bright acids that segues into a long, saline and mineral finish.

The 2023 Les Champs Libres is just as impressive as it was in barrel. Aromatic, airy and lifted, Champs Libres is captivating. Lemon peel, chalk, white pepper, mint and sage open beautifully in the glass. There's a lightness in the 2023 that is so appealing. Readers will find a dry white that is all about understatement and class. Drink 2025-2030.

Mineral and tense on the nose, with a timid, stony austerity and subtle floral and melon notes. The palate is chalky, precise and cutting, revealing fruit gradually along a defined, linear thread accented by white pepper. Vibrant acidity and an elegant, delicate effervescence lead to an intensely taut, focused finish. An exceptional white from the Right Bank—refined, energetic and built to evolve. Drink now or hold.

Jacobo García Andrade - JamesSuckling.com
All Sauvignon Blanc that was fermented and aged nine months in 75% new French oak barrels with the balance in one-year-old barrels, the 2023 Guinaudeau Vignerons Les Champs Libres Blanc is a brilliant, legit great white wine that ranks with the crème de la crème of the vintage. Stone fruits, citrus, crushed stone, mint, and salty minerality all emerge from the bouquet, and it's medium-bodied and concentrated, with integrated acidity and a great finish. This is a dead ringer for a Les Perrières from Meursault. Don't miss it. Drink 2026-2040.

A spiced, fragranced, honeyed lemon on the nose - wild honey with white flowers, jasmine and ginger. Instantly so upfront and impactful, succulent and juicy - stimulating straight away but fragrant and delicate too. Lightly presented, a touch creamy, still with high acidity but more structured and well built. Very well made, intense flavour matched with coolness, brightness, satsuma juice, lemon, soy sauce, vanilla, ginger, honeysuckle and peach. Lovely stuff. A wine to think about. Drink 2026-2036.

The Miyagikyo Peated is a rare, lightly peated expression that softens Miyagikyo’s usual floral sweetness with a gentle layer of smoke. It drinks smoother and more approachable than heavily peated whiskies, yet stands out from the distillery’s standard unpeated range with added depth and complexity.

Other reviews... This whisky presents a delightful nose of honeycomb, tropical fruit, vanilla toffee, and white chocolate. On the palate, it offers a silky mouthfeel with soft sweetness, featuring dried apple and hints of peach. As tropical fruit notes evolve, cocoa and milk chocolate add depth. The finish is long and warming, showcasing big, expressive flavors with elegance and subtle aromas. Gold - World Whiskies Awards 2025
...Loch Lomond has continued to develop positively. It used to be ideal for mixing, but today it's truly excellent in terms of price and quality. Everything about this dram is just right: the look, price, key data, and, above all, the nose and taste. - whiskybase.com

2024 Te Mata Estate Coleraine

Hawkes Bay, NEW ZEALAND

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Dubbed as "New Zealand's greatest winery" by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and "New Zealand's first growth" by Decanter (amongst many other superlatives), Te Mata is a family-owned Estate in Hawke's Bay, on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island. Established in 1896 on a former pastoral land-holding, the Estate has been producing classic wines modelled on Bordeaux varieties and blends with a modern interpretation.
Coleraine is an assemblage of the finest wines from distinct plots within Te Mata Estate's oldest vineyards on the Havelock Hills. Each parcel of grapes was destemmed before a warm-plunged fermentation and extended maceration on skins. The resulting wines were then matured in predominantly new French oak barrels for 17 months. The final blend of this 2024 is 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc.

Medium-bodied with ultra-fine velvety tannins and a seamless, cashmere texture. So caressing and polished. Bright and vivid at the end. 58% cabernet sauvignon. 31% merlot and 11% cabernet franc. Will be released March 1. You could drink this tonight and enjoy it, but it will age.

This is 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc. 55% new oak. This vintage puts me in mind of the mighty 2020; that sort of depth and concentration, though it has some of the acid cut of 2021 in the mix too. Winemaker Phil Brodie says 2024 was a dry vintage, and warm too, with small bunches and lower crop levels. Said it could have gone too ripe, but they walked through the vineyards on a daily basis, tasting and testing, and they picked it when they thought it was just right. When I think about NZ wine, at the top of the tree, I have Kumeu for Chardonnay, Bilancia for Shiraz (and sometimes Chardonnay!), and Te Mata for Cabernet. A trio of meticulous producers who regularly deliver that little bit extra. The one percenters, if you like.
Deep dark wine, black and red fruit, chocolate and ironstone, some creamy and spicy cedar oak, dried flowers, a light minty perfume, slight roasted red capsicum and pimento. It’s medium to full-bodied, crisp ‘mineral’ acidity, lavish graphite tannin, tobacco and nori, a fresh blackberry nip to it, brooding and ferrous, with a firm and savoury finish of superb length. An exceptional wine. It will keep, probably, for as long as you want to keep it, if you can keep your hands off it, that is. Drink 2028-2049+.

This is a masterpiece, much like a great work of art. The bouquet shows cassis, dark plum, bouquet garni, baking spice, rich floral, and cedar characters. It’s concentrated with exceptional depth and mouth-coating texture, wonderfully framed by finely polished tannins. It’s perfectly proportioned and gracefully powerful, combining scintillating fruit purity with seductive complexity. The wine flows seamlessly to a persistent, structured finish.

2023 Domaine Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage

Crozes Hermitage, Northern Rhone, FRANCE
$130. 00
Bottle
$1560.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Alain Graillot has proved beyond a doubt that it is possible to make rich wines from the gently sloped alluvial plain where the Isère River meets the Rhone. His concentrated reds demonstrate all that is exciting about the Syrah grape: black fruit, intense aromaticity, pepper and spice complexity underpinned by crisp acidity and fine tannins.
Graillot works organically, harvesting fruit by hand and fermenting in whole bunches. He chooses to age his wines in used barrels, one to three-years-old, purchased from Burgundy’s best estates. His Crozes-Hermitage is difficult to resist young. Despite the tannins that inevitably come from the inclusion of whole bunches in fermentation, Graillot wines are seldom hard-edged, overly tannic, or in need of extended cellaring. In fact, they are often flat-out delicious very soon after release. That being said, their track record for rewarding patient cellaring is exemplary.
Other Reviews....
The 2023 Crozes-Hermitage comes out shining, opening with dried violets, orange rind and ripe red fruits. Delicately assertive fleshy tones add more complexity. Midweighted and refined, the 2023 surpasses the 2022 by a landslide, doubling down with accentuated freshness on the savoury finale. Drink 2026-2032.

2024 Felton Road Block 2 Chardonnay

$79. 99
Bottle
$959.88 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Commencing with meticulous site selection and vineyard design in 1991, Felton Road's story is one of refusal to compromise. A strict 100% estate policy with fully organic and biodynamic viticulture ensures that the fruit arrives at the winery as pure as can be, while the entire estate comes as close to true sustainability as is possible. A commitment to hands-off winemaking: gravity flow; indigenous yeasts and malolactic; an avoidance of fining and filtration; all help preserve the wine's expression of its terroir. The result is Riesling, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir which accurately express the authenticity and complexity of the unique vineyards.
Felton Road farms four properties totaling 32 ha in the Bannockburn sub-region of Central Otago. Block 2 is positioned on a gentle east facing slope immediately north of Block 3 on The Elms vineyard and was planted in 1992.

The 2024 Chardonnay Block 2 is focused, firm and athletic. It has drive and continually propels forward. Ripe citrus and nectarine combine with sophisticated oak use that adds complexity.

The 2024 Chardonnay Block 6 is very complete. Firm and floral, this has more girth and expanse than Felton's Block 2, but it doesn't want for natural acidity.

Doused with lashings of black fruit, this is a power packed, opulent and dense Barossa Shiraz.
Selected from a single block high on the estate peak, where the soils are shallow and exposure to sunlight is long, the Beast embodies all the classic Barossa attributes of power, concentration, richness and structure. Maturation took place in French oak (60% new and 40% seasoned) for a period of 22 months.
Magnificent colour saturation featuring an impenetrable inky black heart and a near equally deep dark red black hue. Potent ripe blackberry, liquorice and dark plum scents soar out of the glass followed by some spicy vanillin cedar, mocha, earth and subtle peppered fennel notes. Rich, densely concentrated and opulent yet possessing an underlying freshness, the weighty palate is coated with lavish dark plum, liquorice and blackberry fruits. Spicy vanillin cedar, subtle earthy mocha and peppered fennel elements are also evident. Velvety yet structurally sturdy tannins. Power packed it finishes exceptionally long and sumptuous.

Shiraz from D block on the Hentley Farm estate in the western Barossa, destemmed and aged in French oak (60% new, 40% seasoned) for 22 months. Bright magenta-splashed crimson with a heady array of beautifully plush blueberry, blackberry and dark plum fruits. Hints of baking spices, cedar, vanilla pod, licorice, dark chocolate, citrus blossom, tobacco and roasting meats. Pure and opulent from woah-to-go. Travels with harmony and latent power and is backed by super-compact, silty tannins and fine mineral focus. A wine and winery in fantastic form. Drink by 2045.

On the palate the big, up-front sweetness evolves into nougat, marzipan, and caramel-covered apple, sprinkled with root beer spices, before more grain and pastry notes appear on the finish.

2024 Swinney Farvie Grenache

Frankland River, Western Australia, AUSTRALIA
Reduced from $165.00
$150. 00
Bottle
$1800.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.9%

Closure: Stelvin

The Swinney family has been farming their 3,000-hectare "Franklands" property since 1922, but it was the transition to viticulture in the late 1990s that established them as one of the most significant fruit sources in Western Australia. Under the guidance of fourth-generation siblings Matt and Janelle Swinney and acclaimed winemaker Rob Mann, the estate has shifted from being a prestigious grower for others to a benchmark producer in its own right. The Farvie range represents the pinnacle of their holdings, sourced exclusively from small, ironstone-rich pockets of the vineyard where bush-vine architecture and meticulous dry-farming are used to capture the singular, ferrous personality of the Frankland River.
Farvie Grenache is sourced from a specific northeast-facing crest of the Wilson's Pool Vineyard, produced from established, dry-grown bush vines where the fruit was hand-selected over multiple passes to ensure optimal ripeness. It was fermented with 60% whole bunches and aged for 11 months in large, fine-grained French oak, resulting in a 13.9% alcohol profile defined by ferrous complexity and velvety tannins.
Other Reviews....
Wine critics are completely unbiased and have absolutely no favourites at all. First line of the wine writers’ creed. Unfortunately, despite our best intentions, it really isn’t true. There are always some samples which, when they arrive for tasting, bring a smile of anticipated pleasure. Even though Swinney have only been on the scene for the equivalent of a drop in the vinous ocean, they have established a reputation as one of the most exciting producers in the country. The latest releases will simply entrench this even further. With all the attention focused on Grenache from the warmer South Australian regions, it may seem odd that one of our very best hails from the far distant Frankland River. This is a single vineyard wine from the Wilson’s Pool Vineyard, picked from dry grown, bush vines. Winemaker, Robert Mann, includes 60% whole bunches in the ferment. The wine spent ten days on skins before pressing to large format, older French oak, where it spent eleven months maturing. A gleaming crimson/ruby hue, the complexity in this wine is immediately evident. The aromas weave through notes of cherries, warm earth, mulberries, fresh beetroot, kirsch, truffles, plums and a touch of florals and orange rind. There is an appealing savouriness here, but giving the wine time in the glass will be to its advantage. Supple and seamless, there is a fine line of acidity maintained throughout and great length here. This will provide pleasure for the next ten to fifteen years at least. One of our great Grenaches. Drink 2026-2041.

Ken Gargett - Wine Pilot
The 2024 Farvie Grenache is fragrant and perfumed, redolent of rose petals and raspberry seed, rhubarb and a hint of licorice. The palate is structural and quite delicate; it is ashy, mineral and spicy, with a very fine spool of flavor across the palate. Initially, the acidity and tannins in this wine displayed as firm (fine but firm), however, the wine then opened up tremendously and will continue to do so over the next day, and with that opening comes a relaxing of all the components. This is a gorgeous wine, one that should reset your expectations about this vintage—a reaffirmation of the truism that you must follow "producer, producer, producer." This is an excellent wine from an excellent vineyard and producer. 13.9% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2025-2039.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
60% whole bunch. 10 days on skins. Aged in large format seasoned French oak for 11 months. Harvested on the 1st of March.
Quite rosy and musky, paprika and mint, red fruits and toasted hazelnuts. It’s medium-bodied, a little sappy and nutty, a light grainy grip to tannin, has some blood orange tang in the mix, poached strawberry, quite minty and green herby, but not in a bad way. The finish has some malty characters in with strawberry and cranberry freshness, offering good length, closing with somewhat drying tannin. Lots of character. Perhaps a little too thickset, is a quibble. Drink 2026-2032.
93 points
Gary Walsh - The Wine Front
Aromas have that distinctive ironstone character, which is regional and vineyard. The palate is quite tight and firmish, but there is good flesh in there. The higher acidity contributed to that tight palate sensation. In this case, a higher percentage of whole bunches to capture the freshness in the wine. Almost has a sour cherry-like character with a ferrous wet slaty character. More assertive structural tannins. The only thing different in the winery was the use of whole bunches, which was up to 65% in this case. The berry sizes were quite small and loose, so you get the brightness and concentration. It is a stunning wine that continues to define Australian grenache. Cellar 30 years.

The Swinney family has been farming their 3,000-hectare "Franklands" property since 1922, but it was the transition to viticulture in the late 1990s that established them as one of the most significant fruit sources in Western Australia. Under the guidance of fourth-generation siblings Matt and Janelle Swinney and acclaimed winemaker Rob Mann, the estate has shifted from being a prestigious grower for others to a benchmark producer in its own right. The Farvie range represents the pinnacle of their holdings, sourced exclusively from small, ironstone-rich pockets of the vineyard where bush-vine architecture and meticulous dry-farming are used to capture the singular, ferrous personality of the Frankland River.
Farvie Mourvedre is a "draconian" selection from dry-grown bush vines on leaner, gravel-heavy soils, fermented with 100% whole bunches to balance the natural rusticity of the fruit with a heightened spice element. The wine underwent 14 days on skins before maturing for 11 months in seasoned, large-format French oak, capturing the variety's most wild and emotive structural character.
Other Reviews....
This is not simply one of the best examples of Mourvèdre from Australia, it’s one of the best in the world. Cracking stuff. From the Frankland River region, the fruit is entirely from the Wilson’s Pool Vineyard. These are dry grown, bush vines. The fruit is hand-picked and the team use 100% whole bunches in the fermentation. The wine spends two weeks on skins before maturing for eleven months in large format, older French oak. Deep maroon hue, the nose reveals notes of cassis, blackberries, plums, some fleshy notes, smoked meats, chocolate, dried herbs and a touch of fruitcake. There is a silky texture through to satiny tannins along with very good length. A supple style, this is nicely balanced and the oak has been deftly handled. A fifteen-to-twenty-five-year proposition. Drink 2026-2046.

Ken Gargett - Wine Pilot
The 2024 Farvie Mourvèdre is ultra-aromatic from the glass. The fruit sits on the red-purple mulberry and raspberry end of the spectrum, while the tannins are spicy, dusty and profuse in the mouth. The spices err on the side of exoticism, with paprika dolce, pink peppercorn, nutmeg, campfire ash and something akin to persimmon. This is a beautiful wine; it is beguiling, intriguing and highly attractive. While this is a more restrained, tannic iteration than what we saw in 2023, it is defined by its tannic structure and medium-bodied fruit. It's a beauty. 13.6% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2025-2039.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
It’s expressive aromatically and it is in a pure way: it’s not floral, the fruit itself is ebullient. From there it’s one of the more seamless wines that you will encounter, in that the flavour notes all more or less meld as one. This wine presents the united colours of Mourvèdre. A bag of roasted nuts, fresh red and black cherries, leather, mint and almond paste characters all get a run, I guess, though I feel dirty trying to dissect such harmony. This is a wine of emphasis but it’s not a wine of density; it’s medium in weight if not lighter, though its general impact is significant. Tannin. I’ve been meaning to mention tannin. This is one of those wines where the tannin framework has no right to be so good. Drinking this wine is like staring at a large spider’s web, glistening with dew, and marvelling at its intricacy. It’s just bloody ridiculously good – as is the wine in its entirety. Drink 2026-2034+.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front
The colour is deeper and richer than the grenache. Loads of punchy dark fruit characters, with that distinctive ironstone character which is evident in the grenache but not to the same extent. There’s an earthy gamey meat charcuterie character on the nose. The palate has a deep intensity. It’s a structured wine showing the firmness of the tannins. As it breathed, the seductive perfumed florals of this variety started to emerge. When I tasted it the next day, they were even more profound, suggesting great things ahead. Another example of how Farvie is pushing this Rhone variety into rarefied air among the world’s best. Cellar 30 years.

Farvie Syrah is a blend of dry-grown fruit from the Powderbark and Wilson Pool sites, this Syrah was fermented with 67% whole bunches to foster a savoury, ironstone personality without the influence of new oak. It spent 11 months on lees in large-format barrels, emphasizing floral perfume and a refined, mineral-driven structure rather than richness or weight.
Other Reviews....
Syrah, or Shiraz, from the Frankland River region has certainly established itself has one of the most exciting styles of the grape in the country. This release is from the Powderbark Vineyard (66%) and Wilson’s Pool (34%). The fruit is hand-picked and fed to a French oak vat, and two demi-muids. The team use 67% whole bunches in the ferment. The wine spends ten days on skins and eleven months maturing in large format, older French oak. The colour is a vibrant purple magenta. On the nose we have notes of leather and truffles, animal hides, charcuterie, black fruits, beef stock, soy, hints of florals and a touch of blackcurrants. There is real power here, but everything is in balance. Good intensity throughout with juicy acidity and abundant, fine, powdery tannins. A wine which will easily see out the next fifteen to twenty years. Drink 2026-2046.

The darkest of the three Farvie wines released in this vintage, the 2024 Farvie Syrah leads with a nose populated by dark fruit and spices to match. There are notes of blackberry, blueberry, mulberry and blood plum, alongside licorice dark chocolate and tapenade. The tannins here make a show on the palate, with a gravelly undercurrent of texture that speaks clearly of the season but more eloquently of the site. The gravelly ironstone soils are echoed in the wine, and it is this synchronicity that makes these wines so special. It's a black, graphite, cooling expression of Syrah in this vintage. There are notes of pressed flowers, too. 13.8% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2025-2039.

This is bold, grunty and svelte at once. To borrow a phrase: it’s Frankland River Grange. It’s pounded with tannin, dark berried, creamy to the touch and inflected with mint, bitumen, violets, iodine and red earth. As ‘much’ as it is on the palate, the follow through of the finish is exceptional. It was a dry old creek before blood and plums started charging through it. That’s the vibe here. Salt of the earth, as a drink. Aussie bush and Aussie berries, soft and extracted, dry and elongated. Drink 2028-2036+.

The combination of different blocks adds to its deep complexity, with the dark spicy fruit of one block and the blue fruit perfumes of the other. Delve deeper, and then an earthy gamey nori-like character starts spiralling out. There’s plenty of plummy palate coating fruit, which continues to its palate feel and rich opulence. Seamlessly structured with firm tannins and that understated integrated oak working seamlessly within the core of concentrated fruit. Cellar 30 years.

The first thing you note is the color. It’s deep and opaque. And then the nose displays all you expect from those blackcurrant and dark berry characters of Coonawarra, but with that fine leafy lift that brings a regionality to it. The palate is both structured and yet elegantly defined, with a firm thread of fine limestone-like characters, of the tannins neatly sitting with the integration of fine oak. This is a wine that’s built for extended cellaring, and yet its balance is so supreme that it can be enjoyed right now. Super wine. Drink 2025-2045.

Midnight black heart with a dark red black tinged hue. Blackpepper infused aromas of red to dark plum and liquorice intermix with smoked meats, earthy leather and spicy clove like notes. Rich, juicy red plum and liquorice fruits make a plush entrance with notions of smoked meats, clove and peppered earth outlined across the back half.

The Eadie is a single plot wines that is made from fruit located on the southern side of Jacksons Creek in the vineyard of Craiglee, and is named for the family who first planted vines there in 1863. What a thing.
A lush and plush expression, somewhat outside the norm of the Craiglee precision, a touch more volume but all the control and charm expected of top flight shiraz from here. Depth is a thing here, so too a velvety feel, rich, ripe plum, a liqueur cassis note that flows through and then lifts with green olive, violet florals, a touch of sweet spice, dried Italian herbs, faint game meat notes, some cedar and clove in there too. A lot on. Really good. Just so, rich but refreshing, and a full experience. So unique. Drink 2026-2038+

Departing from the luxurious sweetness of French cremes, by comparison, this pleasingly tart and drier-styled cassis is admirable for its rustic, brambly naturalness. As the flavours proceed it takes on the garb of a young ruby port; balancing acid cuts through the jamminess, leaving ripe pomegranate, finishing tangy and fresh. Delicious on its own, or try it in Kir Royales. Made from hand-picked Tasmanian blackcurrants. 20% Alc./Vol.

Sourced from the sub-regions of Polish Hill River and Armagh. Aromas scream Cabernet: blackberry, blackcurrant, a little leaf, and syrupy dark chocolate. The palate is deeply concentrated, supported by chalky tannins and plenty of oak, yet perfectly balanced. Drives through to an extended finish. Tremendous cellaring potential yet delicious already. Drink 2025-2045.

2022 Querciabella Chianti Classico

Bottle
$659.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 6 Years (2026-2032)

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork

Querciabella Chianti Classico has been the centrepiece of the estate’s winemaking operations since the onset. First produced in 1974, it consistently receives high levels of critical acclaim. Maturation took place in fine to extra fine grained oak barriques (225 Litre) and tonneaux (500 Litre), and partially in larger oak vessels for a period of 14 months, before the final blend is assembled. It’s then given a further 12 months bottle age before release.
Refined and energetic, this delicious Chianti strikes a beautiful balance between varietal purity, vibrancy and depth.

Deep dark red black core with a red to dark red hue. Attractive red currant and red cherry aromas are trailed by some red liquorice, earth, subtle tobacco and spicy dried herb notes. Mid weighted, the palate is layered with expressive red currant, red liquorice and red cherry fruits which meld into a dusty earth, dried herb, tobacco and spicy cedar back drop. Energetic acidity and fine grained tannins impart a slight chalky feel yet there’s an overwhelming refinement to the wine. Long, savoury, red fruited finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14%
Other Reviews….
Pouring a youthful jeweled ruby color, the 2022 Chianti Classico is entirely Sangiovese from Greve, Lamole, and Radda. (The producers have stopped using fruit from Gaiole in the blend, as they are concentrated on vines closer to home, including the higher elevation site in Lamole for freshness.) The nose is very pretty and fruity, with aromas of mixed berries, crushed flowers, and sweet earth. Medium to full-bodied, it’s elegant on the palate, with a fresh feel, fine tannins, and a refined texture. It is elegant all the way through and is going to offer a lot of pleasure over the next 10-12 years. Drink 2025-2037.

A bold, weighty Clare Shiraz that features impressive richness and power within a sturdy structure.
After building an enviable reputation working for some of Australia’s most prestigious wineries David O’Leary and Nick Walker established their own venture in 2000. Based in the Clare Valley they specialise in Riesling and Shiraz that consistently excel in the value for money stakes.
For the excellent 2023 vintage fruit was sourced from two Clare Valley sub regions, the cooler Polish Hill River and also the warmer Armagh, north of Clare. Each batch is fermented separately in two and four tonne fermenters over a 14 day period and hand-plunged. Maturation took place in French oak, 20% new, for a period of 18 months.
Dense inky black heart with a dark purple black tinged hue. Blackberry, liquorice and black cherry aromas flood the nostrils mixing with gently charred vanillin oak, black olive, fennel and blackpepper notes along the way. Rich, concentrated and succulent, black cherry, blackberry, liquorice and blueberry fruits explode across the bold, weighty palate. Scorched earth, vanillin oak, fennel and pepper elements lend further nuance across the back half.

Here is a wine that combines the power and intensity of Clare with finesse to create a stylish example of what the region does well. Fruit was sourced from the sub-regions of Polish Hill River and Armagh. Immediately strikes with dark fruits and spices, displaying blackberry, plum, dark mocha, and even a touch of black olive. The palate is deeply intense with richness and depth, yet managed with elegance. Perfectly balanced, superb value, and great cellaring potential—though beautiful now. Drink 2025-2045.

A true-to-region shiraz that delivers a bold, rich hit of ripe forest berries, currants and raisins, dried fig and date, dark chocolate and black olive characters, all dosed up with sage leaf, salt bush and aniseed. Nicely played. Generous and full, well balanced. A ripple of drinking chocolate powder tannin and a pleasing stretch of spicy flavour make for inherent pleasure and seriousness. Serious stuff, done well. Drink by 2035.

Sam Kim – Wine Orbit
The famous Rhone blend done Barossa style. The fruit is sourced from three blocks of Grenache, the oldest dating back to 1920, with single blocks of the other varieties. The final blend was Grenache 66%, Mataro 25% and Shiraz 9%. The wine spent nine months maturing, 70% of it in old French oak puncheons, before a final three months in stainless steel. Deep magenta colour, the wine is delightfully ripe with notes of leather, warm earth, animal hides, cloves and black fruits. There is a supple texture through to abundant but quite fine, mouth coating tannins. There is excellent length here too. This is a red more burly than elegant, but it is full of flavour with palate moving to cold tea and chocolate notes. Enjoy this for the next eight to ten years. Drink 2024-2034.

Concentrated, textural and mouth wateringly fresh with a long scrumptious finish.
In 1979 Mike Peterkin produced Australia’s first Semillon Sauvignon Blanc. Working at Cullen’s at the time, the wine went on to win a trophy at the Perth Royal Show. He never claimed any originality for the idea, he simply borrowed it from the French. In 1980 he was so convinced of the blend’s potential in Margaret River he devoted a third of the Pierro plantings to the varieties.
The 2025 L.T.C. is made up of 45% Semillon, 32% Sauvignon Blanc and 23% Chardonnay. A portion of the blend was fermented and matured in new and one & two year-old French oak barrels for a period of 2-3 months with the balance fermented and matured in stainless steel.
Brilliant water like core with green highlighted edges. Passionfruit, lime and green apple scents jump out of the glass trailed by some subtle herbaceous grassy notes, guava and mineral flint. Mouth watering passionfruit, guava, lime and green apple flavours are delivered with fantastic concentration and show impressive textural volume. Subtle herbaceous grassy elements and zingy minerals line the back half. Displaying outstanding drive, it has crisp acidity and a long scrumptious finish.

Other Reviews....
The 2025 L.T.C. comprises a combination of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Chardonnay. The wine is typically crunchy and fresh on release but also ages exceptionally well, and I have had the benefit of some extensive verticals over the past 15 years. Aromatically, the wine leads with notes of white spring flowers, wax, nashi pear and green apple. In the mouth, the wine is typically textural and fresh, with layers of shaved fennel and saline acidity. Ripe nashi pear also appears on the palate. This release is perhaps a little softer than the previous to my memory and is all the better for it. I love it. Actually, I think it's the best release of LTC I've ever tasted. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2026-2040.

Semillon(45%), Sauvignon Blanc (32%), Chardonnay(23%). As far as I know, Pierro is probably the only producer who adds Chardonnay to the classic SSB blend. And it works.
This is a great release. It’s juicy but stays tight and balanced. Lime, green apple, melon, bright acidity, a very subtle herbal/grassy flavour, fine chalky grip, a dollop of vanilla yoghourt, with a limey finish of excellent length. Very nice. Drink 2026-2032+.

Ardnamurchan AD/ Sauternes Cask Release Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 50%

We know that peat and sweet sherry are a fabulous mix, so why not try peated spirit with a sweet wine like Sauternes? This small-batch release of 8460 bottles was matured in 29 ex-Bourbon casks for three years before being carefully re-racked into sweet white wine barriques for a further 3.5 years. The richness of the wine hasn't overwhelmed the vitality of the spirit here, leaving plenty of tangy citrus zest and maritime peat to shine through. It was summed up by one taster as "decadent, coastal smokey." 50% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.
Other reviews... Nose: A hint of petrichor alongside gentle farm-y notes. There’s some straw with slivers of silage too. The whiffs of pineapple, melon and chamomile are very pleasing, but there’s also an earthiness. We’re ending things of yellow plums and heathery smoke. Taste: Slightly dry. Not as full-bodied as you’d expect. Also a tad more ashy than I’d like. But then hints of sultanas, dunnage notes and smoked paprika powder. There are tangerines too, smoke-infused vanilla custard and gentle honey notes. Eminently drinkable. Finish: Medium to long. Hints of beachy bonfires, sea shells and soft floral notes. While I expected a slightly richer experience, there’s an elegance and balance here that’s really appealing. - wordsofwhisky.com
Notes from the producers... Nose: Lime leaf, lemon balm, shortbread, hay bales. Pineapple upside-down-cake, desiccated coconut, crème de pêche. Stem ginger syrup, pencil shavings,tobacco. Palate: Nutmeg, dried ginger, orange blossom water. Smoked manuka honey, lemon meringue pie, salted cashew nuts. Tajin seasoning, Creamola foam, Tizer. Hickory wood, farmy smoke, earthy depth. Finish: Spicy, punchy, bright. A luscious, decadent dram.

Ardnamurchan AD/ Madeira Cask Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 52%

For this release, Bourbon casks from early 2018 were filled with a roughly 60/40 ratio of unpeated to peated spirit, then re-racked into Madeira casks for two years. These casks were vatted just prior to reaching seven years old. The wine has sweetened and softened the maritime character on the nose, also evident on entry, punctuated by a bit of nip and prickle with a bittersweet edge. The Madeira richness picks up again, leaving nutty malt, honey and a trail of ashy, sooty peat. The yield was just under 19,000 units at 52% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.
Other reviews... "This whisky is simply delicious. You can taste the quality casks... their spirit is flawless too... very wine influenced for those who like it, very sweet, but in the best way possible and very balanced with the meaty, smoky elements." - whiskybase.com
"With the Madeira Cask 2025 release, Ardnamurchan has crafted a whisky with superb balance. It plays your taste buds like a pinball machine, bouncing from sweet to spicy and back again. That interplay keeps every sip engaging, whether you’re a seasoned whisky drinker or just getting started." - Whisky Monkeys
Notes from the producers... Nose: Cocoa powder, stewed plums, sugared almonds, bread and butter pudding, nutmeg, sandalwood, bracken, fruit scone, red currants. Palate: Cinnamon sweets, cedar bark, salted trail mix with chocolate chips, rosemary stalks, toffee apple, pine needles, strawberries with black pepper. Finish: Medium weight, dusty, long and slightly drying finish.
