2022 Angove Warboys Vineyard GrenacheMcLaren Vale, South Australia, AUSTRALIA$39. 99Bottle$479.88 DozenCellar: Drink now - 10 Years (2026-2036)ABV: 14%Closure: StelvinRich, juicy and concentrated with magnificent power and a tense, sculptured feel.
Sourced from certified organic and biodynamic vines 59 plus years in age with maturation taking place in French oak puncheons for a period of 18 months.
Deep red to dark red colour with black tinged edges and a red hue. Fragrant scents of red raspberry, cherry and red liquorice flood the nostrils trailed by some fresh provincial herb, crushed rock and pepper notes. Rich, juicy and concentrated, the mouth is engulfed with spicy red raspberry, red liquorice and cherry fruits. Combining magnificent power with a tense, sculptured feel, notions of crushed rock, fresh herbs and peppered earth lend further nuance. Muscular tannins and fresh acidity with an exceptionally long and succulent yet chiselled finish.
Drink over the next 8-10 years.
Alc. 14%Other Reviews….
From the biodynamic Warboys Vineyard; 50% whole bunches; 16 months in French puncheons. This is moodier but also finer than the ’21 – more savoury, spicy and powered by authoritative tannins. The ’22 vintage saw many top Vale grenaches in this vein, with the structure sometimes forbidding early on. But what a joy those wines are now, and so too this. Relatively pale of hue, with aromas of cranberry and redcurrant rendered in savoury tones. Pressed flowers, dark spices, rosehip tea, warm bricks, bresaola and tar, the fruit intensity coiled into the structure, delightfully nervy and tense, drawing long and flavours fanning out strikingly. Superb. Drink by 2034.

A wine that catches you off guard with its familiar waft of candle wax and sparkler flint. There’s a wistful white floral aroma of frangipani and freesia drawing you in. As it opens, notes of pomelo, white pear and pineapple emerge. The wine then lights up like fireworks – the soft, sparkling kind – revealing hints of lemonade, yellow melon and a glittering acidity that is carefully bridled. Nuances of celery heart and fresh ginger follow, adding complexity. It is exquisite in its balance – teetering tropical notes, the fragility of herbal suggestion and an utterly moreish finish. Drink by 2032.

Alc. 12.8% - Christian Drouin Pomme Prisoniere Pays d'Auge Calvados (1000ml)Normandy, FRANCE$220. 00Bottle$2640.00 DozenABV: 40%
Each spring in Normandy, the Alleaume family hangs thousands of empty glass carafes in their apple orchards near Gonneville-sur-Honfleur. Over the summer, a tiny apple grows inside each one. Timing is everything, as the fruit must be introduced at precisely the right moment to fit through the vessel's narrow neck. By September, the carafes are harvested, cleaned, and filled with Calvados. Even after 30+ years of practice, only 40% of carafes hung yield a bottle fit for sale. But as founder Christian Drouin says: "Our first year, the success rate was just 5%. It wasn't zero, so we decided to persevere." As the apple macerates in the spirit, its fresh fruit character melds beautifully with the brandy, resulting in one of the most vibrantly fruity expressions you'll ever taste. Once opened, you can continue to top up the bottle with Calvados. Doing so will keep the apple glossy and preserved indefinitely. 40% Alc./Vol.

2024 Domaine des Hates Petit ChablisChablis, FRANCEReduced from $49.99$44. 99Bottle$539.88 DozenCellar: Drink now - 4 Years (2026-2030)ABV: 12.5%Closure: StelvinLocated in the north-west sector of Chablis in the village of Maligny, Pierrick Laroche runs this family estate which was established by his father in the 1970s. After getting a degree in oenology from Beaune, Patrick travelled the world, doing various internships to gain experience before returning home to start making wine and take over the family vineyards for himself. In 2010 he ceased selling grapes to the local co-operative and produced his first vintage to great acclaim.
The domain has nearly 12ha of Petit Chablis, classified as such because the limestone tends to be the younger Portlandian rather than the older Kimmeridgian, and as such typically occupies higher sites (Portlandian overlies Kimmeridgian) and has less clay. Pierrick is convinced that his largest parcel of Petit really ought to be classed as Chablis; it makes wine like Chablis and indeed is surrounded by AOC Chablis vines.Refreshing and gorgeously shaped with a classic Chablis oyster shell like salinity.
Brilliant pale straw colour with glistening green tinged edges and a watery hue. Attractive pear, lime and green apple scents are highly expressive in their flow out of the glass complimented by some wet stone, faint dried honey and a classic Chablis oyster shell like salinity. Vivid pear and lime fruits carry a river stone like mouth feel across the palate. Lending further nuance are infusions of fresh Mediterranean herbs, green apple, wet slate and an oyster shell like minerality. Refreshing acidity with a long, gorgeously shaped, saline laced finish.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.

Compagnie des Indes Compass Overproof White Rum (700ml)DOMINICAN REPUBLIC$99. 99Bottle$1199.88 DozenABV: 51.2%Bottled in France without filtration, we're informed that this is the result of two cane juice rums, the first a lighter style from a short fermentation, the second, and more full-bodied from a prolonged fermentation of fifteen days. The style is similar to Compagnie des Indes 'White Shark' edition, only the ABV is significantly higher. It's like going from a standard strength to a Navy Strength gin, especially in terms of the fuller, richer texture that works to integrate the spirit heat. Flavours almost feel secondary, slowly building definition in a tropical crescendo of papaya, unripe banana, dried mango, white pepper and grassy freshness. More accessible than other white rums in the overproof category, this retains enough power to cut through Tiki builds, Daiquiris and punches where a standard white rum can get lost.

This vintage celebrates 21 years of Tappa Pass Shiraz. The wine has a long history of graceful ageing so you can only imagine that that will continue with the ’23 vintage. The maker suggests another good 20+ years and why not, for amid the black fruits, the violet florals, the spice and earthiness, there is a solid backbone firmly in place. A pure elegance resides here dressed in brilliant crimson-purple hues accompanied by a rousing bouquet of blackberries, violet, Aussie bush scents, black cherries, plum, spice. The palate, nicely crafted, shows a hint of earthy savouriness before launching into a rich trove of spices in cassia bark, clove and dark spiced woody notes to match the dark chocolate, Cherry Ripe and oak (French oak, 10% new). Comes together with an overall Wow! on the finish. Drink 2026-2043.

The GlenAllachie 11 Year Old Marsala Wood Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - UK ExclusiveSpeyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND$99. 99Bottle$1199.88 DozenABV: 48%Exclusively bottled for the UK, this bronze coloured malt enjoyed initial ageing for over 8 years in ex-Bourbon barrels before a finishing period of approximately 42 months in specially selected Marsala casks. A fortified wine produced on the Italian island of Sicily, Marsala barrels contribute richness, resulting in a well-rounded malt bursting with sweet fruits and caramel, leading to a velvety mouthfeel and long finish. Bottled at 48%, with no added colouring and without chill-filtration.
Other reviews... The mouthfeel is good with a decent body to it - the taste reminds me of dark chocolate, cortado, but a hint of white pepper at the death. A decent dram where I got a decent note of chocolate - would probably go well with a decent porter or stout and a decent cheese board. Well worth trying a dram. - whiskybase.com

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.
Glenlivet's Cellar Collection was introduced to commemorate dates of importance in their history, as well as offer up some serious vintage malt from one of the most revered distilleries. 1973, however, was not chosen for its historical importance, but rather as a whisky that has reached full maturity and complexity. Non chill filtered but not bottled at cask strength (near enough at 49%), the '73 retains a refreshing elegance not found in many similarly aged whiskies. Bottles from this series have widely been heralded as the best Glenlivet has to offer, with the 1973 vintage considered to be an exciting and well-developed example. Described as having a youthful zippiness, with a honeyed vanilla sweetness and a malt-tinged citrus character, this bottle promises to be an unforgettable drinking experience. It presents just as well as any serious single malt with a leather-strapped, oak case. The first we have come across, and one of the more rare examples we have to offer. Very rare.

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.
The Last Drop was founded by three industry veterans who set out to track down extraordinary old stocks in forgotten cellars in order to bring whiskies of both great age and exceptional quality to the market. What can only be described as an obsession, they've committed a significant amount of time and energy scouring Scotland for buried treasure.
Reportedly made from around 70 different malt and 12 different grain whiskies, many of which are from silent distilleries, the inaugural release from The Last Drop takes its namesake to the next level. With the youngest whisky in the blend being 48 years old, when bottled in 2008, this is a serious step into the past for any whisky enthusiast. Only 1347 bottles were produced, each with its own 50ml miniature for the ultimate drinker/collector experience. Very rare. 52% Alc./Vol.
Tasted prior to Australian release: Slightly dull, deep orange/sienna brown colour with a viscous appearance. The nose is profound - shellac top note, then surprisingly Bourbon-like with deep vanilla cream and brandy sauce aromas. The palate takes an unexpected turn from the nose, with a silky glycerous entry followed by an intense, slow explosion of dried apricots and prunes over old, slow-burning oak smoke. Fantastic balance. Pronounced warming spirit glow followed by a long, soft aftertaste of smoky oak, nougat & cloves. This is all about incredible depth that only whiskies of this venerable age seem to attain. - 1986 Bruichladdich Blacker Still 20 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)Islay, SCOTLAND$1250. 00Bottle$15000.00 DozenABV: 50.7%
Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.
From a time before Bruichladdich had anything resembling a core range, the majority of the output from the distillery was predominantly one-off releases. Through most of the 80s, Bruichladdich were only operating one day out of the week. Blacker Still was released in 2006 alongside Redder Still (2007) and Golder Still (2008), showcasing the effect that different cask influences had on the whiskies' colouring, with appropriately coloured bottles and tins to match. Blacker Still refers to the colour of the inside of their wash still, implying that internal patina has a part to play in developing character, much like a well-seasoned pan. Matured for 20 years in Oloroso Sherry casks, an impressive figure considering their output at the time. One only. 50.7% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews...
...Lots of presence on the palate, the whisky staying maybe slightly in the background and the sherry and the port playing the first parts here. Medium long finish, frankly winey and ‘cooked’ now but still in a nice way. A good version, for genuine sherry lovers.

Four Grain Overproof is a robust, higher-ABV expression of the Melbourne-based distillery's bourbon-style whiskey. Bottled at 50% ABV rather than the standard 40%, it maintains the classic four-grain mash bill (corn, rye, barley, and wheat) aged in high-char virgin American oak. Expect bold yet balanced notes of vanillin and brown sugar, sweetness from the corn, gentle rye spice and a hint of mint on the nose. Great to drink neat with a drop of water, or as a base in spirit forward cocktails.

75/11/8/6% cabernet sauvignon/cabernet franc/malbec/petit verdot. A nicely composed, youthful blend with an impressively even flow of flavour and excellent fruit density. Beautifully fragrant, with pure aromas of blackcurrant and freshly crushed leaves, creating an aura of freshness and class. The palate is supported by a cradle of papery tannins and has all the right proportions for successful ageing. Drink by 2033.

Toni Paterson - James Halliday’s Australian Wine CompanionA blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon 75% with Cabernet Franc 11% and small touches of Malbec 8% and Petit Verdot 6% to round out the assemblage. This is almost as if you were perched above a foragers basket of berries and herbs. Blackberry, blueberries and Davidson plums. Some basil, rosemary and tuberose. Black soil, clove and gravelly stones. Clove and cassia bark compliment the intensity of fruit with slinky lines of acidity and firm tannins. This has the ability to age for a decade or so, becoming all the more ethereal and sexy. Drink now with pulled pork and black beans or in 10 years with an irish stew. Drink 2025-2035.

2023 Torbreck Run RigBarossa Valley, South Australia, AUSTRALIAReduced from $320.00$299. 00Bottle$3588.00 DozenCellar: Drink now - 10 Years (2026-2036)ABV: 15.5%Closure: CorkRich and luxurious with a thick, voluptuous texture and explosive power. An absolute stunner!
Produced from a blend of 99% Shiraz and 1% Viognier, Torbreck’s Run Rig is modelled on the Northern Rhone appellation of Cote Rotie’s wines. Fruit was sourced from the Lyndoch, Rowland Flat, Moppa, Ebenezer, Light Pass and Greenock districts of Barossa Valley with maturation taking place in a combination of new (50%) and older French barriques for a period of 30 months.
Spectacular colour density featuring a super saturated inky black heart along with an equally deep black dark red hue. Intoxicating aromas of dark plum, liquorice, black cherry and dark chocolate waft through the olfactory senses with an almost overwhelming decadence. Spicy vanillin oak, subtle apricot, earth and peppered fennel notes ensue. Rich and luxurious, the palate is a super concentrate of dark plum, liquorice, apricot and lush blackberry fruits. Thick voluptuous texture with spicy vanillin oak, faint traces of honeysuckle, scorched earth and peppered fennel lurking underneath. Bold yet silky smooth tannin structure. Boasting out of this world power and opulence it has a long mouth coating finish. Stunning stuff!
Drink over the next 8-10 years.

I have written many times about being the first person in the UK to buy this wine and list it on my Bibendum Restaurant wine list back in the ‘90s. That relationship has carried on unbroken to this day, and every time I taste RunRig, my heart takes a leap. In 2023, this is yet another super-serious and stunningly deep wine. The perfume is elevated, the palate is dense and regal, and the finish is initially ostentatious, then, at once, becomes contemplative and sage-like. Very dry, fine and hard, this is a classic example of a powerful wine that will drink well in its youth and then follow the two-decade RunRig mantra without missing a beat. I went back to my empty glass an hour later, and it was still utterly incredible. I would give it a higher score if I could, but 2023 RunRig will have to live with another perfect twenty.
20/20
Matthew JukesThe 2023 RunRig came from a cool, wet and late season, and the wine tastes so clearly both like RunRig and like 2023. It is savory and dense, powerful and concentrated, and the 1% Viognier (added, not co-fermented) contributes a gentle sway of flowers and dried apricots to the mix. This is a wonderful wine, one that ages with grace and ease. Last year, I did a vertical of the RunRig back to the first vintage, 1996, and the wine revealed itself to be sensitive to vintage variation yet true to its regional sourcing and identity. The fruit for this wine comes from six old-vine vineyards in the Barossa, each chosen for its textural, structural and flavor attributes. 15.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork. Drink 2026-2043.

MacNair’s Lum Reek 12 Year Old Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)SCOTLAND$89. 99Bottle$1079.88 DozenABV: 46%Category Winner at the 2022 World Whisky Awards.
The curious name for this series of blended malts is derived from an old Scottish saying: "Lang may yer lum reek", literally meaning ‘long may your chimney smoke’ - a traditional way to wish someone a long, healthy and prosperous life. The 12-year-old combines malts from Islay and Speyside. The recipe, created by industry veteran and Master Distiller/Blender of the Year, Billy Walker, includes both peated and unpeated whiskies, including aged GlenAllachie. He comments, “In terms of the peated malts in MacNair’s Lum Reek, there is some Islay Peat, and surprisingly some Mainland peat from a distillery which would surprise even the most informed consumers who know a lot about malt whiskies and what various distilleries have released over the last five, ten fifteen, twenty years. I would prefer not to disclose the name of the distillery, but personally it was a surprise that The GlenAllachie Distillers Co could get access to this distillery and style. So, there are definitely one or two very big surprises in there!”
First fill Bourbon, Pedro Ximénez and red wine casks have been employed to great effect, earning this some serious global accolades, including Double Gold (San Francisco World Spirits Competition, 2021), Best Blended Malt under 12 Years (World Whiskies Awards, 2020), and Gold (Scotch Whisky Masters, 2021). 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... immediately without thinking - a great item. It doesn't matter to me that it's a blended malt... and who said that only a single malt can be good?! For those unconvinced of smoky and peaty, this is the perfect item. It has a lot of flavors from sweet, salty, slightly sour, cultured tannins, tart. You can feel the hand of the master. Feel free to take it if it comes your way. - whiskybase.com

George Dickel Classic Recipe Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey (1000ml)Tennessee, UNITED STATES$84. 99Bottle$1019.88 DozenABV: 40%Tennessee whiskey fans may have noticed a change in Dickel's iconic numerical labels. Apparently, they were frequently mistaken for age statements and so perceived as 'misleading' by some consumers (in reality, the numbers just referred to the different recipe batches). Formerly known as George Dickel No. 8, 'Classic Recipe' features the brand's signature mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye and 8% malted barley. Like the rest of the range, before aging, the whiskey is charcoal mellowed and then placed into new, charred American oak barrels (heads #2 char, staves #4 char). Reportedly, the liquid inside the bottle remains exactly the same, while the one litre format adds value. 40% Alc./vol.
Other reviews... A great value. Fully matured and very civilized. Good enough to drink neat, yet inexpensive enough to use as a mixer. Creamy, silky notes of vanilla, caramel, and honeyed corn, along with citrus and pineapple, with a slight dusting of cocoa powder. Gentle finish. 85 points - whiskyadvocate.com
Aged about 6 years. Clearly a bolder flavor profile here, with plenty more spice to go around, and a burly finish that packs in lots of citrus, tobacco, and creme brulee notes than the Cascade Hollow. The charcoal finishing makes itself known in the end, where some smoky notes are evident. - drinkhacker.com

MacNair’s Lum Reek 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 2 Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)SCOTLAND$109. 99Bottle$1319.88 DozenABV: 55.8%Lum Reek Batch 2 repeats the successful formula of Batch 1, using Islay, Speyside, and aged GlenAllachie malts, which come together in Spanish sherry casks, wine barriques & virgin oak casks. 55.8% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtrered.
Other reviews... This gives a deep peat boost, big enough to counter most of the red wine character. It shows a dry and tannic side at times, but overall it is well composed and a good option for an intense, affordable peat bomb. - whiskynotes.be
A blend by Glenallachie's famous Billy Walker. It does come with a story and, apparently, with some peat. Colour: gold. Nose: smoke and soot and ashes and dough and tons of bacon. With water: lemon peel, grass, plasticine, hand cream, garden bonfire. Mouth (neat): Islay. That's the thing, when you add 5%, you feel it. When you add 10%, it's smoky. And when you add 20% and beyond, it's a peater. With water: an excellent, crisp, chiselled, uncomplicated citrusy peater. Finish: long and peaty. Zillions of companies are having such peaty blends these days, but I believe this one's particularly, err, peaty. And good. Walnuts and teas in the aftertaste, that should be the 'sherry'. Comments: of course it's good. 83 points - whiskyfun.com
"The nose brings notes of peat together with more subtle hints of toffee, nuts and cinnamon. Moving on to the palate, there are some light sherry notes together with sultanas, toffee and a hint of smoke. The cinnamon note develops and leads in to the finish." - Bronze - World Whisky Awards 2023

Gosh, this is such a good wine. It was a super vintage in Heathcote, and you can see it immediately on the nose with further highlights on the palate. This is not a massively opulent style of wine, but it has tremendous concentration of fruit delivered with such poise and elegance, spicy, savoury dark fruits, a little chocolate, plenty of those plummy riches. And finished with incredible polish with the use of 500-liter French oak puncheons. It seems the 20% whole bunch inclusions have certainly brought that palate into focus. An exceptional wine. Drink 2026 - 2046.

Ray Jordan – WinePilot.comDelves deeply into the heart of Heathcote shiraz and it's there that lovers of the grape will find total enjoyment. Gotta love the combination of black and red fruits, the energy they emit, and the elegant addition of spices, briar, earth, smart vanillin oak and a mineral-like vigour that flows through the wine. It's swept along in grainy, ripe tannins, lingering long on the finish. Drink by 2038.

If you’ve been foraging for wild mushrooms surrounded by intoxicating aromas of warm earth, damp leaves, moss and pine needles, then you’ll love this wine. It smells of all that and would be a great match for a risotto with fungi. The palate is lighter framed, but some spicy, woodsy oak comes through to add definition, with dabs of sweet cherries and strawberry compote, supple yet lightly pulling tannins and lively acidity. Best in its youth, so get out the big glasses. Drink by 2033.
