    1973 Janneau Vintage Collection Grand Armagnac (700ml)
    Armagnac, FRANCE
    $399. 00
    Bottle
    $4788.00 Dozen
    ABV: 43%

    In a world of wood-aged spirits distilled from raw materials throughout the year, Armagnac stands out as a product of viticulture, subject to annual growth cycles and variations inherent to 'vintages'. Blending multiple harvests to create a consistent house style remains common, however vintage-dated Armagnacs are another thing - distilled from a single harvest, grapes are moulded by the year’s climatic conditions, partly determining outturn and quality. Vines are cultivated to obtain acidic wines, low in alcohol, resulting in fruity and floral eaux-de-vie. Most vintages are potentially marketable, however it's not a standard practise. Eaux-de-vie from a single year requires particular care and attention. Distillation and ageing must be adapted to capture the individual character of the distillate, and the Cellar Master must decide on the period it should spend in new oak. The minimum is ten years (unlike blends), but if the Armagnac is deemed capable of extended ageing, it might mean 20, 50 or even 100 years in barrel. Thus, with experience and patience, these bottlings can enter the realm of top-tier spirits.

    Connoisseurs love Vintage Armagnacs because they have the ability to surprise - or at the very least - deliver more distinctive profiles than a mass blended brandy. Producers classify their diversity into five primary tastes – spices, fruits, bakery, floral, and green – with three different weights, ranging from “fine, light, and easy to drink” to “classic, rich, and well-balanced,” up to the "more powerful and expressive" vintages.

    Because they're prominently labelled with the year of production, these gems have become hugely popular as gifts whereby birthdays and anniversaries can be marked by a singular bottle - a way to turn back the clock via a liquid time capsule, rekindle memories and reflect. If you're lucky enough to secure a Vintage Armagnac but aren't ready to open it, store it upright so the alcohol doesn't attack the cork, in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, there's no hurry to finish it. These spirits don't oxidise quickly like a wine or Vintage Port, but they are best consumed within a few years, as recommended by the BNIA (Bureau National Interprofessionnel de l’Armagnac).

    2019 Pierre Gonon Saint Joseph
    Saint Joseph, Northern Rhone, FRANCE
    $250. 00
    Bottle
    $3000.00 Dozen
    ABV: 14%
    Closure: Cork

    Other Reviews....
    Gonon's 2019 Saint Joseph retains the typical floral signature on the nose, but it is more dark-fruited than usual, with notes of black cherries, blackberries and even black olives. It's medium to full-bodied, the first vintage recorded over 14% alcohol, according to Jean Gonon (14.2%). Concentrated, rich and velvety in feel, it boasts a long, gently chewy finish and should age well. Drink 2025-2038.

    Joe Czerwinski - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

    I am totally hooked by the flamboyance of the 2019 Saint-Joseph. Vinified with around 90% whole-clusters and checking in at 14.2% alcohol, the 2019 bursts with pronounced intensity of black cherry, blackberry, raspberry, crushed violets, licorice and earthy gradations. Discrete pencil shaving nuances add a ferrous dimension. Showing slightly grippier tannins compared to the more polished 2020, I suspect the 2019 will need a few more years to come around. Hitting the palate with a juicy core of ripe black fruits all balanced by refreshing acidity, this is a sexy Saint-Joseph that will stand the test of time. Drink 2028-2037.

    Moving to the flagship, the 2019 Saint Joseph got a big “wow” in my notes, and this is the finest wine I’ve tasted from these hard-working brothers. Awesome red and black fruits, ground pepper, and hints of game and meatiness all emerge from the glass, and it’s medium to full-bodied on the palate, with perfect balance, silky tannins, and one heck of a finish. This brilliant Saint Joseph is one of the top wines in the appellation and can be enjoyed any time over the coming 15 years. Drink 2022-2037.

    Incredibly open and vibrant aromatics of black olive tapenade, bay leaf and rosemary. Mouth-filling but without excessive weight, this is juicy and fresh. Finishing dry, this is a wine that’s entirely satisfying, delicious and sweetly fruited, with good acidity and length. Simply a brilliant wine, no matter how you measure it. Drink 2022-2034.

    More floral and red fruited than the 2019, Gonon's 2018 Saint Joseph is a medium to full-bodied effort that will please fans of this exemplary estate. Cherries and raspberries are joined by hints of violets and mint on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is starting to close down just a bit and show firm but ripe and silky tannins on the long, mouthwatering finish. Try to avoid opening a bottle for another few years, as the first flattering flush of youth is fast giving way to sullen adolescence. Drink 2025-2038.

    Deep violet. Intensely perfumed, mineral-accented aromas of red and blue fruit preserves, licorice, exotic spices and potpourri, along with an exotic suggestion of incense. Stains the palate with concentrated black raspberry, cassis, bitter cherry and fruitcake flavors that are given spicy lift by a suggestion of white pepper. A violet pastille nuance emerges with aeration and carries through an extremely long, youthfully tannic finish that shows outstanding definition and mineral thrust. Drink 2026-2036.

    Josh Raynolds - Vinous

    Cut from the same cloth as the 2019, the 2018 Saint Joseph is a dark, powerful, medium to full-bodied effort that has the sunny, ripe style of the vintage balanced beautifully by purity and freshness. Violets, spring flowers, bay leaf, and pepper-laced darker berry fruits give way to a polished, seamless Saint Joseph with terrific tannins and a great mid-palate. Both the 2018 and 2019 are terrific wines, with the 2019 showing just a touch more structure.

    Jeb Dunnuck

    Deeply aromatic with violets and Kalamata olives, it's wildly resinous with a touch of black cherry. Medium- to full-bodied, it's more concentrated and fresher than most Saint-Josephs this year. It has the classic depth and texture of Gonon's Saint-Joseph, thick and alive, like a jungle. Very long finish with a floral lift. A big vintage here - increasingly the norm. Better freshness and lower alcohol heat than most in 2019. Drink 2023-2030.

    2015 Signatory Vintage Glen Spey 9 Year Old 100 Proof Edition #37 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $119. 99
    Bottle
    $1439.88 Dozen
    ABV: 57.1%

    Considered by several whisky writers as "one of the most 'obscure' distilleries in Scotland", Glen Spey would have continued to slip under the radar of malt chasers, had it not been for a handful of favourable releases. Formerly known as the "Mill of Rothes", it was built in 1878 by James Stuart & Co (who later went on to buy the Macallan distillery). Always intended as a filler for blends, as with its neighbour, Glen Grant, pot stills are equipped with "purifiers", redirecting some vapour to reflux within the still to produce a less feinty and lighter spirit. This edition was matured in a first-fill sherry butt. 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

    Other reviews... Always these very affordable series from Signatory, with that heavily worked sherry that perhaps doesn’t always let the character of the distillate shine through, but does its job very, very well. Colour: full gold. Nose: ah this is pretty, there's a touch of exhaust fumes (not pleasant in the street but sometimes rather charming in your glass), then green walnuts, cherry stalks, and peach leaves. A few hints of satay sauce, followed by pear cake. With water: marked saponification but it fades quickly, then comes a mix of Indian spices, think tandoori seasoning. Mouth (neat): surprising, on mustard, pepper, tar and dark chocolate, quite the unusual trio. With water: this time, beyond the Indian spices, there's candied ginger and fir bud. Really very unusual. Finish: long, and there's even a flavour of poppadums at the end. Comments: very hard to categorise, this isn't your typical sherry cask. In any case, it feels much more Indian than those super Indian malt whiskies, ha. 84 points - whiskyfun.com

    Glenglassaugh Octaves Classic Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
    Reduced from $139.99
    $129. 99
    Bottle
    $1559.88 Dozen
    ABV: 44%

    Scotch whisky lovers will be familiar with the concept of octaves. As with the Quarter Cask approach, essentially, the smaller barrel volume creates more wood-whisky interaction, soaking up barrel characteristics faster. While the rapid wood influence adds more vanilla and spice, it requires careful management to avoid over-oaking, which is why octaves are typically employed to 'refine' whiskies, improving colour and adding complexity over months as a finishing, rather than a full term process. Glenglassaugh take the concept to an extreme! According to the producers, expect "A delicious combination of citrus and sweet notes". Non chill filtered and natural colour. 44% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... I’ve tried quite a few octaves by other makers that had been too new-oaky (vanilla, coconut, and basta), but let’s see… Colour: pale gold. Nose: it’s got a ‘crafty’ side for sure, with a youth that shines through (porridge, pears) and some half-sweet, half-spicy oak, very ‘American’. Vanilla, ginger cake, then rather butterscotch and crème brulée. The earthy/bready touches in the background work well, this is not a new-oak bomb. Mouth: a creamy mouth feel, it almost flows like honey, and a very pleasant acidic sweetness mingle with grassy oak. Citron liqueur and green tea, pepper, a few grassy eau-de-vie-ish notes (I’ve distilled spent lees on day, the result had a few similar notes), some bay leaves perhaps… The oak’s influence never stops growing and rather makes me think of European oak this time. But I doubt it’s European oak. Finish: rather long, really grassy and bitter, not in a bad way at all. Herb cordial. The vanilla is back in the aftertaste and comes with oranges or citrons. Comments: a good example of some young malt from some active oak. This time, balance has been found.  78 points - whiskyfun.com

    Glenglassaugh Octaves Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
    Reduced from $139.99
    $129. 99
    Bottle
    $1559.88 Dozen
    ABV: 44%

    Distilled from richly peated malted barley, this whisky has been matured in octave casks, made from staves of a used cask. Octaves are approximately 1/8th the size of a butt. The smaller cask allows for more interaction between the wood and the spirit, giving the whisky a great depth of flavour in a short period of time. Bottled at 44%, non chill filtered and natural colour. Expect a delicate, sweet peated stye.

    Other reviews... Colour: gold. Nose: could one use a mix of curry powder and antiseptic to smoke malted barley? Odd question, I know, but I do get quite some curry and quite some antiseptic, which is a combination that’s not as, well, as odd as you would think. Then we find more bandages and lemon juice, which is all fine. It’s actually got something slightly Laphroaiggy, not a bad benchmark for sure. Mouth: it’s not that I’m a peat head (I can hear you!), but the young distillate offered more resistance to the octaves, and the oak’s grassy/gingery side seems to be better integrated. Nice notes of lemongrass too, but the medicinal side has been lost on the palate. After all, Glenglassaugh’s not quite a coastal distillery, is it (I know some industry people are claiming that the whole of Scotland is coastal, which should imply that the place where you mature your whiskies does not matter. A long debate, not for here and not for now…) Finish: rather long, balanced, zesty/grassy and smoky. More ginger and pepper again in the aftertaste, that’s the octaves. Comments: a solid effort.  80 points - whiskyfun.com

    A Riesling that is true to style and region, sourced from around Leasingham, where there are, and have been over many years, some of the finest Rieslings in the country made. The aroma is a lemon pith, tart lime, and slightly minerally combination, and the palate shows a typical tension, and yet there is a deep intensity. The generous fruit flavours are tightened by the crisp acidity, which focuses and extends the palate. That crunchy, pebbly minerality on the finish is a feature. Drink 2025-2035.

    One of three wines now carrying the Church Block brand and given Shiraz is McLaren Vale’s leading red it makes sense to be part of such a high-profile team. Sourcing from several separate vineyards, this then stands as a regional expression of the variety, and quite a contemporary one at that. More than just a simplistic Shiraz plum fruit bomb, here we see savoury bouquet and flavours, Middle Eastern spices, braised root vegetables, black pepper, yet right in the core of the palate there’s an alluring burst of crimson to blue fruits, just enough to put any oak influence – both French and American with a tiny 8% new barrels – in its rightful background place. All up a lovely, friendly, very drinkable regional Shiraz.

    The 2023 Blewitt Springs Grenache is an aromatic, floral, red-fruited affair, shaped by abundant, sandy tannins in the mouth and tailing out over a long finish. This is supple, saturating and silky in the mouth, delivering all of the pleasure and satisfaction that Grenache (especially Grenache from McLaren Vale) is wont to do. There are notes of garden rose, pink peppercorn, red licorice, raspberry, cherry and blood orange. This is a marvelous wine, my favorite of the Clarendon Hills Grenaches in this vintage. A superstar. The tannins are the highlight—they create chew and shape—despite the fruit being marvelous. 14% alcohol, sealed under Diam. Drink 2025-2038.

    Fragrant, in a spicy way, fruits deep red and black, tar and a rugged, ferrous rockiness, with clove, black pepper, star anise, brown cardamom, red and purple florals and soused citrus peel. It’s not unusual here, but this really needs ample air to show its best. It has less heft than the Onkaparinga, but still plenty of power and structure, plus a supple viscosity across the palate. As said, air is needed, with floral notes filtering out and a greater sense of levity. Cellar for a couple of years to begin with or decant and stand for a half a day. Drink by 2033.

    Round and full with pear, green to red apple and lime fruits, crisp, tangy acidity and a long saline laced finish.

    This small planting (less than 1 hectare) of Fiano on the Jasper Hill property is located very close to the winery at the southern end of Georgia’s Paddock. The wine is made by Emily and Georgia Roberts and in the early years was produced entirely from purchased fruit. The 2025 vintage is a 50/50 blend of estate grown and purchased fruit which was partially fermented in used oak and bottled relatively early (under stelvin) to retain freshness.
    Bright pale straw to straw colour with a watery hue. Intense aromas of pear, red apple and honeysuckle are released through the nose followed by some lime and subtle ginger spice notes. Round and full on entry with pear, green to red apple and lime fruits melding into a Mediterranean herb and saline mineral like back drop. Crisp, tangy acidity lends an energetic feel to the long saline laced finish.

    Seriously swoon-worthy; Lo Stesso Fiano just keeps getting better and better with each release. The McNallys have worked with the grape for years and experience shows through in a complexity of flavours, textures and the kind of gentle savouriness that adds that extra layer of interest. Explores a world of intense citrus, of lemon balm, grapefruit pith and skin, lemon pastille and orange blossom aromatics, with pear, apple, quince and almond. So smooth; it roams fresh and long, aided by a subtle phenolic grip and tangy acid drive. So good on every level! Drink by 2030.

    From a single block, planted with MV6 in 2004. Significantly better than the '24 Shed Pinot Noir and for not a whole lot more in price. A bright ruby-red colour precedes a well-defined bouquet of redcurrant and cranberry together with summer flowers. The palate is elegant, with gently crunchy tannins rounding out a very well-put-together wine to drink now and over the next three to five years at least. Drink by 2030.

    A close-planted, north-easterly vineyard of MV6 is the home of this Pinot, which shows intense, ripe aromas without being excessive. The nose is delightful, with heady aromas of red cherry, strawberry, confectionery, rhubarb and some earthiness and stemminess – the tertiary characters are still yet to present themselves. The Pinot is still quite a youngster, as it often takes a while for it to settle down in bottle and show its best, so while it’s lovely now, it’ll get even better with a bit more bottle age.

    Bec Duffy loves Chardonnay and it shows, from the way the fruit is cradled and gently plucked at the exact ideal moment to the caress of very expensive oak that it matures in. Peach melba, lemonade fruit and gingerbread spice. This is edible from start to finish. Creamy thanks to its 50% Malo but with electric energy of acidity. There are plenty of reductive, smokey Chardonnays out there but this turns you head in the pedigree and total class act of the fruit itself. It’s princess Kate incarnate and it’s totally mesmerizing and full of fortitude and charm. This is a celebration of the Tamar Valley and a real standout! Drink with a fillet of coral trout in ginger and scallion sauce. Drink now or cellar for another 8-10 years. Drink 2025-2035.

    Shanteh Wale – WinePilot.com

    2024 was an excellent vintage in Tasmania, certainly warmer than the preceding year. The juice underwent a wild fermentation in barrel, before half underwent malolactic fermentation. Maturation was in French oak, 50% of it new, for ten months. Gleaming pale lemon, the nose exhibits some spicy oak notes, but integration is proceeding well. Expect the wine to look even better in two to three years. We have notes of cashews, nutmeg, cinnamon, peaches, pears and glacéd lemon. Good concentration throughout, the wine is well balanced with impressive intensity and serious length. Suffice to say, that the length and the way the wine maintains its intensity over the journey is one of the highlights of what is a cracking Chardonnay. This is a ten year proposition. Love it.

Gorgeously scented, the intense yet highly finessed nose marries aromatics of white peach, nectarine and pear with dried honey, biscuity nougat, cashew and gentle infusions of gun flint.

    I’m stunned by the concentration of fruit flavour here. If this wine called me on the telephone I’d be holding the receiver away from my ear – actually that’s not quite accurate because the flavour here is delicious, but you get the idea. The bottle cap should say Warning: Gale Force Flavour. These flavours play in the pear, grapefruit, tinned peach and lime arenas, with (subtle) flint and nougat characters as highlights. There’s pineapple-like acidity in action too, the latter emphasising just how drenched in flavour the acidity itself is, for starters, but also keeping the wine fresh and vigorous. The overall impression: A Class. Drink 2027-2034+

    This Pinot is a blend from three blocks hand picked on the 1st of March and sorted with 20% whole bunches added to 80% whole berries for fermentation. After two weeks fermenting on skins it was pressed to a mixture of 500 Lt puncheons, 300L Lt hogsheads and 225 Lt barriques where it completed malo and rested on fine lees for 11 months prior to blending and bottling in late February 2025.

    Semi translucent bright red core with dark red toned edges and a light red hue. Displaying admirable complexity and intensity, nosing offers up scents of red cherry, violet, strawberry, clove, forest floor, brambly cedar and spice. Delicious red to dark cherry and strawberry fruits are delivered with great power as they supplely flow across the palate. Lending further sophistication across the back half are notions of clove, rhubarb, brambly cedar, forest floor and spicy dried herbs.

    From the old Lance's vineyard, planted from 1976–1998 (with a selection massale from Mount Mary) and in 2003. 80% whole berry and 20% whole bunch. Bright crimson. Perfumed with wild strawberries, first of the summer cherries, subtle rose bush and spice. The more you swirl the glass, the more fragrant it becomes. On the palate, there is a tender plushness, making it feel quite different to the previous Bicknell FC pinots from the Upper Yarra. Fine tannins and bright acidity round out a beautifully crafted and graceful wine. Drink by 2032.

    The 2024 Applecross Pinot Noir is from a massal selection of clonal material planted between 1976 and 1998 at St. Andrews in the Yarra Valley. It was fermented with whole berries/whole bunches, and the élevage was in French oak barrels. This wine, a few months ahead of its market release currently, is so bright and perfumed. Rose, pistachio, graphite/petrichor, dry spice and tapenade coalesce on the palate in a rush. Pure, tightly wound and eminently focused, this is a gorgeous wine. The whole-bunch character rides high in the wine, but far from finding it distracting, I find myself attracted to it. This is super good and comes warmly recommended. 13.4% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2025-2039.

    Mouth filling flavours of pear, red apple, lychee and musk with a long energetic finish.

    After visiting the Alsace region in the late 1990’s where Riesling and Pinot Gris grow side by side, it seemed logical to Tim Adams that if Clare Valley had the conditions to produce world class Rieslings, it could also make quality Pinot Gris. The first vines were subsequently planted in the Tim Adams Ladera vineyard and today their Pinot Gris is one of the country's most popular.

    Brilliant pear skin tinged colour with a watery hue. Showing intense aromatics, the nose is filled with pear, red apple skin, quince and rose water scents. Some musk and spice notes are also evident. Mouth filling flavours of pear, red apple, lychee and musk carry excellent shape. Crisp acidity with a dash of spice shining through the long, concentrated and energetic finish.
    Drink over the next 2-3 years.

    2022 Teusner Bilmore Shiraz

    Closure: Stelvin

    Rich, exceptionally concentrated and voluptuous, this is quintessential Barossa Shiraz.

    Teusner’s Bilmore Shiraz is sourced from vineyards along the western ridge of the valley floor, an area stretching south of Seppeltsfield Road, around the back of the golf club at Rowland Flat and then on through the parish of Gomersal that overlooks the southern township of Lyndoch. Shiraz grown in these parts produces richly flavoured wines with soft and round textures that are dangerously drinkable. For the Bilmore Shiraz Kym Teusner puts the emphasis on Barossa’s trademark luxurious fruit using only older, seasoned barrels to mature the wine for a period of around 12 months.
    Impenetrable inky black heart with a near equally deep dark red black hue. Wafting from the glass are heady aromatics of liquorice, dark plum and black cherry followed by vanillin oak, earthy mocha and spice notes. Rich, exceptionally concentrated and voluptuous, plush dark plum, blackberry and liquorice fruits caress the full bodied palate. Lurking underneath are vanillin oak, mocha, subtle earth and spice elements. Boasting magnificent power it has silky smooth tannins and a long decadent finish.
    Drink over the next 4-5 years.

    Closure: Stelvin

    Established in 1967, Vasse Felix is one of Margaret River’s founding estates. The fruit for this superb Chardonnay was sourced from premier vineyards in the Margaret River sub regions of Wilyabrup and Wallcliffe. Fermentation and maturation took place in French oak barriques (30% new) for a period of 10 months.

    A rich and powerful yet wonderfully harmonious and refined Margaret River Chardonnay.

    Brilliant pale straw colour with highlights of green around the edges and a watery hue. Streaming out of the glass are white peach, nectarine and gentle cashew scents complimented by some biscuity nougat and spice notes. Rich and gently creamy in its textural feel yet wonderfully refined, the mid weighted palate is layered with fleshy white peach, nectarine, dried honey and cashew flavours. Biscuity nougat, subtle ginger and spice elements also chime in. Perfectly harmonious, it has a long driving finish.
    Drink over the next 5-6 years.

    What a great release, fresh and mineral yet showing a touch of the sun from the warmer vintage. Aromas of Meyer lemons, oyster shell, shortbread, crushed river stones and grapefruit pith. The refined palate is tightly wound with focused acidity and underlying power that will only develop. So much generosity with a hint of funk, pure drive and a precise, compact style. Excellent. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

    A slightly more generous style of chardonnay, showing richness and concentration while retaining fine linear precision. Minerally lemon curd with a savoury edge, intense and sustained. One of the best under this label. Drink over next 8 years.

    In this case, Riggs has journeyed to McLaren Vale to source the Grenache from a very good year. It’s once again that modern style, so it’s lighter in the medium-bodied zone, but there is no lack of fruit intensity and flavour. The nose displays all those floral, raspberry, rose petal notes that you might expect, while the palate has a subtle, savoury rusticness running through it, contributing to a slightly grainy texture, but loads of deeply intense bright red fruits, and a slightly crunchy watermelon cranberry feel that I found most appealing. Drink 2025-2031.

    The fruit here is sweet but the length, mouthfeel and overall impression is delicious plus plus. This is a lovely wine to drink. It tastes of raspberry, potpourri, peppercorns and sweet, roasted spices, and both the overall flow and the finesse of the tannin are spot on. McLaren Vale grenache, once again, for the win. Drink 2026-2029.

    Poached strawberry, orange and rhubarb, redcurrant gelee, cranberry sauce, dark rose petals. This is lightly coloured, vibrant and forward, with some complexing spices – white pepper, cardamom, mace. The palate flows in the same vein, with some upfront fruitful appeal that is marshalled down a savoury line, and in an orderly, considered way. Drink by 2028.

    A luscious yet lighter, elegant style of Sauternes that retains good freshness.

    Château Petit Védrines is the second wine of the Barsac cru classé, Château Doisy Védrines sourced from less concentrated pickings on the main estate plus six hectares of vines that were bought in 2001 from neighbouring Château Bouyot.
    Bright straw core with yellow gold tinged edges. Seductive aromas of honeyed peaches and apricot engulf the olfactory senses with hints of marmalade, toffee and spice also chiming in. Luscious yet fresh and finessed, the palate is decorated with peach and honeyed apricot flavours. Marmalade, pineapple and delicate spice elements linger around the back half. Elegant, honey drenched finish.
    Drink over the next 4-5 years.

    Midnight black heart with a dark red black tinged hue.

Rich, lush black cherry and liquorice fruits are backed by ripe chewy tannins. Spicy vanillin cedar, scorched earth and peppered fennel accents lie underneath.

    This is no Peppermint Pattie but it comes close, bringing a now-distinctive LWSTL peppery elegance to the glass. Wild ferments can be unpredictable, but this is a mighty strong follow-up to 2020 with a similar high level of intensity: black pepper, acacia, five-spice, licorice, black fruits and spice rolling long, clean and bright across the tongue. Tannins, supple and well-crafted, sit back in readiness for time in bottle – it can easily take 10 years – and they are girded for the journey. Drink by 2032.
