2021 Best's Great Western Sparkling Shiraz

Great Western, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
Reduced from $31.99
$29. 99
Bottle
$359.88 Dozen

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

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Crown Seal

Sparkling Shiraz is a unique Australian wine that’s synonymous with the Great Western region having been in production since the early 1900’s. The base wine for this cuvee is left on yeast lees in bottle for 36 months or more and disgorged in the traditional method. The dosage liqueur contains a small quantity of very old Best’s Liqueur Muscat.

Sparkling Shiraz is an unique Australian wine and few producers do it as well as Best’s.

Pours with exuberantly frothy mousse that fills the glass then slowly fades in to a deep dark red black coloured base that’s threaded by a steady stream of fine bubbles. Heady aromas of dark plum, liquorice and dark chocolate waft through the nostrils complimented by some vanillin spice, blackberry and subtle earthy mocha notes. Rich, engulfing dark plum, blackberry, liquorice and dark chocolate flavours carry an opulent, creamy feel across the palate with earthy mocha and vanilla spice accents sitting in the background. Concludes long and decadent yet with an airy freshness.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Other Reviews….
I believe this is only recently bottled, though I’m used to that. There’s something of a cru Beaujolais character to this wine, which is likely a strange thing to say, though that’s kind of how it presents. 5% new oak. 5% whole bunch.
Juicy, red fruits, spice, potpourri, roast peanuts. It’s medium-bodied, plenty of energy here, crisp cool acidity, light emery board tannin, a pop to cherry and red fruits, some cola nut and dried herb, a slight smokiness, with a spicy orange zest finish of excellent length. Very good drinking here. Likely better with a little more time in bottle. Drink 2026-2032.

The cherry-infused palate is beautifully supple and perfectly ripe. Fruit is the undeniable hero, with seamless integration between the two varieties. Pinot makes up 30% of the blend, with the MV6 clone sourced from the Travertine Vineyard. 'Best's clone' shiraz is sourced from the Wills Hill Vineyard and displays natural elegance and intensity. The blend spends three months in oak, of which 40% is new, which sweetens and fills out the mid-palate, followed by three months in tank to preserve the primary fruit. Drink by 2030.

$29. 99
Bottle
$359.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 2 Years (2025-2027)

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Stelvin

A gorgeously shaped Pinot Grigio that shows impressive intensity.
Friuli, in the far northeast of Italy, has a reputation for making the country's best white wines. Winemaker Justin Bubb explains, "The key to this region is the difference in diurnal temperature. In the growing season the days are very warm but the nights freezing. This allows a nice, long ripening and wonderful aromatics for the white wines".
From a 30-year-old site in San Martino al Tagliamento, near Pordenone, the vineyard sits at the base of the Alps and the soils are a mix of clay and alpine gravel from alluvial deposits.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a watery hue. Lifted pear and red apple skin aromas drift through the nostrils followed by some lime, faint dried honey and wet stone notes. Delicious pear, red apple and lime fruits are delivered with impressive intensity over a delicate dried honey and stony mineral back drop. Gorgeously shaped it has brisk acidity and a long dry finish that carries a slippery textural feel.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.

This is very structured for a 2022, with fine, linear tannins that run the length of the wine, giving backbone, focus and a tight fruit structure. It’s very typical for a Central Otago pinot. So much clarity and focus to this. Drink now or hold. Screw cap.

Composed of 97/3% shiraz/viognier. Four different shiraz clones, four separate ferments and a whole lot of winemaking, including fermentation in an imported Italian concentrate 'tulip', go into this little beauty. Deepest purple hues. Makes a youthful, almost playful fist of shiraz with plenty of lively black- and red-fruited energy and pretty aromatics. Violet, sage, peppercorn, earth, allspice and dark cocoa powder pack the palate. It's complex, slurpy delicious and has an astringent, dry finish. Drink by 2031.

Fermented in two parts: the first a wild ferment of destemmed fruit, the second undergoing carbonic maceration. The maker's second release of barbera and the question has to be: why did it take so long? The site, the grape, offers a rollicking, fresh delivery of red fruits and gentle spice in the best tradition of the Italian red grape. Plum, mulberry, blackcurrant pastille, red licorice and a sprinkling of dried herbs combine with the brightest of acidity to deliver one good drinking wine for good times. Drink by 2028.

Kilchoman Machir Bay 2025 Edition Cask Strength Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND
$164. 99
Bottle
$1979.88 Dozen

ABV: 58.1%

The first Machir Bay cask strength release in over three years!
For those who've been hanging for a new cask strength Machir Bay, the wait is over. Bottled at a natural strength, it employs the same cask regime as the standard Machir Bay, capturing the wonderfully intense, vibrant zesty character the distillery is known for. On the nose, there's baked citrus, brine, white pepper and savoury peat galore, soaked into a sponge of vanilla oak. Whiffs of liquorice and menthol continue the fresh Islay theme. Creamy and intense on entry; completely mouth filling with early vanillas and an oily, off-dry ashiness coming to the fore. Menthol cigarettes, spent cigars... the finish finds a touch of grassiness and a citric acidity, with a complexing minerality competing with the sweet oak. Very fine and emphatically maritime malt, as you would expect. Think Bruichladdich meets cask strength Lagavulin - and probably one of the best values from Islay in its category. 58.1% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.
Notes from the producers... Machir Bay Cask Strength shows a deep golden colour, richer than the standard expression. The nose is bold and smoky, with sweet vanilla and caramel from the bourbon barrels, layered with citrus and tropical fruit, and hints of floral and mineral complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and warming, with creamy malt sweetness balancing maritime peat smoke, fresh and candied citrus, toffee, and subtle spice. The finish is long and lingering, with smoke gradually giving way to vanilla, toasted coconut, and a soft saline note. This dram is perfect for those seeking a powerful and prolonged Machir Bay experience.

2024 Sadie Family Citrusdal Mountain Skurfberg Chenin Blanc

Western Cape, SOUTH AFRICA
$199. 00
Bottle
$2388.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

This extraordinary 100% Chenin Blanc hails from South Africa's northernmost wine region, the arid Citrusdal Mountain WO, on the west bank of the Olifants River. Specifically, the fruit is drawn from three parcels of 90-year-old, ungrafted bush vines on the decomposed, red sandstone slopes of the Skurfberg (which means 'rigid mountain'). Planted between 1940 and 1955, these are three immaculately farmed vineyards that have never been treated with herbicide or chemical fertilizers.
Fruit from each vineyard is vinified separately, basket-pressed, then transferred to old casks for natural fermentation. Following 12 months on lees, the wine is blended, then returned to the same casks for a further six months before being bottled directly from foudre.
Other Reviews....
Papayas, stones, apricots, chopped apples, hazelnuts and some rosemary on the nose. It’s compact and creamy, with a full body but lots of stony minerality, plus phenolic grip and texture. Salty and intense at the end. Chenin blanc planted on weathered limestone with high iron content. Drink or hold.

Claire Nesbitt - JamesSuckling.com
The 2024 Skurfberg comes from the north, drier areas of the Cape, the first picked of Sadie's Chenin Blancs. This has a lovely bouquet with beeswax, sea spray and light white linen scents, a touch of seaweed. The palate is well balanced with gentle grip, very linear, very strict, a wine that doesn't muck about. Serious, stern, yet the sapidity beckons you back for another sip. Drink 2026-2046.

2024 Sadie Family Swartland Kokerboom Semillon

Swartland, SOUTH AFRICA
$199. 00
Bottle
$2388.00 Dozen

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork

Following the Citrusdal Valley north towards Clanwilliam, we come to Sadie's highest vineyard, Kokerboom. Named for the striking aloe plants that grow near the vines, Kokerboom was planted on Table Mountain sandstone in the 1930's and is now home to one of Swartland's few remaining plantings of old-vine Semillon, a variety that at one time, made up 80% of South Africa's national plantings. Owned and managed by Henk Laing, Sadie notes that, "This is one of the most pristine old vineyards we know. No herbicides or artificial fertilizers have been used on it, and it has been perfectly pruned over the years. The downside is that it is small and low-yielding."
Kokerboom is a field blend of Semillon Blanc and Semillon Gris, the latter contributing between 20-30% depending on the year. Both Semillons are picked and pressed together and raised in large-format oak. Thanks to its solar exposition, the Semillon ripens extremely well here and has little to none of the tart herbaceousness so often associated with this grape. Instead, the Semillon from this site is known for its ripe lime character with more citrus and chamomile flavours and a waxy texture.
Other Reviews....
Sliced pears, beeswax, grapefruit, wild herbs and juniper berries on the nose of this full-bodied, creamy white. Lots of weight and layering, with a waxy yet fresh feel. Spicy, long finish. Exciting hint of ginger and tobacco at the very end. Co-planted semillon and semillon gris. Drink or hold.

Claire Nesbitt - JamesSuckling.com
The 2024 Kokerboom is a blend of Sémillon Blanc and Gris. Mellow on the nose, this is the most timid of Sadie's '24s at the moment, with very light wet wool and earthy aromas. The palate is very spicy on the entry, with a touch of ginger, linear and minimalist for Sémillon, with a bright, sapid, slightly fiery finish. Very fine. Drink 2027-2047.

2024 Sadie Family Swartland Pofadder Cinsault

Swartland, SOUTH AFRICA
$199. 00
Bottle
$2388.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

In the 1920's Cinsault was the most planted black grape in South Africa. However, as one of the fickler varieties to work with, it suffered a fall from grace post WW2. It's only very recently with growers such as Eben Sadie and Chris Alheit leading the charge, the Pinot Noir of Swartland has been reborn. The results are revelatory. This is a variety that is being planted more and more by some top growers in the south of France. Wines like this show you why.
Pofadder is a pure Cinsault, cropped from a parcel on the Kasteelberg Mountain (west of Malmesbury) planted in 1973. Here the soils are composed of slate and decomposed shale. Pofadder is Afrikaans for a puff adder, a type of snake that is known in these parts, and indeed, a puff adder claimed the life of a vineyard worker in the 1940s: hence the name.
Sadie is a champion for old vine Cinsault on the cape, but he concedes that this is the vineyard, and the wine, which needs the most care. Controlling yields, sorting bunches and berries and then protection from oxidation in the cellar are all vital. Eighty percent whole bunches were placed in an old wooden, open-top fermenter, with one or two gentle foot stomps each day to release enough juice to keep the fermentation ticking over. After a month on skins the grapes were then transferred to a tiny basket-press and pressed directly to an old wooden cask for aging. The resulting wine is a gloriously textured yet vibrant ode to both variety and region.
Other Reviews....
This pulls you in with aromas of peppercorns, citrus rind, rosemary, red cherries and red currants. It’s supremely fresh and silky, with a medium body and fine, seamless tannins. Elegant, but with tension and texture. Cinsault. Drink or hold.
95 points
Claire Nesbitt - JamesSuckling.com
"The 2024 Pofadder is the most fruit forward that I have seen it," remarked Eben Sadie. "A lot of guys pick early to make it Burgundian in style, but this site gives full ripeness at 13% alcohol. The slate soil is very important for this as the vines struggle a bit here." It has a crystalline bouquet with mineral-laden forward red fruit and bergamot that bursts from the glass without inhibition. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, gentle grip and powdery texture with a mineral/stony finish that lends a slight brittleness. Great transparency to this Pofadder. Excellent. Drink 2027-2045.

2024 Sadie Family Swartland Treinspoor Tinta Barroca

Swartland, SOUTH AFRICA
$199. 00
Bottle
$2388.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Tinta Barocca arrived in South Africa from the Duero and has found a home in the Western Cape. Historically Tinta Barocca has always played a prominent role in Swartland's red blends, though interest in the variety, particularly from the old, dry-grown vineyards, has really spiked in recent years. This vineyard, planted in 1974 and located next to the old railway line (treinspoor), lies four kilometres west of Malmesbury on decomposed granite and sandstone. Sadie notes that while the very fragile, thin skin of Tinta Barocca is prone to sunburn, the old bush vines keep the bunches sheltered from the intense Swartland sun. Sadie likens his Treinspoor to a sort of stylistic cross between Northern Rhone Syrah (blackberry/currant fruit, plushness, nettles) and Piemontese Nebbiolo, (spice, florals, acidity and tannins). That pretty much nails it. It's certainly a wine of great energy and drive, with its dark and inky core surrounded by layers of pretty, red fruit and florals all wrapped in fine, powdery tannins. Fermented in concrete and raised for 12 months in foudre, it's an outstanding, idiosyncratic red of great beauty and character.
Other Reviews....
This spicy, brooding yet pure wine has aromas of licorice, violets, blackberries, cranberries, graphite and hints of fennel. It’s medium- to full-bodied, firm and focused, with fantastic spicy undertones. Lots of structure. Tight and firm finish. Tinta barroca from 50-year-old vines. Try after 2026.

Claire Nesbitt - JamesSuckling.com
The 2024 Treinspoor is pure Tinta Barocca that Sadie said he loves the most, though he had to drop a lot of fruit in this vintage due to the dryness, around 35%. This blooms on the nose with sensual red berry fruit, rooibos, Earl Grey and light minerally scents, beautifully defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with a sappy opening, impressive density and weight, very pure and perhaps the most sensual of Sadie's OVS this vintage. Just a light tang of cracked black pepper on the finish. Excellent. Drink 2026-2046.

2024 Sadie Family Piekenierskloof Soldaat Grenache

Western Cape, SOUTH AFRICA
$199. 00
Bottle
$2388.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Soldaat is 100% Grenache from a parcel of 55-year-old vines in the highland Piekenierskloof region, just shy of the Swartland catchment, going north to Citrusdal. The vineyard got its name from the foot soldiers (piekeniers) who once used this area as a lookout. Hence the name Soldaat (Soldier). Sadie's easterly facing parcel sits around 780 meters, one of the Cape's highest elevations, and the soil is decomposed granite. The vines here are unirrigated, and still on their own rootstock. Eben notes that The Piekenierskloof Pass has firmly positioned itself as the leading location for Cape Grenache, with the area capable of giving vibrant, perfumed wines with lifted red fruit and spice as well as an earthy minerality (reminding us of the elegant, perfumed Garnachas from Gredos and San Martín de Valdeiglesias, in the Madrid highlands). Regardless, this is something very different to the heavy, alcoholic wines that are so often a theme with Grenache. Whole-bunch except for 15% to get the fermentation going, Soldaat is fermented (and raised) entirely in concrete.
Other Reviews....
Sliced strawberries, pomegranates, rose hips, orange rind and wet stones on the nose of this supremely elegant, fragrant red. Sour cherries, too. It’s medium-bodied, very fresh and silky, with very fine tannins, seamless but present. Persistent and salty at the end. Great expression of grenache. Fermented and aged in concrete. Drink or hold.

Claire Nesbitt - JamesSuckling.com
The 2024 Soldaat is Sadie's Grenache cuvée with slightly higher alcohol compared to previous vintages, fermented and aged in concrete. That comes across on the nose, which is more generous, a little higher-toned than the '23. Plush red cherries and cranberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a tart entry, red cherries, pomegranate and crushed strawberry with gentle grip on the finish. A lovely Soldaat that will give 12 to 15 years' drinking pleasure. Drink 2025-2038.

2024 Sadie Family Swartland Sonvang Red Field Blend

Swartland, SOUTH AFRICA
$199. 00
Bottle
$2388.00 Dozen

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork

Planted in 2019, Sadie's young co-planted vineyard sits on the granite soils of the western slope of the Paardeberg. Due to its aspect, it soaks up most of the afternoon sun, hence the name Sonvang, which means "sun catch." Planted with Alicante Bouschet, Agiorgitiko, Pontac, Bastardo do Castillo, Trincadera, Tinta Barocca, Lleudonder Pelut, Grenache Noir, Pinotage, Cinsault, Counoise and Carignan, the terroir allows the grapes to ripen early whilst retaining fresh acidity. At this point, each variety is picked and vinified separately before blending. In the future, with pruning dynamics and varied viticulture, Sadie aims to create a true field blend. The maiden 2024 vintage yielded just 22 hl/ha and fermented with 30% whole bunches.
Other Reviews....
This intriguing, aromatic red has aromas of smoked paprika, black currants, bell peppers, licorice, rosemary and Sichuan peppercorns. Some prickly pear, too. It’s vibrant, exotic and crunchy, medium- to full-bodied, with tight and fine tannins. Wild, spicy and powerful, but refined. A field blend of 12 co-planted varietals from a vineyard planted in 2019. The first bottling of this forward-looking wine. Drink or hold.

The maiden 2024 Sonvang, a field blend of varieties in Eben Sadie's nursery, certainly has one of the more exotic and out-there aromatics with scents of red fruit, hickory, struck flint… something almost volcanic about this. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant dark berry fruit, touches of white pepper, Provençal herbs and black truffle. Wonderfully balanced, granular in texture, insistent grip on the finish with a persistent finish, this is an outstanding debut. Drink 2027-2048.

Other Reviews…….
The fourth release of this old-vine chenin, and it’s another exceptional one. Half crushed and half whole-bunch pressed fruit, with fermentation in concrete and large oak, then maturation in old puncheons. An orchard stroll, crossing the seasons, with fragrant blossoms as well as crisply ripe fruit. Fresh, waxy red apples and green pear, yellow and lemon-skinned citrus, along with poached apple, cumquat, hazelnut and preserved lemon characters. A thread of mineral tension is the insistent plot line, with winemaking aptly subservient. Chenin blanc has never lacked for potential in the Vale, but the standout examples have hardly been legion. Here’s one. Drink by 2036.

Marcus Ellis – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion

It is rare to see such complexity in youth. Aromatically dense, it builds an impressive, beautifully revealing whole, even within the shortest time in glass. Fashioned upon a central core of red apple, spices and ripe stone fruits, pear and a touch of marzipan, it is immediately engaging in both texture and a fresh liveliness. Delicious now, it can only build further upon the complexity shown. Already, there are emerging honey notes to be enjoyed together with spice, marzipan and ginger adding an additional layer to the base notes of citrus, apple and pear. An extraordinary wine, which heralds a renaissance for the grape in Australia. Drink 2025-2036.

Jeni Port – WinePilot.com

There's great purity and tension with a touch of polish. Aromas of melon, yellow apples, lanolin, sea spray and flint. The palate is mid-weighted with a lovely texture balanced by mineral-driven acidity. A very refined example of chenin that’s been crafted for both early drinking and aging. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

This wine is made in the pursuit of both texture and flavour and the outcome is exactly that, texture and fruit weight, set within a context of both freshness and taut control. It’s pretty damn impressive. Pepper, metal, brine, cooked apple, preserved citrus and nut-like characters all make positive contributions here, as do whispers of Vietnamese mint. This wine is excellent now, and will build with extra time in the bottle. Drink 2027-2032+

Bunnahabhain 21 Year Old Cask Strength 2025 Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND
$550. 00
Bottle
$6600.00 Dozen

ABV: 53.1%

Over the past five years, Bunnahabhain have released an annual cask strength bottling in both 12 and 21 year old age statements. These special releases offer fans their own "unfiltered warehouse moment", capturing the magic of tasting straight from the cask in the distillery's coastal warehouses. Sweet sherry can quickly overpower whisky, however there are, of course, some excellent PX finishes, especially when not from first-fill casks. This should be one. Like last year's edition, it spent most of its life aging in x-Oloroso casks before undergoing a final 21 months in Pedro Ximénez casks. The result is everything you’d come to expect from Bunnahabhain with creamy berries, roasted nuts and gentle sea spray at the forefront, complemented by a complex yet sweet syrupy layer from the sweet sherry casks, that coats the palate with lingering bursts of figs and molasses. 53.1% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

Bottle
$3000.00 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Made using 10 to 25 year old eaux-de-vie from a range of appellations, this is another superb Cognac from the Tessendier distillery. A linear, restrained style, taut and focussed featuring dried apricots, figs and nectarine in a succulent mid palate, framed by fine, cedary tannins and hints of citrus blossom. The purity and elegance are notable. For a comparison style think XOs from Pasquet, Delamain or Camus Borderies. The presentation matches the liquid inside - sleek, contemporary and very classy. 40% Alc./Vol. Tasted from a 20ml sample.
Other reviews... Look for a deep amber hue and bold, sweet aromas suggesting dried fig and baked pear. The palate is equally bold, folding cassis, dried cherry, and port notes into dusty cocoa and walnut. It finishes long with a hint of clove. 96 points - wineenthusiast.com
Notes from the producers... This cognac stands out with its soft intensity and rich aromatic tapestry. It unveils scents of dried fruits and gingerbread, gracefully accompanied by hints of blond tobacco and liquorice, creating a delightful finish on the palate. It is savored as a delightful digestif along side blue cheese.

Arlett Tourbe (Peated) Single Malt French Whisky (700ml)

FRANCE
$129. 99
Bottle
$1559.88 Dozen

ABV: 43%

Keen eyes will notice the label says "Tourbe" (pronounced 'tuʀb') which means 'peat' in French. In this case, a delicate, earthy peat - on the nose, neither overwhelming nor immediately obvious. On the palate, it takes on a dry-ashy-chocolatey character suggesting cocoa and choc ripple cookies; Subtle notes of bitter orange and Jaffa add complexity. Almost like 'Ledaig-lite' - never heavy and not aggressively peaty, but satisfying enough to drink straight. One for those who enjoy lighter smoky whiskies or simply something different for peat lovers. 43% Alc./Vol.
Notes from the producers... Nose: The highly aromatic nose opens with iodine and smoky licorice notes. Mouthfeel : The attack is clean and straightforward, but airy with hints of ash. The attack is clean and straightforward, but airy with hints of ash.

Billecart-Salmon Le Rose is considered the reference point for non vintage Rose Champagne. It consistently outshines other houses in terms of both quality and value for money. Previously labelled as simply Brut Rose Champagne, the blend has been fine tuned and now consists of 45% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier. Aging takes place on lees for 36 months and the blend includes 50% reserve wines (an increase of 10% on it’s former incarnation) sourced across 15 different vintages. It is also slightly drier with the dosage reduced down from 9 g/l to 4.7 g/l
Your go-to Rose Champagne for this festive season.
Pours with a frothy mousse that slowly subsides into a salmon pink coloured base that’s finely threaded by a steady stream of bubbles. Buoyant aromatics of strawberry, yeast lees and citrus fill the nostrils followed by hints of baked bread and chalky mineral notes. A chorus of mouth watering yeast lees, strawberry and white peach flavours are sculptured by vivid acidity which lends a racy feel. Baked bread, delicate almond, ginger and mineral elements sit in the background. The lingering dry, chalk tinged finish providing plenty of stimulation for the senses.

"Very elegant, no overpowering sherry. The subtle, soft Tomintoul profile is noticable." - whiskybase.com
A cracking value sherry matured malt from a relatively obscure distillery known for a softer style distillate and promoting itself as “The Gentle Dram". Some tasters at whiskybase who were lucky enough to try this against the classic Glenrothes 30YO (in the same shipment) found this to be their preference, especially after about 30-40 minutes in the glass. "Elegance" is the recurring descriptor. Unfortunately, we couldn't secure enough to satisfy more than a handful of customers. Three decades in a first-fill Oloroso Sherry butt yielded 565 bottles at natural strength. 50.7% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... Very elegant, no overpowering sherry. The subtle, soft Tomintoul profile is noticable. Notes of old leather, wood polish, candied oranges, soy sauce. Some dried red fruit sweetness. Finish is warming. And everything is subtle and elegant. Very good this. - whiskybase.com

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$199. 99
Bottle
$2399.88 Dozen

ABV: 56.2%

Another miniscule outturn which Gregor Hannah sub labels a 'Myosotis Release'. It's similar in age to the Glenrothes except this time matured in an Oloroso American oak butt instead of European oak. The result is a softer wine input that pairs with MacDuff's slightly lighter spirit. Rich and malty on the nose, a lovely nutty sherry influence here, too, of the Amontillado kind (even though it's oloroso finished). Full bodied, unpretentious, leaning towards fruit'n'nut dark chocolate on the palate, thick with chewy choc-malt presence supported by balanced heat, slow burn oak and a flurry of spices. One for lovers of beefy-textured Highlanders. This distillery is rarely high on complexity, however for sheer weight and delivery, Lady of the Glen offer one of the more impressive Macduffs to date. Just 53 bottles decanted! 56.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 57.3%

A fruity, floral and honeyed distillate that's a favourite at LOTG due to its versatility and compatibility with many cask types. This one was originally matured in a hogshead then 'finished' for six long years in a first fill Amontillado sherry cask sourced from Josafer cooperage. It needs time to blow off the intense bittersweet cocoa nose and sharp citrus edge, giving way to poached Summer fruits. Settles into a gargantuan malt-drive. A tongue blasting malt-fest. Few will have tasted Glen Elgin as bold and feisty as this. You'll need water to get past the over-the-top experience uncut, which turns the profile to orange-filled milk chocolates. 236 bottles. 57.3% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... Telling a palo cortado from an amontillado in a finishing is nothing short of wizardry, and we’ll freely admit we are quite unable to do so. Colour: full gold. Nose: earth, peppers and oranges in various guises. Will that do for you? With water: notes of Swiss cheese fondue, kirsch and white wine. I promise. Mouth (neat): the oranges save the world, at least here, yet it remains a touch… improbable. Think bitter orange liqueur with pepper and ginger. With water: ah, that’s better, though still a tad uncertain (Gruyère, pepper, kirsch and glue, really?) Finish: very long, very peppery, fairly bitter. Notes of glue and Seville orange. Comments: another highly acrobatic Glen Elgin, let us be frank, but really very, very decent. 80 points - whiskyfun.com

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$179. 99
Bottle
$2159.88 Dozen

ABV: 58.9%

We are excited to offer Lady of the Glen's first ever cask from this legendary North Highland distillery. Thankfully they resisted the temptation to re-rack it, instead keeping it in its original barrel. If you've only tasted the rather mild Pulteney twelve year old, this will be atomic. Peppered crackers and hints of orange spice cake on the nose, before blasting the tastebuds; waxed orchard fruits compete with sweet oak and a salivating salt'n'pepper tang. Takes water amazingly well, expanding the flavours to include hay bails, distant fruitiness and a faint sooty peat, all while maintaining a vivacious coastal vibe. Pure and simple Pulteney, this will be nothing short of a revelation for those accustomed to official age statements. 58.9% Alc.Vol. Non chill filtered. 241 bottles produced.
Other reviews... Colour: white wine. Nose: the profile is naturally quite close but it’s even less marked by American oak, consequently showing more lemon and green apple, and naturally more power as well. At this stage, it also seems a little more mineral than maritime, or so it seems to me. With water: we’re extremely close to the wee ‘Harbour’, only leaning more clearly towards minerality and even greenness. Mouth (neat): powerful, cutting, extremely sharp, all on lemon and soluble aspirin tablets. Lemon-flavoured tablets, for example. This minimalist side is very lovely indeed, we sometimes call these babies ‘Bauhaus’ whiskies. With water: it becomes very chalky. As luck would have it, we do like that. Finish: very long, ultra-precise, dominated by a maritime lemon. Perhaps there are lemon trees in Wick? There are some on the other side, near Ullapool… Comments: a superb creature, taut as a competition bow (and the first to mention Agincourt/Azincourt again will answer to me). 87 points - whiskyfun.com

Always coming from the Grand Crus of Côte de Blancs, the 2018 Champagne Le Blanc De Blancs A/18 Extra Brut includes fruit from the Montagne de Reims. This was Julien Gout's first vintage with Ayala as Chef de Cave, and he added the extra fruit to give the wine a bit more depth. On the nose, it’s delicate and floral with its notes of white flowers, baby powder, fresh pear, and lemon candies. Medium-bodied, it has more intensity but remains all about finesse and elegance, with a delicate, rounded mid-palate, a pillowy, fresh mousse, a delicate structure that frames the wine, and a clean, stony finish, closing with a hint of spice. It’s another step in the right direction for this estate and very nicely done. Drink over the coming 10-15 years. Drink 2024-2040.

Lemony and pristine with aspirin-like tension. Light-bodied, showing superzesty tangerine flavors with bright fruit definition and good length. It might lack complexity at the moment but is poised to develop lots of energy, elegance and nerviness. Drinkable now but best in two or three years.

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$499. 00
Bottle
$5988.00 Dozen

ABV: 43.2%

Rare to find nowadays and especially from this vintage: Unpeated Ben Nevis in distinctive form. Soft and winey, like Pinot Gris. Pears, apples, and a low-key spent candle wax note to the nose, hovering below sweet citrus blossoms. Chewy yet rounded, the flavours skew towards a playful tropical-fruit side of Nevis; Nectarine, passionfruit, subtle elderflower and a succulence that's pure joy. Add 5ml of water and those notes persist. Perhaps the only distillery that routinely matches this for grace and style is decades-old Jura. At a naturally low ABV, savour it straight or with no more than a single ice cube or you're probably wasting your money. 276 bottles from a refill hogshead. 43.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... An interesting bottling strength, which might hint at a more complex and tertiary profile than some other releases from the same vintage… Colour: white wine. Nose: oh yes, this is spot on – clearer than expected but also more precise, on beeswax, lemon, seawater and a few hints of dill, before shifting into the realm of top-tier Burgundian chardonnays, with that distinctly chalky terroir. Though perhaps the robe of the malt already pointed us in that direction. Mouth: a little more fragile on the palate, with a more pronounced herbal infusion side, but I still find it excellent. Perfect salinity and lovely, mildly sweet pepper. Finish: not especially long, but the waxiness returns, and that’s always welcome. Very ripe banana and pear. Comments: one of its lesser qualities is that you could sip it in outrageous quantities without blinking. Not that we’re recommending that, naturally. 89 points - whiskyfun.com

Concentrated and textural yet zingy in its feel with a long saline infused finish.
Verdicchio has historical roots dating back to well before the 7th century, putting this grape amongst a handful of truly indigenous Italian grape varieties. The mineral-rich ancient clay-based limestone soils that are unique to Le Marche’s territory are a key factor that enables Verdicchio to thrive. The vineyard climate is influenced heavily by the Apennines Mountain ranges, there is more of a protected continental climate here resulting in large temperature variations between day and night that maintain acidity and freshness in the grape -a perfect place for long time Italian enologist Stefano Zolito grow his pure, crystalline Verdicchio.
Brilliant pale straw to straw colour with delicate flashes of green around the edges and a watery hue. Pear and red apple skin aromas mix with hints of mango, faint honeysuckle and slatey mineral notes. Concentrated and textural yet zingy in its feel, the palate is bristling with lime, green to red apple and mandarin fruits which are underscored by tangy acidity. Slate and flinty mineral elements sit in the background. The long, zippy finish infused with a saline like minerality.

A moreish red fruited Sicilian red.
Azienda Agricola COS was founded in 1980 in the town of Vittoria, located in the southeast of Sicily. Championing indigenous grape varietals since their inception, today they are one of the finest producers on the island.

Red to dark red colour with black toned edges and a red hue. Delightful red currant and red cherry aromas flow through the nostrils followed by a faint whiff of red liquorice, earth, Mediterranean herb and spice notes. Juicy red currant, red liquorice and red cherry fruits flood the mouth with savoury tones of earth, infusions of Mediterranean herbs and spice lying underneath. Beautifully refined and balanced with polished tannins, this mid weight expression finishes long, fresh and supple.

A blend of 60% Nero d'Avola and 40% Frappato, the organic COS 2022 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico sees cement only to achieve a silky, mid-weight texture.

Cellar: Drink now - 12 Years (2025-2037)

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

A wonderfully fragrant, mid weighted Cabernet that shows great finesse.

A blend of 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Malbec matured in French oak (50% new) for a period of 22 months. Dense midnight black colour with a dark red black tinged hue. Wonderfully intense, the nose is brimming with fresh black currant, mulberry and violet scents which are complimented by cedary tobacco, dusty earth, black olive and bay leaf notes. The refined mid weighted palate is layered with red to black currant and mulberry fruits which are underscored by spicy vanillin cedar, tobacco, earth and bay leaf characters. Fine grained yet sturdy tannin structure that imparts a mild firmness across the long, finessed finish.
Drink over the next 10-12 years.

The 2022 Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon hails from a warm and dry vintage in Margaret River, one that is showing to be a very high-quality Cabernet vintage. The palate shows a pure core of raspberry and blood orange, nori and raw cocoa, even chinotto-esque in its leanings, with bramble and forest floor, graphite and cracked fennel seed. This is a velvety, tightly controlled, compact and excellent wine. The oak shows ever so slightly on the nose, in the form of malt biscuit and aniseed. This will be quickly subsumed by the fruit in a short time. Drink 2025-2042.

This is yet another release that shows the continual transformation of Leeuwin cabernets into now some of the very best in the region. It was a terrific year for producing fruit of exceptional varietal expression and intensity, and real balance. This is largely cabernet but again, a tiny percentage of malbec plays an important role. It's had about 50% new French oak for nine months, and overall spends about 22 months in oak. It retains an elegance and poise, yet at the same time, it's powerful and intense. Blackcurrant, a little leaf, a touch of oyster shell, and even a fragrant lift of violet on the nose. It's seamlessly integrated with fine chalky tannins and fine oak. This is as good as any cabernet released yet from Leeuwin. Cellar 20 years.

There is debate in the Margaret River region as to whether 2022 or 2023 is the better vintage. It is a line ball decision – both were wonderful, so consumers simply can’t lose – but I’d probably opt for the younger year by a whisker. All that means is that fans of this wine just might have something even more exciting down the track. The initial maturation for this wine was in French oak, 50% of which were new. The parcels were then blended and further maturation, a total of 22 months, took place in ‘French Bordelaise coopered barriques’. A vibrant maroon hue, the nose exhibits aromas of tobacco leaves, licorice, blackberries, truffles, graphite, cigar boxes and mulberries, with deftly handled oak, providing a flick of vanilla which sits comfortably. Balanced and lingering, with underlying intensity and juicy acidity, this has a seductive texture and will continue to improve for many years. Enjoy over the next ten to fifteen years. Leeuwin’s Art Series Cab now sits among the very best from the region. Drink 2025-2040.

One of the most elegant Art Series wines to date, yet it still has plenty of detail and power, it just feels more composed. A whorl of mulberries and blackberries all spiced up with cedary oak and cinnamon, licorice root and nori. The more mid-weighted palate is very even, with beautifully judged cocoa powder-like tannins. The invigorating acidity lengthens out the finish. It’s singing now yet will age gracefully. Bravo.

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

ABV: 15%

Closure: Cork

This bold Barossa Shiraz was one of Robert Parker’s darling wines in the early 2000’s meriting scores of up to 99 points. Produced from a selection of only the best barrels utilising the estate’s oldest blocks of Shiraz, this formidable wine is only released in the great vintages and whilst not widely distributed on Australian shores it can be found selling for $150.00 per bottle on the winery's website. Maturation takes place in a mix of new French and American hogsheads for a period of 30 months. Bolder, richer and deeper than the 2021 vintage, this is a super impressive follow up release that will not disappoint.
A plush, power packed Barossa Shiraz that makes a rich, decadent entrance and culminates with a dramatically long finish.
Impenetrable inky black heart with an equally deep black dark red hue. Heady aromatics of dark plum, liquorice, mocha and vanillin oak engulf the nostrils followed by whiffs of earthy dark chocolate and spicy fennel. Rich, lavish and possessing fabulous density, the ultra-seductive palate is drenched in a tidal wave of dark plum, blackberry and liquorice fruits which meld into a dark chocolate, spicy vanillin oak, subtle earthy mocha and fennel back drop. Plush in texture and powered by a high impact V8 engine, it possesses a velvety yet underlying sturdy tannin structure, concluding exceptionally long and sumptuous.
Drink over the next 6-8 years

Under cork, this wine is a barrel selection from the estate's oldest blocks of Shiraz. It is restricted to those vintages considered worthy. Maturation is for two and a half years in a mix of new French and American oak hogsheads. An inky opaque maroon, the nose reveals notes of blackberries, plums, mocha, soy, cedar, tobacco leaves, truffles, cassis and chocolate. The oak integration has been deftly handled and the wine has superb balance and great length. Intensity runs for the full journey, along with a line of bright acidity, finishing with the silkiest of tannins. Stunning stuff.

A sumptuous offering with sophistication and refinement, the seductive bouquet shows dark fruit intensity, warm spice, charcuterie, toasty oak, and mocha characters. The palate is opulent and plush with outstanding depth and richness, wonderfully complemented by layers of chalky tannins, making it firmly structured with an impressively long, graceful finish. At its best: now to 2042.

Full bodied with an elegant display of black fruits, wood spice and dark and milk chocolate tones, fine-grained tannins and a long draw of flavour on the finish. Drink by 2046.
