Chalky talc, wet steel and flinty mineral elements linger through the long, zippy finish. Gold medal and 95 points at the 2025 Sydney Royal Wine Show.

Bottle
$419.88 Dozen

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

ABV: 13%

Closure: Stelvin

Crunchy and juicy with a long, scrumptious mineral laced finish.

Grapes are selected from four vineyards ranging from 8 to 30 years old, with fermentation taking place in stainless steel tanks and the wine given approximately 5 months lees contact to build its textural attributes.
Brilliant pale straw colour with green tinted edges and a watery hue. Lifted lime, pear and green apple scents infused with fresh herbs are followed by some guava and slatey mineral notes. Juicy lime, guava and green apple fruits are underscored by crunchy acidity with infusions of fresh herbs and flinty mineral elements lingering through the long, scrumptious finish.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.

Other Reviews….
A ripe, floral nose with baked apples and lemons, pressed flowers and a hint of ginger-tinged honey, turning immediately vivid and intense on the medium-bodied palate and driving through the long, tightly packed finish. Yet, it remains a well-proportioned verdicchio with a lovely, silky texture. From organically grown grapes. Fun to drink now.

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

ABV: 13.5%

Included in the ferment was 25% whole bunch fruit with maturation taking place in French oak barriques and puncheons (one third new) for a period of 10 months. Semi translucent red to dark red colour with black shaded edges and a light red hue. Wonderfully perfumed nose with scents of violet, dark cherry, strawberry and anise complimented by some delicately toasted cedar, fresh herbs, forest floor and spice. Delicious dark cherry, strawberry and anise flavours are laid out across the savoury palate with notions of spicy cedar, forest floor and infusions of fresh herbs extending across the back half. Understated in its power, it has well structured, fine grained tannins, good freshness and a long spicy finish.

Other Reviews….
Aromatics are abundant with charred sour cherry, juicy red berries, savoury sweet woodsy spice, a whiff of game, still a hint of blood and a red earthed rock salt note. Great fruit intensity on the palate, waves of flavour and a precise drive from start to finish. The shape holds firm, the acid line is long and lean, and the chalky texture wraps around it snugly with lightly toasted oak. This has brilliant length and shape, with an emotive shapeshifting quality to it. Nudging into crevices and bringing you back to the glass for more. The finish is long, and that just bitter char note holds strong, a nice foil to the fruit freshness. slight herbal, red cherry cola note. Brilliant and resplendent with clean-cut energy. Drink 2025-2033.

Stunning and captivating, the wine shows dark berry, warm spice, porcini, and toasted almond characters with an elegant floral overtone. The palate is equally enticing with outstanding concentration and depth, combined with silky flow and beautifully infused fine tannins, making it wonderfully structured with finesse and sophistication. Gorgeously proportioned and harmonious with a sustained, graceful finish. At its best: 2027 to 2042.

Sam Kim – Wine Orbit
The 2022 Pinot Noir is lighter than the 2020 and softer than the 2021. In 2022, the decision was made not to release any single-vineyard wines "because they didn't express the character that we were hoping for in that vintage," says Winemaker Helen Masters. On the nose, there's white strawberry, cherry, pomegranate pearls and even a hint of raspberry leaf. In the mouth, the wine is pink peppercorn, open and yet compact, open-weave without being loose. There's clarity. It's lovely. The best fruit from the three single vineyards and the older estate vineyards make up this wine, yet the overall volume of the Ata Rangi Pinot Noir remains the same. Interesting to note that in 2023, there was no Ata Rangi 2023 made; all of the fruit flowed to the Crimson cuvée, the first time in the estate's 39 years. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2023-2037.

Erin Larkin – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
A tight and focused Ata Rangi with sliced strawberries and hints of white pepper and minerals. It’s medium-bodied, crisp and fresh, with light wet earth and fresh mushroom undertones to the fruit. This has verve. Drink or hold.

Home Hill is one of your classic Australian vineyard retreats that functions as both a serious winery and a charming getaway with restaurant included. The focus here is primarily on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sylvaner and Sparkling wine, but their track record really shines with Pinot.

Wonderfully fragrant, the nose offers up intense aromatics of violet, dark cherry, strawberry and anise followed by some fresh herb, forest floor and delicate spicy cedar notes. Flooding the mouth with a superb power wave of flavour are rich dark cherry, red plum and strawberry fruits. Notions of anise, spicy cedar, forest floor and dried herbs the undercard. Supple textural feel with velvety yet structural tannins and a long expansive finish that shows plenty of spice.

The Macallan Litha Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$350. 00
Bottle
$4200.00 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Presented in a gift box illustrated by award-winning artist Sija Hong, The Macallan Litha celebrates a “meeting of two worlds”—Scotland and Spain— shaped by first-fill sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez de la Frontera. The result is a radiant, summer-evoking single malt that balances bright fruit with indulgent sweetness and warm oak spice. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Only NAS and 40% vol. again, but 1st fill sherry (seasoning)! You cannot have everything, I suppose, even in China. The price is totally typo-y (meaning it can only be a typo at 300-400€). Apparently, Litha means 'light' in some kind of Celtic language – or is it Gaelic? Mandarin? Cantonese? Colour: dark gold/light amber. Nose: clearly something old-school Macallan, with a rather perfect sherry indeed, many roasted nuts, rather rose and jasmine this time, dark honeys, dried figs and dates, blueberry muffins, a fresh box of cigars, a little parsley and mint, some black earth (potting soil) and peanut butter… This really is an awesome nose, despite the strength. But low strengths rather feel on your palate… Mouth: not as 'peacocky' on the palate, but this was to be expected. Once again the wood feels a little bit, with more black tea and pepper, while the distillate would try to shoot dried fruits, marmalade and roasted nuts. Sadly, it remains a little weak and thin, which I find frustrating. Why 40% vol.! Finish: shortish, nuttier. Walnut cake and marmalade in the even shorter aftertaste. Comments: very light on your palate, indeed pretty 'Litha'. The nose was very adorable. 85 points. - whiskyfun.com
Notes from the producers... Nose: Butterscotch, vanilla and chocolate lift into citrus and tropical fruits. Palate: Vanilla ice cream with berry compote, toasted oak and warming wood spice, layered with salted caramel and pecans. Finish: Medium in length with lingering fruits, vanilla and sweet oak.

The Macallan A Night On Earth The First Light Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$240. 00
Bottle
$2880.00 Dozen

ABV: 43%

Macallan's special releases are becoming so numerous that apart from the bespoke packaging and artwork, it's sometimes hard to differentiate between them. Most are matured in sherry-seasoned oak, which historically has been a defining feature of the Speyside distillery. Every now and then, they throw some bourbon barrels into the mix as well. Such is the case with the new A Night on Earth: The First Light. According to the distillery, the barrels were used sparingly to bring “delicate sweetness” to the palate, so the majority of the whisky was still aged in sherry-seasoned American and European oak. Official tasting notes describe notes of caramel, mellow baking spices, vanilla ice cream, pavlova, icing sugar, stone fruits, and hints of coconut and Manuka honey on the palate. The reference to The First Light, is meant to celebrate the arrival of the New Year in New Zealand with the presentation featuring colourful illustrations by New Zealand artist, Bonnie Brown. 43% Alc./Vol.

Kinglake Distillery Weird Science Cask Strength Single Malt Australian Whisky (500ml)

Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$154. 99
Bottle
$1859.88 Dozen

ABV: 60%

340 bottles make up the newest special release from Kinglake, born in ex-bourbon, "finished in madness". After a spell in American oak, it was transferred to a cask that held Tallboy and Moose’s lunatic Eisbock, a beer so unhinged it was quintuple ice-distilled to 20% before being aged to a final, brain-melting 30% ABV. Kinglake wet-filled that barrel with one-year-old spirit and let the mountain humidity work its twisted alchemy for another three years. The result comes out of nowhere, a delicate, nuanced single malt that belies its cask strength. A perfect springtime, single-malt solution. 60% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Aromas of Riesling and river pebbles softening into something warmer: crisp green apple peel, honeyed malt, and the faintest suggestion of sun-dried hops. The texture is silken but nervy, Riesling crossed with pale ale and raised by whisky. Lemongrass, wild honey, and mineral salt with faint echoes of that Eisbock past -, roasted grain, and a ghost of toffee. It’s crisp yet creamy. The finish doesn’t so much fade as evolve. A burst of lemon sorbet and malted milk, chased by a cooling minerality that recalls slate, cold air, and curiosity. - Alex Woods – timeandtide.info

Bruichladdich Octomore 16.1 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND
$270. 00
Bottle
$3240.00 Dozen

ABV: 59.3%

Other reviews... 5 years old, as noted, bourbon-barreled in 100% first-fill barrels; peated to 101.4 ppm of phenols — quite low for the series. 100% Scottish Concerto barley. This is one of the most immediately engaging “.1” Octomore releases I’ve encountered in a while, and it hits the nose with a freshness that can be lacking in the bourbon-exclusive version of Octomore. Sweet and fruity, there’s a strong tropical bent on the nose that makes for a nice companion to the lacing of peat smoke, ringed with tobacco-adjacent greenery notes. The palate keeps the theme going, here the fruit veering more to apricot and peach notes, later segueing into almond and honey. The peat is fairly light-handed here but always waiting in the wings. When the fruity sweetness fades a bit, it roars to life with a gravelly punch evoking turned earth more than beach bonfire this year, which ultimately threatens to overpower the milk chocolate notes that arrive on the finish. 118.6 proof. - drinkhacker.com
...I expected a mediocre whisky for a lot of money, which doesn't match the quality, but instead I received a very decent whisky, traditionally with plenty of smoke, sweet yellow fruit in the form of apples, apricots, and juicy peaches. The finish is very pleasant, with a campfire and a hint of chocolate and fresh mint. If I find it at a good price somewhere, I'll gladly buy it. - whiskybase.com
101.4ppm peat, which is almost nothing really. I mean, for Octomore’s malt, which can apparently reach 300ppm or so. The barley itself was harvested in 2018, then distilled in 2019. Never forget the dormancy period of barley, during which freshly harvested grains don’t germinate straight away, it can last several months. Naturally, no germination means no malting. Colour: straw. Nose: precisely the feeling of burying one’s nose in a full ashtray at an open-air nightclub on the Côte d’Azur, around four in the morning. Then the smell of a spent fireplace in which mostly coniferous wood had been burnt. In the background, just a faint whiff of slightly sour beer. With water: apples and almond milk emerge, accompanied by a touch of brine. Mouth (neat): very powerful, it does burn a fair bit, but it also recalls high-ester Hampden, something like <DOK. One of these days we ought to do a proper and methodical comparison. With water: someone seems to have smoked brine and added sour apple juice. Finish: very long, very nervous, with a kind of ultra-concentrated fino sherry character. Ashes and black pepper rule the aftertaste. Comments: a bit like sea water after a phantom Russian tanker has passed by, feels rather more extreme than last year’s ‘15.1’. 87 points - whiskyfun.com

Glendronach Ode To The Embers Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 48.4%

Other reviews... Part of a trio of whiskies celebrating Glendronach’s use of sherry casks, Ode to the Embers is a peated malt that leaps out of the glass with smoke and cinders, the dense peat melding with the sherry cask influence to create a meaty impression with barbecue spices and charred aromas. The palate dials back the peat and lets the cask influence shine: Ripe berries, apples, and heather honey blend into a slightly smoky, very fruity finish. 94 points - whiskyadvocate.com
...Apparently, the smoke genuinely comes from the distillate itself, not from any sort of finishing in an ex-cask of… let’s say Laphroaig, as many tend to do. Colour: gold. Nose: a light smoke, nicely integrated into the sherry, with no clash. A faint whiff of exhaust fumes, which we rather enjoy, then some myrtle and cherries, pleasant touches of natural rubber, a hint of smoked meat (some kind of smoked beef jerky), followed by barbecue smoke and pine needles. Mouth: it’s a touch more dissonant for me, on rubber, pepper, bitter zest, sour cherries, and a faint note of prosecco, even Aperol Spritz. Finish: medium length and still rather marked by the Aperol. Aperol, that’s not owned by Brown-Forman, is it? Comments: I find it quite pleasant as well, with a few modern flavours and a slight cocktail edge. One must move with the times, I suppose. 82 points - whiskyfun.com

The Macallan Harmony JING Collaboration Inspired By Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$299. 00
Bottle
$3588.00 Dozen

ABV: 43.9%

Originally a travel retail exclusive as part of the Harmony Collection, this expression is inspired by Organic Cherrywood Lapsang Tea, drawing on flavours found in the Jing tea which is smoked over cherrywood. The whisky was primarily matured in sherry-seasoned European oak casks, with a selection of sherry-seasoned x-Bourbon oak. The Phoenix Honey Orchid tea is an oolong tea grown in the Phoenix Mountain range of Guangdong in China, which is said to have dessert wine and exotic fruit aromas. Jaume Ferras, creative director at the Macallan, commented, “Our collaboration with JING is a celebration of the parallels between whisky and tea — two crafts deeply rooted in nature, tradition and time. Working with JING has allowed us to explore new dimensions of flavour and storytelling, creating two whiskies that are both innovative and deeply connected to the land.” The presentation box has been made using repurposed tea leaves, in line with the Harmony Collection's tradition of using organic materials at the end of their natural lives in its packaging. 43.9% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... An expression drawn from American and European oak casks seasoned with sherry and ex-bourbon, inspired by Phoenix Honey Orchid Tea, a Chinese oolong offered by tea merchants called ‘Jing’ (whom we didn’t know, mind you). We’re supposed to find notes of peach, orchid and honey, or so they say, although figuratively of course. We had rather enjoyed ‘Vibrant Oak’, while the other ‘Harmony’ offerings left us a little more indifferent. Colour: gold. Nose: the oak is a little prominent at first, as is often the case with many contemporary official malts, but the marmalade and maltiness quickly come through. Then lots of damsons and stewed cherries. There is indeed also a faint touch of rose petal, which may well be the aforementioned orchid. Mouth: nothing to complain about here, it’s good, initially on honey, citrus zest and ginger, then comes the speculoos and quite simply cinnamon. And I can’t help but detect a little tea, somewhat drying as well, though that’s quite common with malts matured in fairly active casks. Finish: fairly long, rather on bitter oranges, candied cherries, chocolate and dried raisins. A hint of coffee at the end, that must be from the casks too. Comments: I find this really quite good and will now start taking more interest in ‘Jing’. 85 points - whiskyfun.com

Balvenie A Collection of Curious Casks American Bourbon Barrel 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Reduced from $220.00
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 47.8%

Other reviews... Balvenie is also one of those brands increasingly using unusual casks for finishing, but firstly, we've always held the utmost respect for Balvenie, and secondly, they were among the pioneers with their renowned ‘Doublewood’, ‘Islay Cask’, and ‘Portwood’. So, we can hardly accuse them of just jumping on the bandwagon. Well, of course, an ex-bourbon barrel could hardly qualify as a ‘curious cask,’ and I do hope it never will, but it seems the good folk at Balvenie have detected some unusual smoky notes here. I suspect that might have come from the previous contents of the barrel. Colour: white wine. Nose: it’s absolutely beautiful, reminiscent of a top-tier Chenin Blanc (Savennières, perhaps?) with a touch of gunflint. Honeysuckle, white currants, pink grapefruit, chalk, and a few hints of soot and saltpetre, followed by very restrained vanilla. The balance is superb. For now, the smoke is more of the ‘flinty’ variety. Mouth: wonderful lemony tension, with more flint and chalk, perhaps even a suggestion of cigarette ash (brings to mind the days when one might smoke outdoors in a strong wind), then green apple and indeed a whisper of lapsang souchong tea, though perhaps only half of a small cup, the kind they sometimes use in China. Finish: the classic Balvenie markers come through—quince and mirabelle plums—then a touch of acacia honey, but overall it stays delightfully taut, with a hint of salinity in the aftertaste. Comments: very good indeed. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. 87 points - whiskyfun.com

Highland Park 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - Circa 2008 Bottling

Orkney Islands, SCOTLAND
$6999. 00
Bottle
$83988.00 Dozen

ABV: 48.3%

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks, including, but not limited to, a loose paper neck collar, the embossed logo on the bottle has started to lift from the glass and there is a small chip to the wooden case on the upper left corner. Actual product pictured.
Other reviews... It’s the first time that we write our own proper (so to speak) tasting notes for the recent 40yo; it was about time. Colour: amber. Nose: it’s rather amazing that quite the same resinous and mentholated notes as in the 1959 do show up here. It’s really all on old armoire that hasn’t been opened since… well, WWII and fir tree honey and camphor. It gets then rather fruitier, on dried pears and bananas, and finally very maritime and smoky like a very old Islayer. The secondary notes are gunflints, struck matches, crystallised quinces and heather (trademark). Superb. Mouth: it’s having a bit of a hard time after the 1959 I must say, being rather drier and more vegetal, but it does unfold after a little time. More dry sherry than on the nose, more resinous and ‘green’ notes (chlorophyll again) but also superb notes of sultanas, blood oranges (a fruitiness that’s well here, only a little slow to show up) and fresh almonds. The oak is very present. Finish: very long and more ‘oriental’, with touches of orange blossom water and something slightly Campari-esque. Comments: maybe this beautiful 40 is no absolute fireworks, nor the arrival of the Grand Moghul but it’s a bl**dy good dram, very complex. Just a tiny tad too oaky for my taste. 91 points - whiskyfun.com
...The nose exhibits intense fruity aromas, underlined with the typical heathery/peat character that makes this distillery so distinctive. Light creosote, liquorice, apples, pears flavours, heather, honey, raisins and sherry notes all fight together to reveal some stunning character. The palate is more peaty than the 25yo or 30yo official release. It feels almost medicinal/organic and definitely maritime, very long and powerful (amazing strength for a 40yo!). The sherry influence is great. Some light sulphurs bring some gunflint flavours. Of course there is also some oak on the finish, but it feels nicely integrated. I would call this whisky a masterpiece and can only salute the work of the team at Highland Park that crafted this bottling. Perhaps there are a couple of 'emotional' points included in my 96 points rating, but there is nothing I would add or take away from this whisky.- Olivier Humbrecht, whiskyfun.com
...Antique copper color, with some streaks of gold. A complex array of dried fruit on the nose, peppered with dried spice, orange marmalade, dark chocolate, and wood shavings. On the palate, the immediate impact is once again marmalade, followed briefly by bramble before drier notes of dark chocolate, wood shavings, anise, and subtle smoke emerge. Dry and spicy on the finish, but never austere. A delicious, contemplative 40 year old Highland Park that has aged gracefully. 93 points - whiskyadvocate.com

2008 Signatory Vintage Dailuaine 16 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$169. 99
Bottle
$2039.88 Dozen

ABV: 57%

Another first-fill oloroso finish in Signatory's latest outturn, which is, coincidentally the same age as Diageo's official Flora & Fauna bottling, except this is cask strength. Dailuaine's robust distillery character is known to handle sherry maturations well, where it becomes big, boisterous and complex. The yield was 681 bottles at 57% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... A lovely, integrated sherried dram with the oiliness of Dailuaine - nicked a point as there was a lingering bitterness towards the end of the taste/finish which undermined the rest of the dram. Nose: Warm, spicy, sherried notes - caramel, plums, black pepper, coexisting with a yesty, malty note. With time, fresh fruits and honey appears. Taste: A lovely oiliness develops in the mouth, then the maltiness, brown sugar, raisins and oak takes over. Finish: Walnuts, mild spiciness (black pepper), oak appears at the end. Long after, stewed plums linger in the mouth. - whiskybase.com

2009 Signatory Vintage Jura 16 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Isle of Jura, SCOTLAND
$169. 99
Bottle
$2039.88 Dozen

ABV: 54.2%

It will be fascinating to taste what sort of impact a first-fill oloroso finish has on the typically elegant Jura malt. Some tasters have said the sherry dominates and little distillery character remains. Others describe a profile that's "Salty and sweet—sherry-forward but still coastal, with notes of smoked dates, treacle toffee, liquorice root, and nutmeg." What's likely is that it will be absolutely nothing like the official 16-year-old, so definitely another side of Jura for fans to explore. The yield was 676 bottles at 54.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Connacht Spirit of the Atlantic Single Malt Irish Whiskey (700ml)

IRELAND
$159. 99
Bottle
$1919.88 Dozen

ABV: 44.8%

This represents Connacht Distillery’s own stock and is the first whiskey to be distilled in Co. Mayo in over 150 years. Batch No.1 debuted in 2021 with high acclaim, including a San Francisco Spirits Competition Double Gold, gold from the Irish Whiskey Awards, a rare 95 point rating from the New York Spirits Competition and 'Best in Class’ at the American Distilling Institute – all at just over 4 years old. Since then, the company have announced their first core release, a minimum 4-year-old single malt matured in ex Bourbon and ex Oloroso Sherry casks. Sub-labelled "Spirit of the Atlantic" it's bottled at 44.8% Alc./Vol. and comes non-chill filtered.
Other reviews... Delicate and youthful but never hot or harsh. Lemon and lime with a soft vanilla touch and more of those esters such as pear drops and pineapple chunks. Finish A soft touch of Bourbon oak, black pepper and ginger... What I love about this is that it lets the distillate shine, the oak influence is low but takes away any harshness in the spirit. It seems there is a lot to look forward to at Connacht and this first release bodes very well. - Irish Whiskey Magazine

Sydney, New South Wales, AUSTRALIA
$63. 99
Bottle
$767.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Inspired by Australia’s long and storied rum history, White Cane is a local reimagining of a spirit known to the rest of the world as white rum. It features high-test NSW molasses, cold distilled using a one-of-a-kind copper vacuum still to capture the delicate, delicious flavours of locally sourced sugarcane, resulting in a spirit that is pillowy soft with a refreshing finish. 40% Alc./Vol.
Notes from the producers... Nose: A fragrant and vibrant nose of roasted marshmallow, golden syrup and pineapple. With a moment to unfold, it reveals the luscious aromas of ripe bananas, persimmon, and caraway seeds. Palate: Luxurious and creamy, with mango, coconut flesh and liquorice allsorts offering a palate that balances power and vigour with finesse. Finish: A lingering, pillow-soft finish with bursts of raspberries, poached pear, and a subtle hint of spearmint.

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$169. 99
Bottle
$2039.88 Dozen

ABV: 57.3%

Obscurity features here, Glen Spey's relatively modest production was always intended for blends, with the first semi-official bottling only released in 2001. Yet, ironically, the distillery is located in the heartland of Scotland's whisky industry. Signatory keep the fire burning with a natural strength edition from a first-fill oloroso butt. 646 bottles 57.3% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... Pungent, spicy, relatively full, the impression is spoiled by the acidity of the fruit (orchard) grapes, chocolate, relatively dry, vanilla, woodiness, melon compote and pineapple, the alcohol is felt quite strongly compared to the other samples from the set, but not disturbingly. Nice fruity-sour dram. - whiskybase.com

2008 Signatory Vintage Knockdhu 16 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$169. 99
Bottle
$2039.88 Dozen

ABV: 56.9%

Sherried hits are a running theme in the latest Signatory shipment, on this occasion, from one of the least known distilleries in the region (even indies have a hard time getting their hands on Knockdhu!) The wine influence might be dialled back slightly (it's a second fill oloroso sherry butt), but you can expect notes of chewy fruitcake, blood orange, toasted walnut and hints of cherry liqueur. 677 bottles filled at 56.9% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... Nice full whisky where you can smell the bourbon barrel quite strongly since 2fill is not that dominant. Decent interplay of sherry and bourbon which I really like. Vanilla sweet and sour fruit a little pineapple and in the background there are unripe cherries which give it a great taste. Will want another bottle here. - whiskybase.com

2024 Elanto Vineyard Chardonnay Magnum (1500ml)

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$195. 00
Bottle
$2340.00 Dozen

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

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Rich and enveloping with a long, expansive finish that displays a Burgundian like refinement.
Elanto Vineyard is fast becoming one of the most compelling projects on the Mornington Peninsula. Established in 2018 by Elizabeth and Tony Todaro with Sandro Mosele at the helm, the 10.6-hectare Balnarring site is planted at an extraordinary density over 11,000 vines per hectare, four times the regional norm. Yields are kept to just 300-500g per vine, resulting in small, concentrated bunches that carry the depth and power Sandro has long championed. Volcanic red soils, southeast exposure, and the cooling influence of Western Port Bay provide the setting, while meticulous organic farming and uncompromising vineyard detail push the wines into rare territory.
The three Chardonnay vineyards, Verge, Buckshot, and Seawinds, span 4 hectares on the lower slopes, where silt over clay transitions to lighter, gravelly soils rich in buckshot. The cool southerly airflow and soil profile preserve natural acidity and enhance mineral notes. Each vineyard was harvested and vinified separately, with hand-sorted fruit whole-bunch pressed directly into a mix of new and older French oak barriques for natural fermentation. After 10 months in barrel, the wine spent an additional two months in large concrete vats before bottling.
Brilliant pale straw colour with green highlights around the outskirts and a watery hue. Intense white peach, pear, ripe nectarine and dried honey aromas engulf the olfactory senses. Notions of crème brulee, citrusy nougat, cashew, subtle bacon fat and spice then chime in for additional complexity. Rich, concentrated and enveloping, a creamy textural feel is perfectly counterpointed by fresh acidity with mouthfilling white peach, fleshy pear and nectarine fruits melding into a creme brulee, citrusy nougat, delicate cashew and spice back drop. Boasting outstanding power and depth, it has a long expansive finish that displays a Burgundian like refinement.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Other Reviews…..
A terrific follow up to the inaugural release, coming out with more weight and body. Mid-straw gold and bright. Floral and waxy with lemon, spiced stone fruit, brown spices and honeycomb – lots within yet definitely in the savoury spectrum. Fuller bodied, rich, almost al dente with its phenolics and layers of texture via creamy, nutty lees. It’s detailed yet supple, with a succulence thanks to the all-important uplifting acidity. Moreish and compelling. Drink by 2034.

Jane Faulkner – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
The Elanto vineyard – at Balnarring on the Mornington Peninsula – is 10.6 hectares of 11,111 vines each hectare, which equates to a vineyard made up of 117, 777 individual vines. This is the second release of a chardonnay from this remarkable vineyard. It’s made by Sandro Mosele. 85% of this release went through malo where very little of the 2023 release did.
This is seriously good. The intensity of fruit is the thing, and the associated length, though there’s a keen textural element and just plenty of wow factor besides. Yellow peach, citrus, nougat, honeycomb and lemon blossom notes charge thoughout. There’s a lot of fruit, a deal of acidity, and a sizeable serve of oak, but all work together and all feel commanding. Drink 2027-2032+

Rich, supple and expansive with a long peacock’s tail like finish.
Elanto Vineyard is fast becoming one of the most compelling projects on the Mornington Peninsula. Established in 2018 by Elizabeth and Tony Todaro with Sandro Mosele at the helm, the 10.6-hectare Balnarring site is planted at an extraordinary density over 11,000 vines per hectare, four times the regional norm. Yields are kept to just 300-500g per vine, resulting in small, concentrated bunches that carry the depth and power Sandro has long championed. Volcanic red soils, southeast exposure, and the cooling influence of Western Port Bay provide the setting, while meticulous organic farming and uncompromising vineyard detail push the wines into rare territory.
The five Pinot Noir vineyards, Vertex, Ironstone, Chicory, Kilnside, and Basalt, span 6.7 hectares on the upper slopes with basalt-rich soils. The red volcanic soils transition to shallower, stonier terrain mid-slope, producing lower yields, concentrated flavors, and a distinct tannin profile. Each vineyard was harvested and vinified separately, with chilled, destemmed fruit (3-5% whole bunches) undergoing cold soak and natural fermentation in concrete vats. After 25-30 days on skins, the wine was pressed and aged in a mix of new and older French oak barriques for 11 months before blending and bottling.
Dark red core with black toned edges and a red to dark red hue. Perfumed aromas of violet, dark cherry, strawberry and anise soar from the glass trailed by some spicy cedar, forest floor, subtle dried herb and brambly rhubarb like notes. Rich, supplely textured dark cherry, strawberry and anise flavours expand across the palate with a peacock’s tail like power wave. Spicy cedar, rhubarb, forest floor, delicate infusions of dried herbs and bramble are spread across the back half. Seamlessly integrated, velvet smooth tannins and fresh underlying acidity. Finishes super seductive and very long.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

What a beguiling wine – only the second release and showing complexity far beyond its years. It’s certainly youthful and pretty with heady aromas of florals and autumn leaves with flavours of wild strawberries, dark cherries and pips, chinotto, Middle Eastern spices and some poached rhubarb, too. The medium-bodied palate is evenly poised, laden with filigree tannins (lots of them) and energising acidity; oak (25% new) completely integrated. This has depth, some grip, a little amaro bitterness on the finish and, of utmost importance, it will age but it’s oh-so pleasing to drink today. Drink by 2036.

Jane Faulkner – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
The intensity of fruit here is fantastic, as is the length of the finish, as is the tannin profile. This wine is out of the ordinary on these matters alone. It tastes of stewed red and black cherries, peppercorns, cedar and undergrowth, the dry crackle of the finish – yet sluiced with fruit – one for the ages. The slightest degree of warmth is my only hesitation; in all other respects this is superb. Drink 2026-2033+

Following Suntory's lead, Nikka has discontinued its lines of extra-aged whiskies, with some reports that the shortage could last up to a decade before the taps are turned back on.
Nikka's range of blended, pure malt and single malt whiskies will be exciting new discoveries for any Whisky enthusiast. This 21 Year Old bottling is dedicated to the Father of the Japanese Whisky Industry, Masataka Taketsuru.
The tale of Masataka Taketsuru's life is of the same fabric legends are made of. Sent in 1918 as a young apprentice to Scotland by his Japanese employers to crack the secrets of whisky, he not only came back with that knowledge but also with Rita Taketsuru (nee Cowan), who went on playing a decisive role in the development of the Japanese Whisky industry. Thanks to her connection to Japanese high society, Masataka was able to finance the company that is now known as Nikka Whisky.This blend of malts is from the two Nikka distilleries, Yoichi and Miyagikyo.

Other Reviews…..
A mild season, again, and an elegant RSW, though still bristling with dark berries and plum, with some blue fruit echoes. Black tea, dried violet, some dried olive, dark panforte and amaro, licorice powder, old leather and tar. There’s an appealing savouriness to this, and a weight that sits below the fuller side of things, the detail clearly rendered, the tannic architecture resolute but not strident. It’s a very good release. Drink by 2038.

Marcus Ellis – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion

The fruit for this outstanding Shiraz comes from four blocks, three of which are Wirra’s biodynamic Sandhill Vineyard. The fourth comes from Blewitt Springs, adding an important element from this great Shiraz sub-region. All blocks were treated separately, open fermented with some whole bunch use, and left for extended time on skins, contributing to the seamless integration of the wine. It shows a high degree of elegance within its stylish frame, with deeply concentrated red fruits, subtle peppery notes, and beautifully integrated tannins completing an impressive wine. Drink 2025-2040.

Ray Jordan – WinePilot.com

The 2022 Shiraz RSW is a sturdy rendition of this label, packed tight with dense fruit and surprising structure. It offers tight, brooding and focused aromas of dark earth, blackberry, spice and dried herbs. That savory theme continues thanks to a firm meaty core of flavor and robust gravelly tannins. The 2022 is impressive and built to last. Drink 2030-2044.

Rich, silky and plush, unfolding across the expansive medium to full bodied palate are dark plum, liquorice, blackberry and dark chocolate flavours. Vanillin cedar, subtle earthy mocha and spice characters seamlessly integrate into the background. Understated in its power and opulently textured, it has velvet smooth tannins and a long classy finish that shows great refinement and polish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

It's perfumed on the nose, showing blackberry, game, pepper spice, vanilla and assorted nut aromas. The palate delivers terrific weight and fleshy texture, superbly supported by fine, polished tannins, finishing robust yet silky with refinement and harmony. At its best: now to 2036.

2024 Wantirna Estate Isabella Chardonnay

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
Reduced from $110.00
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 14%

Closure: Stelvin

2025 marks 62 years since the first vines were planted at Wantirna Estate, established in 1963 on an east-facing slope in Melbourne's southeastern outskirts. Once a mix of orchards, bush, and grasslands, the vineyard thrives today under the care of Maryann, Reg's daughter, though Reg remains actively involved. The wines, named after his four grandchildren, feature labels illustrated by Michael Leunig, reflecting each grandchild's personality, a heartfelt touch to this family-run estate.
Chardonnay vines, over 40 years old, grow on an east-facing slope that captures gentle morning and afternoon sunlight, ideal for producing high-quality fruit. Hand-harvested early in the day, the fruit is pressed, chilled, and fermented in French oak barrels (new, one, and two years old) in a cool underground cellar. The wine matures on yeast lees with regular stirring to enhance texture and is bottled after 11 months.
Other Reviews....
This is always a complex and beautifully crafted wine. On the nose you'll find aromas of white peach, just-ripened apricot, crushed stone and a little praline. On the palate, I really like the interplay between the wine's flavour and texture and the fine thread of acidity, giving the wine both structure and length. It's good now but will be even better in four to six years, if not longer from now. Lovely wine. As good, if not better than, the '23. Just 85 dozen bottles made. Drink 2026-2032.

50-60 year old vines. 85 dozen made (1020 bottles) which is a better crop than the miserly 2023 vintage at 64 dozen (772 bottles).
It’s a richer expression in 2024 offering plenty of Chardonnay flavour, though it’s still bright and focussed. I’m thinking white nectarine and yellow peach, grapefruit, a little lemon zest and aniseed, almond meal, with spicy cedar oak in support. It has some gloss combined with intense acidity, a light chalkiness, feels concentrated and pulls a little toasty and savoury on a finish of excellent length, and a bit of lemon zest. Give it a year to settle I’d say. Very nice. Drink 2026-2033+.

The 2024 Isabella Chardonnay leads with crushed nuts and white flowers, lemon zest and brine. In the mouth, the wine is rich and full, nutty and wide, ripe and concentrated. I confess to preferring the Cabernets to the Chardonnay at this tremendous little estate; that being said, the distinctive style and identity of this wine is to be both noted and respected. It's a wonderful wine—honest and not interfered with. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2025-2034.

The vineyard's three distinct Pinot Noir blocks, covering just ten acres, are hand-harvested separately, often with up to two weeks between harvest dates. The mature block, with vines from the early 1970s, contributes savory tones and fine tannins. The Front block adds spice, while the Fruit Tree block offers generous fruitiness. Blended together, these components create the complex Pinot Noir style Wantirna Estate is renowned for.
Other Reviews....
A deep and brightly coloured crimson purple. Both to look at and smell, this is a concentrated and complex Wantirna pinot that's going to need some time. Aromas of black cherry, damson plum and dried red rose petals lead onto the palate, which is densely packed, structured and very long. Have it with food now, for sure, but those who still have some five to ten years from now will be very well rewarded. Drink 2026-2035.

I visited Wantirna Estate around this time last year, and didn’t taste any wine, rather we had tea and biscuits on the porch. Lovely. It’s a vineyard as a garden, if you take my meaning, The place has a sense of intimacy and it’s a world away from many larger producers. 130 dozen produced using very light weight bottles at that. Yay!
Raspberry, red cherry, mint, cedar, pencils and spice, something of a potpourri perfume too. It’s medium-bodied, all red fruits, a little spicy and autumnal, fresh raspberry crunch to acidity, with a firmness to tannin that offers grainy grip, finishing a little sappy with lively acidity, savoury flavours, and excellent length. Oak still shows a little too much as at now, but this is a strong release, and I like the ‘mineral’ character it offers too. Drink 2027-2034+.

The 2023 Lily Pinot Noir leads with cherry and cranberry, moss and tobacco, with layers of damp earth and exotic spice. This is beautiful. In the mouth, the wine is silky, with fine, pliable tannins that shape the course of the fruit across the tongue. The acidity is woven gently throughout and offers a delicacy and laciness that I find highly attractive. This is such a gorgeous wine. 13.6% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2025-2038.

2023 Wantirna Estate Amelia Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
Reduced from $110.00
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Stelvin

2025 marks 62 years since the first vines were planted at Wantirna Estate, established in 1963 on an east-facing slope in Melbourne's southeastern outskirts.

The wines, named after his four grandchildren, feature labels illustrated by Michael Leunig, reflecting each grandchild's personality, a heartfelt touch to this family-run estate.
Amelia Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot is crafted primarily from the original 1963 plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, with a smaller contribution from Petit Verdot vines planted in 1989. The blend typically consists of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot, though proportions vary yearly. The Petit Verdot, harvested last in mid-April, adds tannin and natural acidity.
Other Reviews....
A 45/45/10% cabernet sauvignon/merlot and cabernet franc/petit verdot blend with the majority coming off the original dry-grown 1963 plantings. A fabulous, bright crimson/purple. A touch riper and richer than the '22. There's a sumptuous core of dark fruits, violets, cedar and fresh pencil shavings on the nose. It's just as enticing on the perfectly pitched, medium bodied, elegant and very persistent palate. Everything is in place for a long and productive life! Drink 2025-2035.

44% Merlot/Cabernet Franc, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Petit Verdot.
Blackcurrant, raspberry, redcurrant, lots of pencils, a dusty spicy almost peppery top note, roast red capsicum, some menthol, violets too. It’s medium-bodied, very tight with cool glassy acidity, again those pencils and dark tobacco, a fine grainy grip to tannin, with a crunchy cranberry finish of excellent length. It’s a vintage where the Cabernet Franc perfume and brightness seems to ride quite high, and I like that sort of thing very much. And the pencils. I love pencils in my Cabernets. It’s finely-etched and classic in its Yarra Valley restraint. I reckon it’s tops. Drink 2028-2043+.

The 2023 Amelia Cabernet Sauvignon is leafy and spiced on the nose, with cassis and bramble, graphite and tobacco and delicate notes of cracked black pepper, pomegranate and cherry. This is floral and medium-bodied yet structured by tannins that feel eminently pulverized into the fruit—not a frame, rather a skeleton. I recently had the pleasure of a 1991 Cabernet Merlot from Wantirna Estate, and it was utterly fantastic. A perfect wine that moved into its apogee the following day. It was elegant, intense and incredibly fresh and a bitter disappointment to reach the end of the bottle. From that experience, one could surmise that the drinking window will span 30 or more years with ease. It is so pretty and unforced. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2025-2043.
