2021 Craiglee Eadie Shiraz

Sunbury, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$44. 99
Bottle
$539.88 Dozen

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

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Rich and juicy with slightly muscular tannins and a savoury, blackpepper infused conclusion.
The 'Eadie' is made from fruit grown on the Eadie's Block paddock, located on the southern side of Jackson's Creek. Its named after the family who first planted vines on the spot in 1863 - the Ben Eadie's. The Vineyard was re-planted in 1993 and is made using all the same techniques as the iconic Shiraz from the original old block.
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. Slightly muscular tannins lend a sense of firmness onto the savoury, blackpepper infused conclusion.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

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+

Boatrocker Dry Cassis Blackcurrant Liqueur (500ml)

Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$63. 99
Bottle
$767.88 Dozen

ABV: 20%

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.

The 2025 Watervale Riesling is tightly coiled and water-white in flavors, with lemon zest, green apple, white flowers and a hint of pear. This is fresh and crunchy and defined by its purity and clarity. It's a wine that has a surprising ability to age despite the price point and one that looks so good in its youth. This is a compelling wine for the money….

2022 Querciabella Chianti Classico

Tuscany, ITALY
$54. 99
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.

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

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Stelvin

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. Boasting impressive power and depth, it has polished yet sturdy tannins and a long, sumptuous finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

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.

Ray Jordan – WinePilot.com

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.

Old bottles of the legendary blended malt from Johnnie Walker. These are labelled "The Art of Malt" or "The Art of Pure Malt".
Johnnie Walker Green Label is the only whisky in the Walker range to carry the 'Blended Malt Scotch Whisky' certification. It replaces the older term 'Vatted Malt' and indicates that the whisky has been blended exclusively from single malts, and not blended with inexpensive grain whisky.
The Walker family began buying some of Scotland's finest distilleries over 100 years ago. Now, with over 27 malt whisky producers in ownership, the company doesn't have to look too far for the very best material. They can choose from the cream of the crop, and have also acquired over a century of distilling experience in the process, guaranteeing the quality of their whisky well into the future.
Undisputed as one of the all-time classics in its genre, Green label is instantly recognisable as a Walker blend, with a profile of fresh and slightly fruity aromas with hints of mango and toffee followed by the trademark whiff of peat & sea air that distinguishes most of the JW stable.

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.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.

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/ Heritage Barley Release Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$169. 99
Bottle
$2039.88 Dozen

ABV: 59.2%

'Heritage Barley' will no doubt be one of the more sought-after bottlings in Ardnamurchan's latest outturn, distinguished by its use of 100% unpeated Golden Promise barley, a variety traditionally prized for its rich, nutty flavour. One of its greatest exponents was Macallan, but notoriously low yields mean it's now rarely used (they reduced the original ratio of Golden Promise in 1993. Subsequent bottlings have never been the same). Glengoyne remains a notable standout. Ardnamurchan's expression should see the character of the grain well-expressed, with maturation limited to ex-American bourbon barrels filled in 2018. 59.2% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.
Notes from the producers... Nose: Freshly opened milk chocolate digestive biscuits. Glacé cherries, lime cordial, a soft dusting of icing sugar on marzipan, apricot jam. Melted butter with acacia honey on sourdough toast. Salted preserved lemons. A whiff of long grass. Palate: Chewable, oily mouthfeel. The marzipan theme continues, with sugared almonds. More nuts:salted cashews and subtle pistachios. A gentle, creamy sweetness. Rich orange polenta cake. Baked cooking apples with fizzy lemonade. Peshwari naan filling. Finish: Oily, luscious and well-balanced. Medium length.Traces of soft orchard fruit, a sweet nuttiness and the last sip of espresso.

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.

2022 Domaine des Escaravailles La Ponce Rasteau

Rasteau, Southern Rhone, FRANCE
$36. 99
Bottle
$443.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 5 Years (2025-2030)

ABV: 15%

Closure: Cork

A rich, blockbuster Rasteau that marries opulence with a robust structure.
Rasteau's 880 hectares of vines are planted on marl and red and yellow clay soils over sandstone with rounded stones covering some sectors, which in heatwave vintages act like health insurance against hydric stress. By law, the Grenache component in the dry red blends must be 50% minimum, with Syrah and/or Mourvedre 20% minimum and other grape varieties of the appellation tolerated up to 20%. In 2010 the Rasteau AOC was created allowing the wines to be named after the village, dropping the Cotes-du-Rhone tag and joining the likes of Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas at the pinnacle of the wine hierarchy in the Southern Rhone.
A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah sourced from vines over 60 years old and 40 years old respectively. The Syrah component is aged in old 225 litre barrels whilst the Grenache is aged in concrete vats for a period of 15 months. Very deep dark red black colour with a dark red hue. Wafting through the nostrils are potent aromatics of black raspberry, liquorice and ripe black cherry which interact with some herb du Provence, scorched earth and pepper notes. The rich, blockbuster palate delivers a concentrate of black raspberry, black cherry and liquorice fruit that’s super succulent. Ripe chewy tannins firm up the back half with infusions of provincial herbs, scorched earth and pepper lying underneath. Superb power with a long pepper laced finish that ties opulence with a robust feel.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Other Reviews….
The 2022 La Ponce offers more concentration, showcasing red, blue, and black fruits, pepper, sweet garrigue, and cherry jam. Medium to full-bodied, with a great mid-palate, ripe, velvety tannins, and impeccable balance, it's outstanding and will drink nicely for 10-12 years. Drink 2024-2036.

A blend of Grenache and Syrah, this wine opens with a fresh bouquet of ripe fig and blackberry, complemented by a hint of salt and stony minerality. The fresh acidity lifts the black fruit, creating a focused, straightforward profile that's wonderfully easy to drink. Approachable and refreshing, this wine is perfect for immediate enjoyment.

Ardnamurchan AD/ 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$134. 99
Bottle
$1619.88 Dozen

ABV: 46.8%

The inaugural batch of what's set to become a distillery staple.
Last year saw an AD/10 which was a once-off 'anniversary' release of 100% unpeated spirit from Ardnamurchan's first year of distilling. New as of 2025 is this 10 year old representing the first batch of what will become a regular line, increasing in volume as stock becomes available over time. Composed primarily of Bourbon barrel matured spirit (98%), complemented by a small portion of Sherry casks (2%) to add depth and richness, casks were filled with a well-balanced mix of unpeated (52%) and peated (48%) whisky, combining the clean sweetness and vanilla tones from Bourbon maturation with subtle sherry influence and a measured touch of smoke for complexity and harmony. Bottled at 46.8% Alc./Vol. without chill filtration.
Notes from the producers... The nose opens with coconut, oat biscuits, and zesty orange peel, layered with salty sea air, bonfire leaves, and a hint of strawberry laces and mint. The palate is rich and creamy, with custard creams, vanilla wafer, brine, and earthy smoke. A lingering, smoky, maritime warmth defines the finish.

2025 Rob Hall Pinot Noir

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$26. 99
Bottle
$323.88 Dozen

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

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Growing up in Healesville, a young Rob Hall did some summer work in the vineyards during the early to mid nineties before taking up full time work at Yarra Ridge then Punt Road. From 2002 to 2011 he was the winemaker at Mount Mary, it wasn’t until 2014 that he took the leap and began his own operation.
2025 was another excellent year in the Yarra Valley, the weather was close to perfect right through the season, resulting in a fairly early harvest, producing wines with lovely aromatics and wonderful intensity. This Pinot Noir was sourced from five vineyards – Harriet’s, Full Moon, Boat O’Craigo, Nenagh Park and Yarrawalla with only 10% of the Harriet’s component being whole bunch. Maturation was predominantly in seasoned hogheads and puncheons (300 & 500L).
Richly fruited, supple and expansive, this is yet another great value Pinot from the ever reliable Rob Hall.
Red to dark red colour with black toned edges and a light red hue. Perfumed wafts of violet, red to dark cherry, strawberry and subtle anise greet the nostrils. Some subtle rhubarb, bramble, fresh herb and vanillin spice notes are also evident. Richly fruited, supple and polished, the moreish palate is flooded with a wave of red to dark cherry, strawberry, anise and delicate rhubarb flavours. Lending further interest are some dried herb, bramble, forest floor and spice elements. Both powerful and expansive, it has velvety tannins and a long, seductive finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews.....
Mainly destemmed with a small number of whole bunches. Light bright crimson. Delicate and perfumed with strawberry, rose and lavender. The palate is equally delicate, with lovely persistence and balanced, svelte tannins. Finishes silky and long. A lovely and well-priced wine to drink now and over the next two to three years. Drink by 2030.

$443.88 Dozen

ABV: 18%

The basis of a good Vermouth is a quality wine, and South Australia is known for its rich reds. At 78 Degrees, one of their preferences is old vine Grenache, which brings notes of raspberry, blueberry, chocolate and tobacco to their contemporary Rosso Vermouth. A generous handful of traditional Torino roots, herbs and spices, stored since the 1960s, add vanilla, spice and a rounded herbal tone. The late addition of anise myrtle and quandong adds a signature Australian flourish with sunrise lime and finger lime included to cut through the unctuous nature of the Grenache. 18% Alc./Vol.

Waubs Harbour Maritime Sherry Limited Edition Single Malt Australian Whisky (500ml)

Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
$250. 00
Bottle
$3000.00 Dozen

ABV: 52%

Waubs' latest release sees French oak ex-Apera sherry casks balanced by x-Bourbon matured stocks. Drawing on some of the first casks the distillery filled, and landing in at just over six years old, the distiller's say it's no sherry bomb, nor is it intended as a whisky of extremes, being slightly lighter, though better integrated and more easily approached than many previous releases. Upfront sherry and spicy fruit cake flavours develop into poached orchard fruits, ending with a tangy, coastal vibe that leaves the impression of distant peat. Waubs' salted caramel keynote is also evident, particularly through the long finish. In terms of maritime style, we're heading towards the coastal Highlands - Pulteney and Orkney come to mind, but even Campbeltown would be a reference point. Indeed, no other distillery in the Southern hemisphere succeeds in capturing a Scottish coastal character as convincingly as this. Already sold out at the distillery, 618 bottles at 52% Alc./Vol. make up the limited edition. Non chill filtered. Tasted from a 25ml sample.
Notes from the producers... Nose: Red apple, apricot, almond husk, pear with a slight sea spray and woody character. Palate: Apricot, apple and pear in syrup, buttery and biscuit notes, salted caramel with an undertone of golden syrup, balanced by citrus and a lovely oak spice. Finish: A bitter sweet balance between fruited syrup and kitchen spices.

2017 Amrut Single Cask #8835 Australian Exclusive Ex-Madeira Cask 5 Year Old Single Malt Indian Whisky (700ml)

Bangalore, INDIA
$199. 99
Bottle
$2399.88 Dozen

ABV: 60%

Single Cask No. 8835 is an Australian exclusive, hand picked by the importers. What intrigued them was not only the fantastic flavour profile, but the technique used to produce this totally unfiltered whisky. It involved decanting and allowing the liquid to settle for three days before calculating exactly how much water was required to cut the alcohol down to 60% ABV. Drip-fed over 36 hours into the whisky vat, not disturbing any sediment or oils, when complete, a slow syphon was used to fill the bottles. The resulting dram has all of its natural oils and lipids retained. At first taste, you'd be forgiven for thinking this was sherry-casked. The nose is weighty and dense with sponge cake and vanilla merging into ripe rum-like tropical fruits. On the palate, a quick nip and prickle gives way to a burst of sweet malt - the Jamaican rum feel repeating as papaya and semi-ripe banana, then cocoa, warming spices and drying oak. Not much left of the Madeira influence, besides perhaps a faint residual sweetness. Instead, this plump, sumptuous cask selection reflects the climate it was matured in. 60% Alc./Vol. Tasted from a 30ml sample.

2021 Casa Castillo Pie Franco Monastrell

Jumilla, SPAIN
$350. 00
Bottle
$4200.00 Dozen

ABV: 15%

Closure: Cork

Led by José María Vicente, Casa Castillo are at the forefront of new wave Spanish producers unleashing the potential of their sites, and raising the bar for what's possible with the local specialty Monastrell (Mourvèdre). Jumilla is a brutal landscape, with baking hot days and cold nights, leading to many wines that are rich, jammy, and often overdone. Casa Castillo is the antithesis of this approach, their wines are refined and detailed, elegant even, and clearly leagues ahead of anything else produced in the region. José María is constantly aiming to do things the best way rather than the easiest, which is rewarding handsomely for the team with Casa Castillo now considered among the top handful of Spanish producers.
Pie Franco is a bottling from an old ungrafted Monastrell vineyard planted in 1942 by Jose's grandfather a year after he bought the property, and is now considered the benchmark for Monastrell in Spain.
Other Reviews....
The 2021 Pie Franco is from ungrafted old-vine Monastrell planted on sandy soils. It feels incredibly balanced, elegant and harmonious, a little closed, subtle rather than showy. It's slightly riper, like most of the 2021s, reaching 15% alcohol, very Mediterranean, classical with fruit a tad darker than the one in Las Gravas and with a rounder palate but keeping the poise and balance. It matured in oak foudre for a longer time, as they found this to be a more powerful wine that required a longer élevage in oak. Another stunning Pie Franco. 8,297 numbered bottles. It was bottled in June 2023. Drink 2024-2036.

Rich, expansive and powerful yet light on it’s feet with an exquisitely silky flow.
This Pinot has quickly become one of Tasmania’s most sought after wines with a string of accolades being awarded to past vintages including the Jimmy Watson Trophy for the 2014. The fruit for Kelly’s Reserve is sourced from the middle 12 rows of the vineyard which have had their trellising system modified. The aim is to reduce the yields as much as possible and in turn produce fruit with greater concentration. Each year the Kelly’s Reserve is made from a blend of only the top barrels from the vintage.
Matured for 10 months in French oak (38% new). Red to dark red in colour with black shaded edges and a vibrant red hue. Showing a perfumed like intensity, the nose is engulfed with violet, red to dark cherry, wild strawberry and anise aromas. Spicy cedar, forest floor and fresh herb notes lend further sophistication. Rich, expansive and powerful yet light on it’s feet, the palate is graced with moreish ripe red to dark cherry, strawberry and red plum fruits. Exquisitely silky flow with notions of anise, spicy cedar, and infusions of forest floor layered across the back half. Beautifully balanced with ample freshness and a seamlessly integrated, refined tannin structure. Supple and generous it finishes supremely long and wonderfully finessed.
Drink over the next 8-10 years.

Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 23 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

Kentucky, UNITED STATES
$5499. 00
Bottle
$65988.00 Dozen

ABV: 47.8%

Home to one of the highest rated whiskeys in the world, and now released bi-annually, the 23 year old began as a semi-annual bottling in 2005 that would quickly sell out upon release. That changed in 2010 when it was made a permanent member on the portfolio. Distilled and bottled by the Sazerac Company at its Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, the various age statements on offer are regarded by many as some of the finest bourbons in the world. As the oldest of the Pappy Van Winkle line up, the 23 year old is also the woodiest of the range with a slightly diminished sweetness. However bourbons of this ilk always need ample air contact to show their finer points, which was precisely Jim Murray's experience upon re-tasting it for his 2020 Whisky Bible (95 points review below). Almost unobtainable, it routinely commands big dollars.
Other reviews... The corn oils kiss and caress, the tannins barge and batter in a good cop / bad cop delivery... one of the holy grails of bourbon is to produce a consistently a 23-25 year old bourbon which is still sweet and not tannin dominated: no easy task. [this is] unquestionably drier... there are still sugars enough to give some fabulous moments on the palate. The tannins do though, still have the biggest say. But remember, this whiskey has matured for a very long time. 47.8% Alc./Vol. 95 points - Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2020
...Nose: Deep, powerful and concentrated. This has moved into almost rancio territory: eucalypt/laurel, spice, burnt orange peel, apple, pear, biscuity wood. Palate: Soft and surprisingly delicate given the age. A charred note adds to the complexity. Gentle and elegant: cigar box, prune, molasses, soot. Finish: Long. In fact it’s very, very long and complex. Comment: A subtle sipper to be taken neat and definitely without ice! 90 points - David Broom, www.whiskymag.com

A perfect balance of spicy and sweet, youth and age. There’s something amazing happening here. It’s as if the master distiller knew exactly when to pull the barrel… which of course he did. You can taste the age, but it’s not overdone. You can taste the youthful elements, but they don’t overpower the age.

"...beautifully constructed and remains one of my favorite bourbons ever." - breakingbourbon.com
In a blind taste test of whiskey labels from around the world, the Beverage Tasting Institute in Chicago gave the 20-year old Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve a 99 out of 100 rating... the highest mark ever awarded. It began as a rye-heavy style but it's now a wheated bourbon, making the whiskey softer, sweeter, mellower and more rounded. It remains the most-awarded of the Pappys, and is sometimes compared with top shelf cognac, helped by its slightly younger age and slightly lower proof.

An ancient Bourbon, so should be a flavour powerhouse. But this is all about understatement and complexity. 95 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2020

An exemplary example of the style. 92 points - whiskyadvocate, 3rd Quarter 2001 Issue-Vol. 10#3
...This has always been my favorite Van Winkle bourbon and after this recent tasting, it remains that way. It has aspects of all of the other Van Winkle bourbons in a single package. It’s nose is by far the best out of the bunch. It proves how important a bourbon’s nose really is to the entire tasting experience. The palate features the rich fruit flavors of the 12 Year, the cinnamon of the 15 Year, and a touch less oak than the 23 Year. It’s beautifully constructed and remains one of my favorite bourbons ever. - breakingbourbon.com

Kentucky, UNITED STATES
$1999. 00

$23988.00 Dozen

ABV: 45.2%

Lot 'B' 12 year old comes with a swag of rave reviews from blind tasters, including 90-95 points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine (winemag.com), 98 points - Beverage Tasting Institute (tastings.com), Best in Class Gold Medallion - 2008 IWSC (iwsc.net) and a Trophy for Worldwide Whiskey - 2008 IWSC (iwsc.net).
Some have asked, "Why is this whiskey drawn from 'Lot B' every year and not some other?" Apparently, the designation derived from an original 'Lot A' released only in 1991. For every subsequent release, it's been called 'Lot B'. More on this subject from straightbourbon.com: "I’ve always assumed that Julian III went through his stock of barrels that were older than the 10 year range and took the barrels that he did not think were worthy of continued aging for inclusion in future PVW releases and bottled those as Lot B. With Lot B indicating that they weren’t his best juice. At the time of the 1991 release of course there was no such thing as PVW as it hadn’t been released yet. I believe the first ever PVW release was in 1994. So maybe in 1992 he had decided that he would start setting aside his best barrels for future super premium older releases, and decided to start bottling those that didn’t make that cut as B then?"
One responder who actually emailed Julian Van Winkle for an explanation confirms: "It's pretty much to that affect, Lot A was small and ran out quickly. Lot B was much larger and by time those barrels ran out, everyone got so used to his 12 year old release being called Lot B that the name stuck so as to not confuse anyone." Hence, the designation is pretty much meaningless, except from an historical perspective.
Other reviews... For those who like their Bourbon hairy, bristling with spice, honey and big oak interaction.

The 2023 864 Chardonnay is a masterclass in site-specific viticulture and minimalist intervention, sourced from the close-planted P58 clone vines of the Drive Block, a red volcanic soil vineyard in Wandin East planted in 1990. Winemaker David Bicknell utilizes whole-bunch pressing and wild fermentation in French oak puncheons to produce a profound wine that cements Oakridge's status as a global benchmark for cool-climate Chardonnay.
Other Reviews....
The Funder & Diamond Block is at Wandin East, and was (close) planted in 1990. The name Oakridge 864 Chardonnay speaks for itself. This 2023 edition is the 12th release of a single-block Chardonnay from the Funder & Diamond Vineyard, Drive Block (first produced in 2011).
Chardonnay for the win. This is just sensationally good. It’s powerfully fruited, powerfully complex and powerfully refreshing. That’s a combination for you. Peach, flint, chalk, green pineapple, crisp apple and mealy, cedar-y, smoky notes. It’s shows velocity, tension and calm in equal measure. On the finish it slings through to tomorrow. Nothing here is overdone and yet everything feels profound. Drink 2027-2035+.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front
From the Funder & Diamond vineyard, planted in Wandin East in '90. The '22 is the reigning Halliday Wine of the Year and this is, as you'd suspect, a worthy successor. With its bouquet of white nectarine, pink grapefruit and traces of sea spray and piercing, perfectly structured palate, this is more tightly coiled, at this stage, than the 864 Henk Chardonnay. It may prove to be more long lived, too. Those who have both will have a ton of fun comparing them over the next decade or more. Drink 2025-2035.

Philip Rich - James Halliday's Wine Companion
The 2023 864 Single Block Release Funder & Diamond Drive Block Chardonnay is awesome. It's nutty and gently reductive, saline and focused, with piercing intensity on the palate. It's salty, it's complex, it's sleek, the flavor is palate-staining, excellent. This superb wine is really impressive. The fruit was sourced from the Funder and Diamond vineyard (Drive Block), from vines closely planted in the red volcanic soils of Wandin East to the P58 clone in 1990. It was handpicked, then whole-bunch pressed direct to French puncheons (20% new) for wild fermentation and 10 months of élevage, followed by another six months (blended) on the fine lees in tank. I love this wine, and it looks utterly magnificent here today. Yes! 13.3% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2025-2038.

Disznókő’s Tokaji Aszú wines are not only prime examples of one of the world’s great sweet wine styles, but they are also some of the most individual and profound wines of the genre. Now under the ownership of French insurance giant AXA Millesime, the wines are produced in a state-of-the-art cellar which is perfectly situated on the edge of the vineyard, and unusually for the region, all grapes come from 100% estate-grown fruit across the 105 hectares of vines. While dry wines are produced here, the focus has always been on the sweet 5 and 6 Puttonyos Aszú wines.
Tokaji Aszú is a noble sweet wine made by blending dried and noble rotten berries to a dry base wine. Taste and quality of the Aszú mainly depend on the number of hods (puttonyos) filled with dry berries (25 kilograms each), which are added to a cask (Gönc type, 136 liters) of dry base wine. Consequently, the proportion between aszú berries and dry base wine is about 1:1 for a 6 puttonyos Aszú. Aszú Eszencia is made with the same process, and is a classification above 6 puttonyos where the ratio of noble dry berries to wine is more akin to 7-10 puttonyos. This is not to be confused with Tokaji Essencia which is a fermentation of just the free run juice of the dried noble berries as they rest in the vat.
Other Reviews....
The 2014 Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos undergoes 75% maceration with Aszú berries for half a day and is aged for 18 months in oak barrels. This has a very focused and more complex bouquet than the 2015. It's pure and conveys a greater sense of energy. The palate is medium-bodied with an engaging entry, sensual and vibrant. It displays an orange rind, mango and honey mixture, and the acidity effortlessly cuts through on the finish. It is one of the best vintages for the 5 Puttonyos, and comes highly recommended. Drink 2024-2038.

Attractive aromas of dried apricots and dried mangoes with hints of caramel, fresh honey, exotic spice and dried orange. It’s dense and creamy with vivid acidity coming through. Rich but not overly sweet, with hints of oolong tea and orange blossom at the end. Delicious. Drink or hold.

Golden in colour, with pronounced tropical fruits, mango, pineapple, pollen and acacia honey on the nose. Great depth and concentration on a classy palate of apricot, marmalade, pineapple and orange zest, spiced up by white pepper on the tip of the tongue. The passionate, tropical flavours are backed by great acidity (8.77 g/l), with dried fruit notes lingering on forever. Aged for 18 months in old oak barrels. An exceptional Aszú born in a difficult year. Drink 2021-2044.

2022 Biondi-Santi Rosso di Montalcino

Tuscany, ITALY
$240. 00
Bottle
$2880.00 Dozen

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork

When it comes to Brunello, there is Biondi-Santi, and then there is everyone else. While most legendary wine regions evolved over centuries of collective effort, Brunello di Montalcino was essentially the "invention" of this single estate. In the late 1800s, while the rest of Tuscany was focused on high-volume blends meant for immediate drinking, Ferruccio Biondi-Santi made the radical choice to bottle 100% Sangiovese and age it for years in large Slavonian oak. This wasn't just a stylistic preference; it was the birth of the appellation itself. Under the current direction of Federico Radi, the winemaking has seen a subtle refinement, focusing on vineyard precision and slightly more supple textures, without abandoning the structural tension that makes these wines some of the longest-lived reds in Italy. For the collector, these releases represent the traditional benchmark: they are lean, savory, and aromatically complex wines that prioritize elegance and transparency over power.
Harvested during the estate's earliest-ever picking window (commencing August 31st), the 2022 Rosso is the result of a hot, dry vintage mitigated by well-timed late-August rainfall. The fruit was sourced from proprietary vineyards and aged for 12 months in Slavonian oak, resulting in a wine that balances the warmth of the year with the estate's hallmark tension and refined tannins.
Other Reviews....
A super-restrained wine showing complex aromas of rhubarb, strawberries, violets, raspberries and blood oranges. The attack is quite ripe, with dense, velvety tannins soaked in fruit, a medium body and refreshing lifted acidity. The finish is long and savory. Drink or hold.

Aldo Fiordelli - JamesSuckling.com
The earliest harvest ever at Biondi-Santi (starting 31 August) followed a warm spring and hot summer with some rain, giving optimal growing conditions. Viticulture and winemaking director Federico Radi describes the estate's Rosso as 'our running back wine', for its big-boned yet agile structure. Approachable yet still serious, it's dominated by succulent strawberry, red cherry and blood orange, aromatic star anise and vibrant acidity. Grapes are sourced from the youngest vineyards across the property and the wine is aged for 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels. Drink 2025-2030.

When it comes to Brunello, there is Biondi-Santi, and then there is everyone else. While most legendary wine regions evolved over centuries of collective effort, Brunello di Montalcino was essentially the "invention" of this single estate. In the late 1800s, while the rest of Tuscany was focused on high-volume blends meant for immediate drinking, Ferruccio Biondi-Santi made the radical choice to bottle 100% Sangiovese and age it for years in large Slavonian oak.

For the collector, these releases represent the traditional benchmark: they are lean, savory, and aromatically complex wines that prioritize elegance and transparency over power.
The 2019 release originates from a widely acclaimed "5-star" vintage, characterized by a cool, rainy spring followed by a steady summer without extreme heat spikes. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in a mix of oak, concrete, and steel, and subsequently aged for 30 months in Slavonian casks, this vintage exemplifies the structural precision and high-altitude freshness typical of Tenuta Greppo.
Other Reviews....
This wine will be released in March 2025. The Biondi-Santi 2019 Brunello di Montalcino was born in a generous vintage that provided abundant high-quality fruit. The growing season became progressively warmer throughout summer, without heat spikes, and it ended with well-timed rains and a warm autumn. Harvest started in mid-September, and the grapes ripened according to the right parameters without over-ripeness. The wine shows a natural textural richness that is supported by dark fruit, navel orange, tobacco, laurel leaf and Mediterranean herb. There are flinty mineral notes that add to the complexity. This beautiful wine hits a special mark: it offers the ethereal qualities you expect of this celebrated estate, with a good level of austerity to match. Drink 2028-2055.

Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino pulls the taster close to the glass, darkly floral and balsamic at the first tilt. This blossoms with a textbook profile of worn leather, dried rose, dusty earth, spice and dried black cherry. It sweeps across the palate, silky-smooth with hints of ripe red and black fruit underscored by saline mineral tones that add a crunchy yet salty sensation toward the close. It finishes with tremendous length and concentration, lifted by a tinge of sour citrus. Fine-grained tannins resonate under an air of sweet lavender. The 2019 is classic to the core. With this level of depth coming from the anatta, one can only imagine what the riserva will reveal. Drink 2028-2040.

Eric Guido - Vinous
Very perfumed and fragrant with sweet berries and fresh roses that follow through to a medium body with pretty depth of fruit and balance. Racy and driven, there’s a lot going on in the center-palate. The legend lives. Give this a few years to open, but already impressive. Best after 2027.

James Suckling
A bright red color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino was bottled in March of 2024 and will be released in March of 2025. The aromas are layered and complex with notes of red berries, cranberries, rosemary, orange peel, and black licorice that are constantly evolving in the glass as it opens. Medium-bodied and structured, but also elegant with a weightless feel, it has a long and savory finish. It feels as though it's going to gain in intensity with more time in bottle. Drink 2027-2050.

Audrey Frick - jebdunnuck.com
Bottled in late-March 2024, Biondi Santi’s latest Brunello is built solidly on classic lines. Captivatingly austere, it hints at pomegranate and tea leaf to begin, with balsamic rosemary and sage blossom taking hold as it opens. Neither overtly dense nor powerful, it trades instead on grace and linearity. Firm, al dente tannins stretch out, sculpting a sinewy core of blood orange and pink grapefruit. Nervous energy brings edgy tension, and appetising bitter herbs bring this to an auspicious conclusion. Drink 2029-2047.

Wild ferment in French oak (20% new), aged 11 months on lees. To drink or to just take in that gorgeous fragrance? That's the question. It is so inviting, a medley of varietal warmth in white peach, pear, melon, yellow apple, Meyer lemon, nougat and grilled nuts. And, yes, to taste you get to enjoy the harmonious whole, silky and well structured. Drink by 2028.

Nicely shaped with a very dry finish that has a minerally, saline like zing to it.
Made from estate-owned vineyards situated on alluvial clay soils, this wine is made using only the finest portion of the press juice, then aged on fine lees in tank for six months before further bottle ageing. The result is a dry, elegant and finely structured Pinot Grigio.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a watery hue. Pear, lime and red apple skin aromas drift from the glass followed by subtle quince and wet stone notes. Delicious pear, lime and red apple fruits decorate the palate underscored by a saline laced line of crisp acidity. Some stony mineral elements are also evident. Nicely shaped mouth feel with a very dry finish that has a minerally, saline like zing to it.

A moreish Pinot laden with expansive juicy, red to dark fruits that are both powerful and energetic.
Deep red to dark red core with black toned edges and a vibrant red hue. Perfumed aromas of violet, red to dark cherry, strawberry and anise sail through the nostrils. Some brambly cedar, forest floor and spicy fresh herb notes ensue. Juicy red to dark cherry, strawberry and anise flavours expand across the palate like a peacocks tail with notions of rhubarb, bramble, forest floor, delicate spicy cedar and fresh herb infusions providing additional complexity. Fresh yet supple in it’s flow, it possesses polished tannins and energetic acidity. Boasting superb power and concentration it manages to stay light on its feet. Finishes very long and moreish.

Other Reviews……
This came off two vineyards, with the fruit harvested early to retain freshness. The free run was fermented cool in tank and the pressings in barrel. That early pick and tank ferment make for a strikingly fresh and briskly thirst-slaking style, with tart green apple, lemon, green almond and thyme. It’s pretty linear but not tense, a pithy burr and some brininess complexing. Drink by 2026.

Flinty and minerally with a long zingy finish.
The Fritz Haag estate is located in the heart of the central Mosel River Valley and has a history dating back to 1605. All 18.5ha of vineyards are planted to Riesling, the excellent micro-climate and deep slate soils of the Brauneberger Juffer slope forming the basis for some of the most intensely flavoured and elegantly-structured Rieslings in Mosel. This wine comes from the blue slate soils of the steep slope sites of the villages of Brauneberg and Mulheim.
Brilliant very pale straw colour with gleaming green tinged edges and a watery hue. Jumping from the glass are aromas of lime zest, lemon and mandarin followed by whiffs of orange blossom, wet steel and flinty mineral notes. Crunchy lime, lemon and mandarin fruits are underpinned by laser etched acidity. Traces of honeysuckle are also apparent. Very flinty and minerally, it has a long zingy finish.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
