    2023 Domaine Moreau-Naudet Les Pargues Vieilles Vignes Chablis
    Chablis, FRANCE
    $130. 00
    Bottle
    $1560.00 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    Founded in the 1950s and now led by Virginie Moreau, this long-established Chablis estate has built a reputation for wines of purity, depth and precision. Virginie continues the legacy of her late husband Stéphane, who steered the domaine toward organic farming, indigenous fermentations and long lees ageing in a mix of stainless steel and neutral oak. The vineyards, centred around Préhy, Courgis and Chablis itself, are managed by hand and cropped at modest yields to capture the tension and minerality that define the region’s greatest sites. Moreau-Naudet's wines are recognised for their textural weight, unforced detail and faithful reflection of terroir, aligning them with the classic, artisanal style of Chablis.

    From a 60-year-old parcel on the ridge between Montmains and Vosgros, Les Pargues shares the same south-facing exposure as several Premier Cru sites. Historically considered of Premier Cru standing, the lieu-dit produces wines of depth and minerality from its thin, stony soils. Moreau's 1.8-hectare holding yields only 15-25 hl/ha, and the wine is partly fermented in older barrels (around 30%). The result is a layered, saline expression that consistently outperforms its appellation.

    Other Reviews....
    Issuing from three parcels of over 60-year-old vines, amounting to 1.8 hectares, Moreau-Naudet’s 2023 Chablis Pargues Vieilles Vignes sees 30% of maturation in used oak, with the remainder matured in tank. Offering notes of pear, honeysuckle and iodine, it’s medium to full-bodied, concentrated and inviting, laden with vibrant acidity and concluding with a delicately chalky finish.

    This exceptional village Chablis has a deceptively pale yellow colour with hints of green, yet boasts pronounced aromas of ripe Mirabelle plum, exotic passion fruit and delicate white flowers. The texture is creamy and the palate has a lovely depth of flavour. The grapes are from three parcels of 70-year-old vines totalling 1.8ha in the left-bank lieu-dit of Les Pargues; they are crushed as whole clusters and fermented in tank and old casks (25%) before bottling. Drink 2028-2045.

    Bottle
    $2100.00 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    Founded in the 1950s and now led by Virginie Moreau, this long-established Chablis estate has built a reputation for wines of purity, depth and precision. Virginie continues the legacy of her late husband Stéphane, who steered the domaine toward organic farming, indigenous fermentations and long lees ageing in a mix of stainless steel and neutral oak. The vineyards, centred around Préhy, Courgis and Chablis itself, are managed by hand and cropped at modest yields to capture the tension and minerality that define the region’s greatest sites. Moreau-Naudet's wines are recognised for their textural weight, unforced detail and faithful reflection of terroir, aligning them with the classic, artisanal style of Chablis.

    Forêts is part of the Montmains slope, and Moreau owns two plots totalling nearly two hectares. One parcel sits adjacent to Dauvissat's older vines, the other next to Raveneau's holdings, giving exposure to some of the region's most respected terroirs. Fermentation and ageing combine both steel and used oak (approximately 30 percent), and the wine is allowed to mature for two years. This cuvée is a pure statement of terroir with a mineral drive and layered structure.

    Other Reviews....
    Vinified in a combination of used oak (30%) and stainless steel, the 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Forêts is one of the highlights from Moreau-Naudet’s portfolio this year, beautifully exemplifying the classical Chablisien character. Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of beeswax, orange zest and pear, mingling with oyster shell, it’s medium to full-bodied, layered and tense, with vibrant acidity and excellent cut. It concludes with a pure, chalky finish. Virginie Moreau admits that in recent years she has given a slight preference to Forêts over the expressiveness of Vaillons. Readers will be able to make their own conclusions, as both wines come warmly recommended.

    Closure: Cork

    Founded in the 1950s and now led by Virginie Moreau, this long-established Chablis estate has built a reputation for wines of purity, depth and precision.

Moreau-Naudet's wines are recognised for their textural weight, unforced detail and faithful reflection of terroir, aligning them with the classic, artisanal style of Chablis.

    In the Chapelot section of Montée de Tonnerre, directly across from the Blanchots Grand Cru, Moreau farms just over one hectare split across older (50-year) and more recently replanted vines. The vineyard's sandy and rocky topsoils over Kimmeridgian limestone lend this wine a core of mineral austerity. Elevage mirrors that of the other premiers (long time on lees, mixed vessels), giving this wine both concentration and the potential for evolution.

    Other Reviews....
    With 12.5% alcohol, Moreau-Naudet’s 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is another success this year, soaring from the glass with a bouquet of beeswax, honeysuckle and crisp orchard fruit. Matured in a combination of old wood (30%) and tank, it’s medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated yet with good tension and structured around racy acids, with ample chalky extract and a long, sapid finish. It derives from a parcel just next to Raveneau’s.

    Produced by Dutch Rules Distilling Co., based in Mitcham, Melbourne, this gin is a tribute to the founder Danny Perera's Sri Lankan heritage.

    2024 Lamoresca Rosato
    Sicily, ITALY
    $47. 99
    Bottle
    $575.88 Dozen
    ABV: 13%
    Closure: Cork

    Set in the rugged hills of central Sicily's Caltanissetta province, Lamoresca is the home and passion project of Filippo Rizzo, whose organically farmed vineyards sit on ancient clay-limestone soils at around 450 metres altitude. The wines capture the raw, untamed beauty of inland Sicily, balancing generosity with freshness and a striking sense of place. Rizzo's thoughtful, low-intervention approach has made Lamoresca one of the island's most characterful and expressive small estates.

    A blend of 70% Nero d’Avola, 25% Frappato and 5% Moscato, the 2024 Rosato continues to bridge the gap between serious structure and easy drinkability. The mix of red and white grapes brings both depth and lift; the Nero d’Avola providing grip and savour, Frappato lending bright, red-fruited energy, and Moscato adding a gentle aromatic twist. It's a vivid and textural rosato that perfectly captures Lamoresca's earthy, vibrant personality.

    Terrifically concentrated and texturally voluminous yet tense and dry with an exceptionally long zesty finish.

    From a single vineyard planted in 1975. Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Aromas of lime, citrus and orange rind flood the nostrils followed by some chalky talc, green apple and slatey mineral notes. The mouth watering palate is bristling with lime, citrus and orange rind fruits which are both terrifically concentrated and texturally voluminous. Chalky talc, wet steel and flinty mineral elements express themselves across the back half. Tense and dry it has a spine of crisp, laser edged acidity which leans into the long zesty finish that shows exceptional drive.
    Drink over the next 6-8 years.

    A bright and juicy version of the variety, vibrant and cooling, citrusy in a pretty way. Some rosy lift and a general sense of lemongrass and ginger brightness in the mix. So even, flowing, deeply flavoursome. A pleasing and generous style of riesling, unashamed of its origins and feeling pure and natural as it goes. Delicious. Serious. Complex. Drink by 2035.

    Sullivans Cove Single Cask TD0173 American Oak 17 Year Old Single Malt Australian Whisky (700ml)
    Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
    $799. 00
    Bottle
    $9588.00 Dozen
    ABV: 47.5%

    American oak cask TD0173 yielded 204 bottles at 47.5% Alc./Vol.

    The American Oak Old & Rare range showcases some of the distillery’s oldest and most exceptional American oak casks, aged far beyond the standard American Oak Single Cask releases. Drawn from barrels that have allowed the development of extraordinary depth and complexity over more than a decade, these whiskies offer richer, more concentrated flavours and a luxurious texture that only extended maturation can achieve. Bottled in highly limited quantities, they represent the pinnacle of Sullivans Cove’s American oak expression.

    That Boutique-y Whisky Company Balblair 11 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $149. 99
    Bottle
    $1799.88 Dozen
    ABV: 45.8%

    Although now a single malt with its own brand, the majority of the whisky made at Balblair still goes towards the Blended Scotch industry. Clear worts, long fermentation in wooden washbacks, and distillation in small, stumpy stills produces a richly fruity new make character alongside a sulphury/meaty note. The outturn for this indie release was 350 bottles from a first-fill bourbon barrel. The label features a character from Boutique-y's original Balblair label that took inspiration from the film 'The Angel's Share', which was shot at the distillery. 45.8% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Overall, a very nice whisky. Definitely on the ripe, fruity side and very pleasing. This one has a fruit basket from the garden, with the fruit already fallen from the tree and the bees feasting on it. You won't find much more, but it's perfectly adequate and enriches my whisky heaven greatly. A few percent more would suit it well. The nose is its great strength. Highly recommended. - whiskybase.com

    Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Fruity, tropical notes of banana bread, foam banana sweeties, vanilla custard, Tarte Tatin. Palate: Sweet, creamy malt, white chocolate buttons, vanilla cream and sweet cinnamon with a touch of green banana beneath. Finish: Creamy vanilla and soft, sweet fruits linger, with a touch of herbaceous barley and a pinch of peppercorn heat.

    Sullivans Cove Single Cask TD0278 American Oak 16 Year Old Single Malt Australian Whisky (700ml)
    Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
    $799. 00
    Bottle
    $9588.00 Dozen
    ABV: 46.1%

    Matured in American oak for 16 years, this single cask release had an outturn of 175 bottles at 46.1% Alc./Vol. These bottlings show the consistency of house character when matured in a controlled, familiar cask type, typically offering notes of vanilla, stone fruit and soft oak spice. Non chill filtered.

    From early bottlings that were sometimes awkward and experimental, Sullivan’s Cove has emerged as one of the top whisky producers in the Southern hemisphere. Founded in 1994, Patrick Macguire joined the company five years later as Head Distiller, spearheading a new bottle design and refining the portfolio. By 2007, the distillery gained international recognition with their American Oak winning Liquid Gold (95/100) in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible. Even greater praise was to follow, with the title of World’s Best Single Malt at the prestigious World Whiskies Awards in London in 2014. In 2016 the distilllery was sold, but the core range has persisted (American Oak, French Oak and Double Cask. For collectors, a special single cask range includes older age statements and cask strength expressions). Thirty years on, Sullivans Cove's output is better than ever, affirmed by a meticulous new distillery and significantly bigger production to meet global demand. The majority of the whiskies are aged in either 300L French oak ex-tawny barrels or 200L American oak ex-bourbon barrels and generally bottled between 6 and 9 years.

    That Boutique-y Whisky Company Campbeltown 8 Year Old Cask Strength Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (500ml) - Batch 4
    Campbeltown, SCOTLAND
    $114. 99
    Bottle
    $1379.88 Dozen
    ABV: 52.3%

    Blended malts from Campbeltown are trending. The style and quality of the distillates means they're invariably very tasty drams (Springbank's own Campbeltown Loch is a case in point). Adorned with the ominous spectacle of a meteor strike on its label, this edition was bottled for the End of the World series by the reputable indie, That Boutique-y Whisky Company. 454 bottles were drawn from a first-fill bourbon barrel at 52.3% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... The first nose is a smooth pleasant bourbon. More like Lowland than Campbelltown. Grass, hay, lemon, a little lime honey. The more one breathes, the more alcohol spices. Breathing in a bit of cork + cellar dampness + oak. The taste is sweet, very drinkable hay-grass, The finish is medium - short. It's surprising for this strength. Although there is wax in the taste on the back of the tongue, rounded by oak. Quite a nice blend, but definitely not Campbelltown style. - whiskybase.com

    Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Crisp apple and biscuity malt cushion soft waves of oily, coastal smoke. Preserved lemon and black pepper follow, with hints of floral garden herbs. Palate: Big rich layers of roasted barley and toasted oats join cider apples and subtly tarry smoke. Finish: Charred oak, barky cinnamon, a touch of clove, stewed tea, and dried herbs.

    That Boutique-y Whisky Company Dalmunach 7 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (500ml) - Batch 1
    Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $119. 99
    Bottle
    $1439.88 Dozen
    ABV: 48.5%

    Sourced from a host of bourbon and oloroso octave casks, this youthful Dalmunach is another in Boutiquey's 'End of the World' series. The label depicts an apocalyptic scenario triggered by an AI malfunction. Behold the encroaching cataclysm! Batch 1 is a release of 453 bottles at 48.5% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Taste is bready, salty and a bit hot (but not annoyingly so), with gentle subtle notes of salty lime. Salted crust sourdough. That quite literal barley huskiness reminds me of The Glenlivet. Faint orangey note. Just hinting at starting to pick up some complexity. It’s a decent whisky. A couple more years and some good casks and we’d have a solid Speyside whisky on our hands. Very promising. - whiskybase.com

    Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Roasted malt, soft stone fruits, and overripe orchard fruits open the way for trickles of honey, lemon and lime marmalade, and peppercorns. Palate: The zesty citrus from the nose carries through, joined by prunes, salted papaya, and toasted coconut, with waves of creamy oaken vanilla throughout. Finish: Toasted oak, vanilla, a smidge of dried chilli flake heat.

    2023 Mr Riggs Outpost Coonawarra Cabernet
    Coonawarra, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
    $19. 99
    Bottle
    $239.88 Dozen
    Cellar: Drink now - 6 Years (2025-2031)
    ABV: 14%
    Closure: Stelvin

    Ben Riggs sourced the fruit for this excellent Cabernet Sauvignon from one of Coonawarra’s top growers - Michael Wetherall’s, Wetherall Estate. From two premium vineyards on the estate that are a combination of terra rossa and sandy loam soils, the sites are located at the northern end of the region and are traditionally some of the earlier ripening blocks that deliver lower yields but excellent concentration. Picked on different days and from different blocks to allow for optimum ripening and multiple blending options, parcels of fruit for this Cabernet were separately fermented in 5 tonne open fermenters. On skin fermentation was completed before pressings were sent to barrel to complete fermentation in a 30% new French and 5% American oak combination.

    A beautifully balanced Coonawarra Cabernet that’s deeply concentrated and amply fleshed yet wonderfully refined.

    Dense midnight black core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Sailing out of the glass with plenty of intensity are enticing blackcurrant, mulberry and choc mint aromas which intermingle with vanillin cedar, tobacco and spicy dried herb notes. Rich blackcurrant, liquorice and mulberry fruits caress the mid weighted palate with ample flesh and concentration. Lending further interest are notions of spicy vanillin cedar, earthy tobacco and infusions of bay leaf. Beautifully balanced and structured it has fine grained tannins and a finish that’s long and deep yet refined.
    Drink over the next 5-6 years.

    Other Reviews....
    A classic regional statement here, again sourcing the variety from outside Riggs’s home base – and unsurprisingly Coonawarra, showcasing its best-known features. Starts with a fragrant crush of black berries, bay leaf and mint providing their herbal aromatics, before easing into the palate with a certain grace and elegance, juicy, superfine tannin feels with just a delicate grab to finish, oak supportive and balanced – impressive given a decent amount is new French. Winner winner lamb shank dinner.

    $1199.88 Dozen
    ABV: 58%

    Set sail for the high seas with Dutch Rules' navy strength. Intense and punchy, this juniper forward gin is complexed by foraged coastal ingredients like karkalla, saltbush and toasted seaweed, alongside olive leaf and mountain pepper leaf. The result is a 'umami style', salty and savoury, with a refreshing finish from river mint, cucumber & lemon peel. If you're buying this for G&Ts, Dutch Rules recommends a light tonic with a slice of lemon. 58% Alc./Vol.

    Barrel No. TD0203 was a French oak cask that resulted in 402 bottles at a strength of 49.5% Alc./Vol.

    The French Oak Single Cask range is renowned for its bold, decadent character, achieved through full-term maturation in French oak casks that once held Australian tawny. These casks impart intense flavours of dark fruit, rich spice, and velvety sweetness, creating a deeply layered and luxurious whisky. Widely celebrated on the world stage, previous French Oak releases have won accolades such as “World’s Best Single Cask Single Malt” at the World Whiskies Awards, cementing their reputation for power, complexity, and a long, indulgent finish.

    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.

    Matured in American oak for 16 years, this single cask release had an outturn of 172 bottles at 50.6% Alc./Vol. These bottlings show the consistency of house character when matured in a controlled, familiar cask type, typically offering notes of vanilla, stone fruit and soft oak spice. Non chill filtered.

    From early bottlings that were sometimes awkward and experimental, Sullivan’s Cove has emerged as one of the top whisky producers in the Southern hemisphere. Founded in 1994, Patrick Macguire joined the company five years later as Head Distiller, spearheading a new bottle design and refining the portfolio. By 2007, the distillery gained international recognition with their American Oak winning Liquid Gold (95/100) in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible. Even greater praise was to follow, with the title of World’s Best Single Malt at the prestigious World Whiskies Awards in London in 2014. In 2016 the distilllery was sold, but the core range has persisted (American Oak, French Oak and Double Cask. For collectors, a special single cask range includes older age statements and cask strength expressions). Thirty years on, Sullivans Cove's output is better than ever, affirmed by a meticulous new distillery and significantly bigger production to meet global demand. The majority of the whiskies are aged in either 300L French oak ex-tawny barrels or 200L American oak ex-bourbon barrels and generally bottled between 6 and 9 years.

    French Oak ex-Pinot Noir Single Cask SC0387 was filled in August of 2017 into a single barrel. It's the Sullivans Cove expression that has become a legend, and one of the most sought-after Australian whiskies after winning World’s Best at the World Whiskies Awards in 2014 - and again in 2019. At seven years old, this cask was decanted in September of 2024, bottled unflocked and unfiltered at 46.1% Alc./Vol with an outturn of 379 bottles.

    Notes from the producers... Nose: Deep and evocative, where dark fruits and savoury intrigue entwine. Prunes and truffle lead into cherries, liquorice, and worn leather, met with the richness of strawberry jam and blackcurrant jelly. A flicker of flint, potpourri, and rose oil lends brightness, while the warmth of fresh lemon leaf, sage, dried hay, coriander and tobacco lingers. White pepper and cinnamon thread through, grounding the florals of violet and dried herbs. Palate: Umami-laden and richly textured, unfurling with the depth. The juicy, crunchy red berries of Tasmanian Pinot have been cooked down to a delightful mixed red berry jam, and lifted by cherry brightness. A full, rolling body carries silky tannins, interwoven with tea leaf, bay, and the savoury intrigue of curry leaf musk. Cola and thick cream provide contrast, met by the delicate fizz of creaming soda. Chinese roast duck, olive brine, and a hint of flint lend complexity. Finish: Supple tannins stretch the experience, carrying autumn leaves and the bittersweet warmth of cola. Alpine amaro lends its herbal grip, before hoisin, lemon rind, and coriander seed cut through with freshness. A final wave of citrus peel and Christmas pudding deepens into the dark fruit richness of plum sauce.

    "The journey ends here for those looking for a big vanilla bourbon." - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2024

    The second release in Elijah Craig’s 2023 Barrel Proof series. For those new to this label, the batch number provides specific information. So, for this release, 'B' stands for the 2nd batch in an annual A, B, C line. The 5 denotes the release month (May) while the 23 represents the year of release (Australian allocations always take longer than usual to arrive). The whiskey was aged 11 years and 5 months before bottling at 62.1% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... fresher than its years...Quite waxy in part with tannins building almost surreptitously . The sweetened vanillas are pretty full on; light coffee/mocha trace; though that coffee is a bit heavy on the high roast bitternesss late on. An elegant bourbon which reveals its age in ocassional fits and starts. The journey ends here for those looking for a big vanilla bourbon. 91 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2024

    Notes from the producers... “The nose will knock you off your feet. The palate is ridiculously viscous, with cinnamon candies, rye, barrel, roasted vanilla bean & chocolate.”

    ABV: 40%

    Double distilled from plums in the traditional fashion and presented in a distinctive round 'pocket watch' bottle, Specht Slivovitz offers a flavour profile that's as intriguing as its history. Inspired by old-country grappas made by Eastern Europeans who lived off the land, contemporary versions like this come close to eau de vie in flavour and body, tasting of plums or prunes while being full-bodied with a hearty spirit sweetness. Typically served as a digestif, warmed in the glass, you can also use Slivovitz in drinks like the Plum Brandy Sour or Plum Martini. The spirit has also become popular in hot toddies, mixed with honey, lemon and hot water. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Makers Mark Star Hill Farm American Whisky (700ml)
    Kentucky, UNITED STATES
    $380. 00
    Bottle
    $4560.00 Dozen
    ABV: 57.4%

    Named after the company’s 1100-acre farm that surrounds the distillery, Star Hill Farm marks a shift in focus for the brand, being Maker’s first ever wheat whiskey, composed of 51% Soft Red Winter Wheat, 27% Malted Soft Red Winter Wheat and 22% Malted Barley. Zero corn is used. There's no age statement, however the label indicates it was distilled around 7-8 years ago, so expect something within that range. It's also high-proof and priced as an artisan product. Eric Hasman at breakingbourbon.com got a chance to taste the new premium release, summing up his thoughts as follows: "While it shares some similarities with the standard Maker’s Mark Bourbon, it is also refreshingly adventurous and contemporary... The majority of the sip is an invigorating change of pace, offering robust flavors, but using so much wheat in its mashbill has its drawbacks. That is evident in the whiskey’s finish, which features much more astringent oak than desired despite including so much malted wheat grain in its mashbill. Though it hampers what is otherwise a great pour, it’s not detrimental to the point of derailing the whole sip." 57.4% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Maker’s newest annual release blends wheat whiskey made from a mash of 70% wheat and 30% malted barley with 100% malted wheat whiskey, creating a fruity, rustic, and peppery pour. On the nose there’s brown sugar, chocolate chip cookies, lemon- ade, and a campfire-like hint of burnt wood. The palate is fruitier, with fruit tarts and bright citrus. A pepperiness shines with a prickle that fades slowly into toasted oak. (Release date: 5/25) 92 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    "A very nice endeavor by Maker’s! Sweet, floral, rich and nuanced. There’s a bitter, tannic side to the pour that works in tandem with the sweetness to spectacular effect at times but at other moments takes a bit too much focus off the sweet, rich notes. The tannic profile adds some complexity; I just wish it were dialed down a notch or two — minor complaint about an altogether spectacular whiskey. Make no mistake: Maker’s Mark’s first wheat whiskey is a roaring success." - The Daily Pour

    "The palate doesn’t surprise: It’s sweet, with brown sugar, then maple syrup becoming dominant. Again it’s quite toasty — like well-grilled wheat bread, not barrel char — which pairs well with the syrup quality to create a Sunday morning breakfast character. Pancakes are not out of the question here." - drinkhacker.com

    St. Agnes XXO Exceptional Reserve 50 Year Old Brandy (700ml)
    Renmark, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
    $4799. 00
    Bottle
    $57588.00 Dozen
    ABV: 46%

    "One of the greatest achievements in Australian winemaking and distilling." - Luke McCarthy

    At the time of writing, this is the oldest Australian spirit ever released, the majority distilled between 1970 and 1972 from Doradillo, Pedro Ximenez, Palomino and sultana grapes. Aromatics match the age statement; profound and superbly integrated, laden with rancio, buttered date cake, traces of old muscat, fig paste and fruit'n'nut dark chocolate with no loss of intensity after ample air contact. At five decades, the spirit warmth remains surprisingly present; It's brandy, no question, yet like its 30-year-old sibling, the profile draws comparison with high-end sherried single malt - it could be a single cask Glendronach or Macallan, for example, out of PX - especially at the finish where sticky date is more salient, checked by hints of orange zest. Pulsing persistence confirms this is seriously old material, and the complex fruit and nut interplay has to compete with some venerable oak. Sweet spices slowly retreat, leaving a glaze of rancio and ancient fortified wine through the aftertaste. Exceptional, and a brandy for lovers of single malt or Armagnac, more so than Cognac. 46% Alc./Vol. 50ml sample.

    Other reviews... The mahogany colour indicates plenty of oak, which pays off on the nose – this is far woodier than the younger releases. Forest floor and an attic full of antique furniture creep out of the glass, and perhaps monsters lurk here. Please don't approach unless you like oak. But there’s Cherry Ripe, too, and that St Agnes creaminess I love. On the palate, it turns out the monster wants to hug you. Sure, it smells of sandalwood and leaf litter, but it’s a soft hug nonetheless, and the tannin on the finish is incredibly creamy, like an excellent cup of black tea rather than a dusty old bit of wood. This is perfectly true to style and an outstanding achievement by any measure. 96 points - Fred Siggins, winecompanion.com.au

    Notes from the producers... The mahogany colour hints at the flavour in the glass. It smells of decades old tawny, Persian dates, marmalade and snow-white pebbles. It smells of old oiled cricket bats, rocky road chocolate and rose water. It fans out like a peacock’s tail on the palate. Viscous and luscious, bitter candied orange and caramelised apricot. It’s like inhaling the Barrel Halls, as the nutty rancio characters emerge and it just doesn’t stop, as hints of leather, cardamon, prunes and spice-rack linger. There’s light and shade, bright corners and dark corners. It’s hard not to get carried away when tasting an aged spirit with this level of depth and heritage. The kind of spirit that gives you goosebumps and makes the hairs on your neck stand up. One of the greatest achievements in Australian winemaking and distilling. - Luke McCarthy

    St. Agnes XO Centenary Reserve Cask Strength Single Cask 30 Year Old Brandy (700ml)
    Renmark, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
    $749. 00
    Bottle
    $8988.00 Dozen
    ABV: 50.5%

    St.Agnes debuted this line several years ago, marking their first single cask release in over a century. Distilled from a Doradillo base wine, the bouquet is decadent, thick with oaky vanillas, cafe cremes, salted caramel chocolate, sticky date pudding and Rare Port, all sprinkled with cinnamon. At natural strength, it fulfils expectations; the flavour drive is impressive, the profile repeating the promise of the nose with an initial burst of juicy spiced-raisins, dried figs and apricots, tempered by tingling acidity and sweet oak. The tannins are fine-grained, the alcohol warms the heart and the overall balance near perfect. It's the beast of the collection, and arguably the most 'brandy-like', but the similarities to cask strength sherried single malts are also undeniable. Malt lovers take note! 50.5% Alc./Vol. 1995 distillation tasted.

    Other reviews... At 55% alcohol, the Centenary Reserve has a lot more punch than St Agnes’ other brandies. Still, they’ve chosen less active casks here as the orange peel sweetness is far more apparent than oak on the nose, which is super cool for a spirit so old, especially when so many Aussie spirits are over-oaked at a 10th of this age. Whisky makers take note! The alcohol does present a bit of a barrier to nuance on the nose, but there’s still toasted almond and mint ice cream to be found. The entry on the palate is incredible, with big, warm, marmalade sweetness. Where the high alcohol hides some things on the nose, it explodes them across the tongue. This is my favourite palate of any St Agnes I’ve tried. The finish is still gentle with that hallmark St Agnes creaminess, and the fact that they can bottle at 55% without any burn is awe-inspiring. Remarkable. 97 points - Fred Siggins, winecompanion.com.au

    Notes from the producers... , it’s instantly floral and fruity, with a bright freshness that’s hard to believe considering the age. Highly concentrated and fragrant, with poached pear, dried fig and crushed mint leaves. Delicious as it progresses, creamy and moreish, with a slightly leathery, linseed character. Minimal wood extraction allowing the distillate to shine. As complex and refined as Australian brandy gets, and what an invocation of the doradillo grape where it all started in 1925.

    Excellent fruit intensity and flesh with slightly chalky tannins and bright acidity.

    Sangiovese was pioneered in Australia by Coriole with the first vineyards planted in 1985. It provided a contrasting style to shiraz - the great tradition of McLaren Vale - and has proven to be ideally suited to the warm maritime climate of the region.
    Red to dark red colour with black shaded edges and a vibrant red hue. Intense dark cherry and ripe red currant aromas jump out of the glass followed by some dried herb, earth and spicy tobacco notes. Juicy red currant and ripe cherry fruits flood the mid weighted palate overlaying a red liquorice, dried herb, earth and spicy tobacco back drop. Excellent fruit intensity and flesh with slightly chalky tannins and bright acidity. Long, generously fruited, spice laden finish.
    Drink over the next 3-4 years.

    Such a reliable performer. I probably say something similar most years. Sometimes the well of inspiration runs dry when it comes to my introductions. Bright, crunchy, energetic sort of wine. Red cherry, raspberry, iron filings, some dried herb and almond. It’s medium-bodied, has a light grainy grip to tannin, good varietal flavour, and a lively finish of excellent length. Good stuff. Drink 2025-2032.

    'The Irishman' is a brand from the same company behind the award winning 'Writer's Tears' Irish whiskeys. This is a triple-distilled expression aged in a combination of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks for a minimum of ten years. An attractive spicy fruit-cake integration into what is otherwise, a typical pot still profile. Air contact draws out a spirity, brittle edge to the malt. Third pass finds the intensity drop, revealing light orchard fruits, vanilla cream biscuits and slight caramel. Light-weighted, but the oils add body to what is a distinctive Irish: Sherried-vanilla meets a chocolate box of fruity cocoa in the aftertaste. Quaffable straight, but adding ice makes a noticeable difference to the texture. 40% Alc./Vol. [Batch 1916/2016] 

    Other reviews... [Batch 1703/2013] The Walsh Family releases 6,000 bottles in every small batch of their single malt. Each bottling is a combination of triple distilled whiskey matured in oloroso sherry and bourbon casks. The nose is bright with vanilla icing, butterscotch, and dried peach. The taste is quite active, with honey, cinnamon, gingerbread, ground almond, and dark chocolate. There is a brief flat spot where the bitterness burns through, before it fades to leave a pleasing tickle around the gums. 85 points - whiskyadvocate.com (Fall 2014) Reviewed by: Jonny McCormick

    $455.88 Dozen
    ABV: 13%
    Closure: Stelvin

    Founded in 1983, Gembrook Hill is one of the Upper Yarra Valley's benchmark estates, planted on a cool, elevated site with volcanic soils that naturally lend themselves to producing fine-boned, ageworthy wines. Over four decades on, the estate has become a reference point for the region, with wines built on clarity, restraint, and a deep sense of place.

    A long-standing benchmark in the Yarra, this Sauvignon Blanc shows the estate’s signature restraint and balance, offering a style that sits well apart from more fruit-driven interpretations of the variety.

    Other Reviews....
    From vines planted on an east-facing slope in Gembrook in '83. Barrel fermented in large format seasoned French oak. Perfumed and pithy. Aromas of pink grapefruit, gooseberry and white flowers together with a gentle herbaceousness. Flows seamlessly on the sapid, fine-boned palate. Another classic sauvignon blanc from Gembrook. Drink 2025-2030.

    Delicate perfumes introduce a wine of presence. This release is as good as it always is. Lemon oil, lemongrass, nashi pear, woodsmoke, gravel and whispers of both passionfruit and snow peas. The nose on this wine is exquisite; the palate is perfectly composed. There’s just-enough texture and good carry through the finish. This release had me at hello but every step thereafter it sealed the deal. Drink 2026-2031+.

    Best Pinot Noir - Yarra Valley Wine Show 2025

    The Wanderer is the personal project of Gembrook Hill winemaker Andrew Marks, who draws on select sites across the Yarra Valley to craft wines that reflect both vineyard character and his own light-handed approach. It’s an outlet for Andrew to explore parcels beyond the family estate, with the Upper Yarra Pinot Noir sitting at the core of the range and underscoring the finesse that this cooler part of the region can deliver.

    Sourced from a single vineyard in Yellingbo, a cooler site in the Upper Yarra, this wine captures the elegance and fine detail that Andrew consistently seeks in his work with Pinot Noir. Winemaking sees 20% whole bunches incorporated, and is matured in large format French oak (30% new) for a period of 11 months.

    Other Reviews....
    This is another super release. Read everything you can about Australian pinot noir and then just go out and buy Wanderer and Gembrook Hill. Smoke, red cherries, fragrant herbs, undergrowth and graphite. The tension in this wine is electric; the finish is authoritative; the complexity is inherent and from the first sip to the last you are fully aware that you are in the hands of beauty. But this – at $58, remarkably – and you’re missing out on nothing. Drink 2026-2033+.

    Vignerons Schmölzer & Brown is the partnership of winemaker-viticulturist Tessa Brown and architect Jeremy Schmölzer, crafting wines from high-altitude vineyards in Beechworth and the King Valley. Their estate vineyard, Thorley, sits over 700m ASL and is farmed with organic practices in all but the most challenging years. Working with minimal intervention, they focus on purity, balance, and drinkability. The range includes single-site wines from Thorley, Brunnen, and Obstgarten, as well as their approachable Prêt-à series.

    A vibrant blend of Beechworth Shiraz (50%), Pinot Noir (40%), and Sangiovese (10%) from organically managed vineyards. The very cool 2023 vintage has produced a more delicate and quietly expressive wine, layered with macerated strawberry, blueberry, and cherry, lifted by a touch of oregano and savoury spice. Light in frame yet long in flavour, it carries Beechworth’s hallmark structure with fine tannins and a gently tapering finish.

    ABV: 12.5%
    Closure: Cork

    Sylvain Pataille has been instrumental in raising the profile of Marsannay since founding his domaine in 1999. Farming around 17 hectares biodynamically, he works with a remarkable diversity of sites, from old-vine Pinot Noir to rare Aligoté Doré and Pinot Beurot, and is known for sensitive, terroir-driven élevage with a high proportion of whole bunches. His work has been central to the ongoing push for premier cru recognition in Marsannay, and his wines are frequently cited as reference points for the appellation. They combine clarity and lift with impressive depth, proving that Marsannay belongs firmly among the most serious terroirs of the Côte de Nuits.

    This Marsannay Villages comes from five parcels including Les Larreys, Clos du Roy and En Blungey, as well as fruit from newly planted vines in Couchée. The oldest vines in the cuvée date from 1949. It’s fermented and aged for 18 months in 600-litre barrels, and Pataille uses a little new oak.

    Other Reviews....
    Firm reduction overshadows the fruit today though there is good freshness to the sleek, racy and delineated middle weight flavors that possess slightly better complexity on the super-refreshing, clean and bracingly dry finale. This should also drink well young or with 2 to 3 years of cellaring. Drink through 2026+.

    The 2022 Marsannay Blanc is a blend of several parcels. It was fairly reduced on the nose when I encountered it. The palate is more promising—much more—finely balanced with perfectly judged acidity, tangible mineralité, and a delicacy on the finish that I appreciate. Give it 12 months once in bottle. Drink 2025-2033.

    Paler in colour and with a notably reductive nose, which does some good given the creamy note behind. Plenty of energy, medium bodied, lacks a bit of individuality but clearly well made, with a mineral finish helped by the reduction. The finish is the best bit. Drink from 2025-2028.

    With a patchwork of vines covering over two hectares, this is arguably Pataille's signature red cuvée. The vineyards are spread across Chenôve, Couchey and Marsannay-la-Côte. All the vines were planted between 1950 and 1980, with the youngest being 40 years old. The wines are all aged in a mixture of used barriques and several old demi-muids (600lt). The final blend includes around 80% whole bunches.

    Other Reviews....
    The 2022 Marsannay Rouge is a mixture of Domaine and négoce wines (from Pataille's father). Initially, it is a little timid, but it opens nicely with aeration, bringing flinty black fruit with the 80% whole bunches imparting a light pepperiness. The palate is medium-bodied with granular tannins, fresh and vibrant, finishing with a touch of black olive. Drink 2025-2032.

    Alongside Longeroies and Champ Perdix, the Clos du Roy is one of Marsannay’s largest and most revered vineyards. Some consider it the appellation’s finest terroir, which makes sense when you consider the name: Roy is the ancient French spelling of roi, meaning king. It’s a steep, east-facing slope above the village of Chenôve, on the same line as the Gevrey Premiers Crus to the south. It has lightish red soil, including some sand, over a bed of Comblanchien limestone. When Marsannay finally gets its first Premier Cru (expected 2024), Clos du Roy will likely be at the front of the queue.

    Pataille farms a serious 2.25 hectares in the clos, from vines planted in 1952, 1965, 1978 and 2001. As for the winemaking, ‘the king’s vineyard’ gets the royal treatment in the cellar, with 18 months in barrel and six months in tank before being bottled unfiltered. It ferments almost entirely as whole bunches.

    Other Reviews....
    The Marsannay Clos du Roy from Pataille is consistently among the top wines of the northern Côte de Nuits. The 2022 features soulful, super-ripe cassis and bramble fruit aromas with a savoury, smoky edge. The texture is dense and concentrated, with abundant tannin and enough freshness to drive this to an impressively long finish. The grapes are from Pataille's parcel of more than two hectares of mature vines planted in this south-east facing site's limestone pebbles and clay soil. It is slightly closed at present, but it should open in three to five years and drink well for at least another 20 years after that. Drink 2030-2070.

    Charles Curtis MW - Decanter

    Once again there is a highly attractive floral quality to the softly spicy if distinctly earthy nose that features mostly notes of dark currant and exotic tea. There is good underlying tension to the well-detailed medium weight flavors that are shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins on the chiseled and sneaky long finish that is akin to rolling tiny pebbles around in the mouth. This decidedly firm effort is an excellent example of the vineyard though one that will need all of a decade to arrive at its apogee. Drink through 2032+.

    The 2022 Marsannay Clos du Roy has a very well-defined bouquet with black cherries and wild strawberries, hints of inkwell and brine joining the chorus line with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, taut and fresh, with a very elegant, poised finish. About as good a Marsannay as you will find in this vintage. Drink 2025-2038.

    A hedonistic deep purple colour. The nose is quite backward but obviously all the fruit is there. A very dense red berry fruit, minerals behind. Still unknit but on the road to becoming spectacular. Drink from 2028-2034.
