    2022 Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz
    Eden Valley, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
    $299. 00
    Bottle
    $3588.00 Dozen
    ABV: 14.5%
    Closure: Stelvin

    The Mount Edelstone Vineyard, established in 1912 by Ronald Angas, a descendant of George Fife Angas, features ancient 500-million-year-old geology that has resulted in deep red-brown clay-loam soils. These conditions lead to low yields from the dry-grown, ungrafted centenarian Shiraz vines. First bottled as a single-vineyard wine in 1952 by fourth-generation Cyril Henschke, Mount Edelstone has been crafted by the Henschke family for over 70 years and is considered one of Australia's premier single-vineyard Shiraz wines.

    An elegant wine of great finesse and poise that captures in an instant the very essence of this great vineyard. The nose shows a more savoury black olive and sage bush character that is lifted with an edgy pepperiness with a hint of bay leaf. It’s bright, lively, with almost boundless energy.. This is the modern Edelstone style in essence, captured magnificently. Has all the character with less opulence and more finesse. Love it. There is great brightness and energy with a luminosity that positively glows on the palate. Has traces of the vineyard dried herb and herbal characters with a sage bush infusion. A highly scented wine that captures the vineyard itself in full flower. The wine is impeccably balanced with the 110- year-old vines delivering fruit of tremendous concentration and intensity harness with a fine acidity and tannin contribution, with a combination of 8% new and 92% season French oak hogsheads holding it for 20 months. The vineyard itself is managed with a combination of organic and biodynamic practices. Drink 2026-2066.

    The 70th-anniversary release of this much-loved and iconic Australian wine. A hail event reduced yields somewhat, with perfect instances of summer rainfall and a mild, drawn-out finish to the growing season. The end result was an exceptionally strong vintage. Bright magenta crimson with aromas of pure plum, blackberry and black cherry and a flash of blue fruits over sage, peppercorn, rosehip, mace, bay leaf, crushed stone, herb garden, gentle cedar tones, milk chocolate, pan juices and, further back, tobacco and crushed rocks. Beautifully balanced on the palate, showing a graceful arc of travel, the fine tannins melting away into the fruit. The finish stretches out persistently, all detail and elegance. Drink 2026-2056.

    There’s a cool aromatic freshness to this vintage of Mount Edelstone. It’s a lifted wine. Roasted nut characters weave through florals and fruit. This wine is in impeccable shape. It’s all boysenberries and plums and sweet spices and sage and crushed this and that. You see some raw oak at this early stage but even so it’s beautifully integrated. Fruit here is pristine. Brightness is beautiful. My notes say that this 2022 is “as good as the 2005 and 2006 releases, and in a similar mould.” The 2005 and 2006 releases are stand-outs so this wine is right up there. It’s bright, beautiful, elegant and finessed. It feels complete. Drink 2030 - 2050+.

    The 2022 Mount Edelstone Vineyard Shiraz is bright, supple, spicy, savory and sweet. It is complex and shapely, persistent and delicate, with notes of bay leaf, raspberry seed, tapenade, wet moss and brine. This is a beautiful wine, and one of the most lovely Mount Edelstone Vineyard Shirazes I have tasted on release. I love the wines from the 2022 vintage; it may forever live in the shadow of the great 2021 vintage that came before it, but not in my heart. It has a pH of 3.43, 5.8 grams per liter of total acidity and 14.5% alcohol. Drink 2026-2062.

    The 2022 Shiraz Mount Edelstone, matured in only 8% new oak, presents pristine aromas of fruit pastille, licorice, raspberry and clove with undertones of savoury beef stock. This shows outstanding volume of flavour with spice tones, good acidity and mouth-coating tannins. A final influx of savoury earthy tones supports the strong, sustained finish, marking this as a great vintage. Drink 2040-2066.

    The vineyard triumphs yet again, with the 2022 vintage showing distinctive savoury Eden Valley character wrapped in lean, sinewy muscle. An especially complex nose shows pretty violets over darkest blackberry framed in fresh sage and bay leaf. Good winter rains and a strong fruit set followed by a long ripening season and late harvest has ensured strong acid retention, promoting a silky slide through plush primary fruits filling the mid-palate. Despite its generosity, the seamless integration of its components results in elevated elegance. It finishes with a grand climax of tobacco, cedar and cracked black pepper notes, tightly wound around sturdy tannins that will promote long cellaring. Drink 2027-2060.

    This is the 70th release of this wine, made every year since 1952 from a single vineyard planted in 1912. The nose gives a savory, earth-driven feel with notes of crushed stones and red brick, layered with red and black cherries, plum, pomegranate, orange peel, dried flowers and spice. The palate is full of structure and concentration of fruit, cut through with silken yet firm tannins and bright acidity. Give it some time but delicious now. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

    2022 Henschke Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon
    Eden Valley, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
    $199. 00
    Bottle
    $2388.00 Dozen
    ABV: 14.5%
    Closure: Stelvin

    Named in honour of fourth-generation winemaker Cyril Henschke (1924–1979), this Eden Valley Cabernet Sauvignon pays tribute to one of Australia's most visionary pioneers of varietal and single-vineyard wines. First bottled in 1978, it comes from vines Cyril planted in the late 1960s; Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot on a north-facing slope, now farmed with organic and biodynamic practices. Renowned for its texture, depth, and fine-grained tannins, this wine represents the enduring legacy of the Henschke family and their dedication to quality and place.

    Other Reviews...
    There is a very strong case that this might be the best Cyril yet released. It was first produced as a single vineyard wine back in 1978 from vines planted in 1969. From the 1990s, it’s been coming from Stephen and Prue’s vineyard planted in 1988. In many ways, this marks a slightly different direction for the Cyril, although the essential D stylistic varietal expression remains strong. It’s a firm and slightly tighter wine of terrific linear structure with a bright, lively acidity, which in this vintage is particularly evident. The thread of blackcurrant fruit merges with a slightly dried herb and sage-like character. It is probably the most precisely focused of any Cyril to date, leading to its poise and defined, detailed finish. Surprisingly, in some ways, it gets just a 5% smidgeon of new oak with the remainder seasoned. So you are getting a clear window into the vineyard and the vintage influence. Drink 2026-2061.

    100% cabernet sauvignon matured in French oak hogsheads (5% new) for 20 months. Lifted blackberry, black cherry and blackcurrant fruits with hints of olive tapenade, cedar, crushed herbs, bay leaf, violets and crushed rocks. Harmonious and silky in its travel with a core of ripe fruit layered with spice and herbs, fine, sandy tannins and a finish that draws out beautifully. No problem tucking this away in the cellar for an extended period. Drink 2026-2036.

    Dave Brookes - James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion

    I love how distinctly this wine tastes of cabernet. It’s fresh and boysenberried with redcurrant, blackcurrant, bay leaf, mint and tobacco notes running enthusiastically throughout. It feels ultra young, almost nervy, and includes a green-olive-soaked-in-tonic-water kind of character – I’m tempted to use the word minerally – though it’s all sluiced with cleansing acidity and long, firm-but-silken tannin. There’s ample depth on offer here, and the structure to go with it, but there’s also freshness and energy. It’s terrifically good. Drink 2029 - 2040+.

    The 2022 Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon leads with spicy red fruit, dusty baking spices and layers of dried herbs, akin to bay leaf and oregano. The tannins here are profuse yet very fine. It feels leafy and earthy, medium-bodied and fresh. I appreciate the varietal definition and delicacy here. The cooler vintage that was 2022 has birthed a tranche of wines of great delicacy and "fluffiness"/freshness. They are wonderful wines—I like the vintage so much. Drink 2026-2047.

    The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Cyril Henschke is a savory expression, with black olive, clay and cedar aromas in a notable oak frame. The 2022 is sturdy, young and muscular with gravelly flavours, a touch of dried herbs and chewy tannins. This is a highly ageworthy vintage with brooding, understated power and a long, sustained finish. Cellar this well for best results. Drink 2035-2055.

    2022 Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz
    Eden Valley, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
    $1099. 00
    Bottle
    $13188.00 Dozen
    ABV: 14.5%
    Closure: Stelvin

    Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz has deep historical roots, dating back over 180 years when Johann Christian Henschke settled in the Eden Valley. The renowned Hill of Grace vineyard, planted around 1860 by ancestor Nicolaus Stanitzki, features rich alluvial soil ideal for dry-grown vines. These ancient vines, now around 160 years old, along with Centenarians, Survivors, and Old Vines, form the backbone of this distinguished single-vineyard wine. The vineyard lies at an altitude of 400m, receiving an average rainfall of 520mm, and is named after a Silesian region known as Gnadenberg or ‘Hill of Grace’. Cyril Henschke first produced a single-vineyard Shiraz from these vines in 1958, using traditional methods, and the vineyard's historic significance continues to be celebrated.

    Other Reviews...
    May well be the prettiest Hill of Grace yet released. May also be the best, and that’s saying something. I thought 2021 was the greatest yet, then came 2022. Doesn’t have the raw power and luxurious opulence of the ’21, yet this might be a case of less is more. The depth and intensity of fruit that comes from vines that were planted in the 1860s is undeniable, but it’s all harnessed and focused into an effortless, long, and most graceful structure. There’s a distinct combination of black olive and bay leaf with a lift of sage bush. The palate is immensely powerful and intense with a focused concentration of fruit. As it opens up, other sweet fruit characters emerge. There’s a little seaweed and subtle fish oil-like characters. Perfumed and floral with blackberry and blueberry notes. It’s still relatively tight with fine-grained tannins. There is almost no new oak in the 100% seasoned French oak hogsheads, where it spent 20 months. Drink 2026-2071.

    Arriving in the wake of the esteemed 2021 vintage, the 2022 Hill of Grace is another proud, forthright wine that deserves the highest praise. Familiar touchstones are in place; a pleasing herbal lift of wild sage adding vital freshness to a rich berry aroma piqued with a pinch of lively Chinese five-spice. Fine-grained tannins promote a velvety texture that slides through a plush and extensively long middle-palate laced with intense blackberry. It drives with power and purpose into a deep, focused back-palate. The structure supports countless layers of complexity that show curious facets and subtle nuances (rich red earth, truffle, violets, cassis, wlld raspberry) and insists that you keep looking longer and longer. Drink 2028-2060.

    Australia's finest and most famous single-site shiraz. Incredible ancestor vines of 160 years of age are the heart of the wine, with additions of centenarian (100-plus years), survivor (70-plus years) and old-vine (35-plus years) shiraz; matured in seasoned French oak for 20 months. It's the aromatic detail, texture and elegance that immediately stands out with the Hill of Grace. Pure satsuma plum, blackberry and black cherry fruits with hints of bay leaf, mace, sage, Chinese five-spice, panforte, cedar, tapenade, black pepper, pan juices, graphite, dried meats and purple floral tones. The amplitude of this wine always amazes me. Everything just resonates perfectly; fruit, tannin and acidity are all in harmony and the arc across the palate is perfectly timed. Stunning. Drink 2026-2066.

    “Hill of Grace is produced from pre-phylloxera (vine) material brought from Europe in the mid-1800s. The original vines were planted around 1860 by ancestor Nicolaus Stanitzki, in rich alluvial soil in a shallow fertile valley just north-west of the Henschke family winery.” 2022 was a modest crop; production is just over half of what was produced from 2021.
    Magical wine. Intense, boysenberry and saturated plums, sweet spice and peppercorns, a long swagger of almost-grainy tannin, a lot of muscle and flex but a lot of perfume and ripe/sweet berry flavour too. The fruit here, almost musky, pushes deep and long through the palate, a parade of flavours draped and flying in its wake. This will cellar for decades. This is a ripper. It’s bold and fresh and aromatic and screen-printed with tannin. I can barely imagine a more perfect Hill of Grace Shiraz. Drink 2030 - 2045+.

    The 2022 Hill of Grace Shiraz leads with dark fruit and an abundance of exotic spice to match. The tannins are profuse here, quite distinct from the Hill of Roses tasted alongside. Star anise, cloves, cinnamon (cassia), fennel seeds and Sichuan pepper weave in and out of the blackberry, blueberry, crushed quartz/ferrous undertones. There's a sweet rolling-tobacco character that is highly attractive and lingers through the finish. I love the 2022 vintage. It is fresh and detailed. It may forever live in the shadow of the great 2021 vintage, but not for me—I believe firmly this is a sleeper vintage and will reveal its longevity given time. The allure of it now is not in question, either. Drink 2026-2072.

    The 2022 Shiraz Hill of Grace is seductive and inviting but has the integrity and structure to age beautifully. It opens with fragrances of wood smoke, dried herbs and rubbed sage against a backdrop of fleshy blackberry and subtle toasted spices. A wall of tannin on the entry slowly breaks down to reveal complex, savoury layers of flavour. The finish is lengthy and sustained but tight. Perfect tension and structure make this a great vintage for Hill of Grace. Drink 2045-2070.

    2023 Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon

    $149. 99

    $1799.88 Dozen
    ABV: 14%
    Closure: Stelvin

    As a founding estate of Margaret River, Moss Wood has spent over half a century defining the standard for world-class, elegant Cabernet Sauvignon from the prestigious Wilyabrup sub-region. The 2023 vintage arrives as a landmark release, capturing the signature precision and poise of the estate in a growing season widely regarded as one of the finest in the region's history.

    Other Reviews...
    No doubt many winelovers have been eagerly awaiting this wine, one of the last of Margaret River’s big guns from the stunning 2023 vintage. This brilliant Cabernet saw all parcels harvested fermented separately in small open fermenters. Maturation was in French oak barriques, 15% new. The final blend included 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. Deep maroon with a magenta edge, there is such power and finesse in this wine. Balance, length and structure are all world class. A take-me-now-Lord wine if ever there was one. The great 2023 vintage strikes again. Is this the best wine Moss Wood has ever made? It certainly must come very close. The nose reveals aromas of cassis, mulberries, plums, charcuterie, cigar boxes and blackberries. The structure is seamless through to the silkiest of tannins. There is great length and persistence here and the balance is knife-edge. If you doubt me as to the brilliant quality of this wine, please see if you can find a wine from Bordeaux at this price which comes close to this quality. Then we’ll talk. This is just a cracker. Thirty years standing on its head. Drink 2026-2056.

    Blueberry, mulberry, hazelnut and nutmeg, assorted spice, some aniseed and cedar, a floral and tea-like perfume. It’s a quieter release of this wine, less thunder, more finesse, a juicy and nutty character, praline and even a suggestion of red fruits. There’s a fine ferrous grip to tannin, a supple feel to it, all in balance, and the finish is so long and fine. Lovely. It’ll be worth the wait. Drink 2029-2048+.

    I've been waiting for this wine to be released for some time. I had great expectation that this wonderful vineyard from this exceptional vintage would produce something equally exceptional. Well, guess what? It has. This is such a beautiful example of what Moss Wood cabernet is all about. There's nothing big and brutish here. This is elegance. This is precision. This is brilliance. High-end florals on the nose with traces of violet, red currant, and then on the palate, that beautiful, restrained suppleness that deceived so many people in the early years of Moss Wood reveals itself, and yet as always, there's a deep and lingering intensity that persists through to an exceptionally long finish. This is simply stunning. I do not believe there has been a better Moss Wood.

    The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon is powerful and layered, with a long finish. The tannins are firm, abundant and tightly knit, and they wrap around a core of dark fruit. As the wine sits in the glass longer, the tannins begin to soften and gain suppleness, allowing the fruit and other elements to harmonize further. As this happens, the beauty of the vintage begins to shine through, revealing freshness, energy, balance and drive in equal measure. This is a superb wine, and given all the elements here, it will age wonderfully too. It isn't dense or brooding like some of the other vintages have been; this has detail, life and energy. It is really excellent. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2026-2056.

    A rich, plush Barossa Shiraz that possesses terrific density and concentration.

    A blend of Barossa Valley (70%) and Eden Valley (30%) fruit, the Barossa Valley contributes plushness and concentration whilst the Eden Valley component brings elegance and structure to the blend. The average age of vines is 50 years old and maturation takes place in a mixture of new (25%) and seasoned French oak for a period of 18 months.
    Dense pitch black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Potent ripe blackberry, dark plum and liquorice scents engulf the nostrils followed by some dark chocolate, vanillin oak, subtle earthy mocha and spice notes. Rich and plush, the palate possesses terrific density and concentration with saturating dark plum, blackberry and liquorice fruit to the fore. Dark chocolate, spicy vanillin oak and earthy mocha elements lurk underneath. Deep and powerful it has velvet smooth tannins and a long, texturally voluminous finish.
    Drink over the next 6-8 years.

    The 2024 The Struie is from Barossa Valley (70%) and the balance Eden Valley. The blend composition changes year to year. This is silky and dark, velvety and intense in the mouth. I love the hedonistic way of this wine—it carries the alcohol and the weight with ease. While ripe and powerful, it feels effortless and polished. The blue fruit/graphite component contributed by the Eden Valley fruit is an important part of the way this wine tastes. 15.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork. Drink 2026-2039.

    Deep, dark red-purple colour with terrestrial aromas summning dry earth, terracotta, forest underbrush on a hot day, and chocolate. Full bodied and fleshy with loads of supple ripe tannins and smooth, supple texture. There's a subtle vegetable note that reminds us we are in Eden Valley for at least part of the wine—traces of sage and raspberry that are typical of the higher country. The wine has elegance and harmony aplenty.

    Light yet supple and rich with an enveloping flavour profile and long moreish finish.

    Aged for 5 months in French oak barriques and puncheons of which 10% were new. Dark red core with black toned edges and a red to dark red hue. Wonderfully perfumed nose with violet, dark cherry, strawberry and anise aromas captivating the olfactory senses. Forest floor, bramble and spicy dried herb notes ensue. Light yet supple and rich, enveloping red to dark cherry, strawberry and subtle anise flavours are layered across the palate. Notions of dried herbs, forest floor and spicy cedar lend further interest. Displaying excellent power, it has velvet smooth tannins, fresh underlying acidity and a long moreish finish.

    A striking release for its depth, finesse, savoury elements, spice and woody, autumnal characters. All bundled up so well, too. Dark cherry, dried leaves, bay leaf, game meat, pepper and clove, aniseed and fennel. Yes thanks. It sits at medium to fuller weight on the palate but delivers massively satisfying freshness after the generous slosh of the wine. So, too, a web of silty tannins makes for shape and length. Seriously good. Drink by 2032.

    Hendrick's Another Gin (700ml)
    SCOTLAND
    $84. 99
    Bottle
    $1019.88 Dozen
    ABV: 41.4%

    Another Hendrick’s Gin is a new permanent expression from Master Distiller Lesley Gracie, featuring the signature rose and cucumber base enhanced by bright orange blossom and rich, velvety cacao. Housed in a distinctive white bottle at  ABV, it offers a "different side" to the original, with notes of bright citrus and smooth, indulgent cacao. Recommended with premium tonic or in an elderflower & soda mix, garnished with an orange twist. 41.4% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Another Hendrick’s, like all of the brand’s variants, starts out as original Hendrick’s, meaning that rose and cucumber are featured prominently among a total of 11 other botanicals that include coriander, elderflower, and, of course, juniper. The gin is distilled on two different types of stills—Bennett and Carter-Head—allowing Gracie to produce unique distillates made by either steeping or steaming the dried botanicals, with the essence of rose and cucumber added at the end. For Another Hendrick’s, she created an extract of cacao beans and used the essential oils from the orange blossoms, both of which were infused into the spirit. The result is a gin that is still very much identifiable as Hendrick’s (although the bottle is white instead of the traditional black glass the brand uses), but it has a prominent burst of subtle orange and chocolate flavors, making this a great cocktail option that is also worth tasting on its own. - robbreport.com

    ...A fair critique might be, as many of the other recent Hendrick’s releases, that it’s too contemporary. Another Hendrick’s pushes the boundaries of the category— but it doesn’t forget its roots. There’s a ton of juniper here so gin fans will know for sure, it is a gin. - theginisin.com

    ABV: 47%

    Mezcal de pechuga (pechuga translates to ‘breast’ in Spanish) is made when a finished mezcal is redistilled with local fruits, grains and nuts, and a raw piece of protein (typically a chicken) is hung over the still, cooking in the emanating vapors. Traditionally, this is a style of mezcal produced for special occasions and consumed locally—there are as many different versions as there are distilleries. QQRQ’s stunning, vegetarian-friendly recipe trades the poultry for a homemade mole paste. This paste is made to a traditional recipe by the Méndez family in Santiago Matatlán and includes chile Guajillo, chile Ancho, sesame seeds, almonds, peanuts, garlic, onion, raisins, bananas and cacao. It’s thought to be the first commercial release of its kind.

    Carlos Méndez uses the QQRQ Espadin agave as the base. Following the second distillation, the mole paste is added and the spirit is rested to infuse for two weeks before a final, third distillation. 47% Alc./Vol.

    Talisker 10 Year Old Gift Pack with Glass Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Isle of Skye, SCOTLAND
    $109. 99
    Bottle
    $1319.88 Dozen
    ABV: 45.8%

    Comes with a bonus branded Talisker tumbler.

    'The lava of the Cuillins' - that's how Talisker, the Golden Spirit of Skye was described by one poetic taster: the only single malt from a spectacularly beautiful island of wild moorlands and dramatic mountain peaks known as the Cuillins. Built in Carbost in 1831 near 'Talisker House', the distillery has entertained such personalities as Boswell & Johnson. Another celebrity who enjoyed his Talisker was author, Robert Louis Stevenson, describing it in 1880 as 'king 'o' drinks'. Stevenson rightly recognised it as bearing similarities to both the Glenlivet and Islay malts. However, by taking 'the best of both worlds' so to speak, it achieved a unique style. In 1892 Roderick Kemp, a part owner sold his share to establish the now-immortal Macallan. Talisker has continued strong since under the ownership of Diageo. An individual malt that remains an island classic, Talisker invariably offers a great sniff. At ten years old, the aromas are pungent-yet-fresh with Islay-like seaweedy smokiness and sweet fruity malt. There's a bold maritime influence on the palate too, perfectly complemented by a spicy, very peppery lingering finish. A little honey threads its way through the beautifully balanced spirit. Not harsh but warming. Always satisfying to re-discover this West Highland gem. 45.8% Alc./Vol.

    A quite stupendous malt to be enjoyed at any time. But especially at night. - 93 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2019

    ...Another that should need no introduction. The thing to look for in Talisker, as with all smoky whiskies, is sweetness that gives the requisite balance to the drying effect of smoke. Underneath Talisker’s smoke, which ain't as all-pervading as Lagavulin, is a sweet pear-like quality. When young there are notes of the land: heather, moor, sweet seaweed, and a finish that has a distinctive cracked black pepper hit. 90 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Dave Broom (Summer 2012)

     Nose: A razor-sharp spiciness lances through Demerara sweetness and rich peat. Absolutely magnificent. Palate: The enormous build up of spice adds to the multi-layered peat. The sweetness is almost like freshly crushed grist. Wave upon wave, layer upon layer of complexity. Finish: Massively warming and still spicy. The peat lingers while the spice bristles. Comment: A dram to be savoured and celebrated. Rating: 95  - www.whiskymag.com

    Pinhook 5 Year Old Single Barrel Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) - Whiskey Hunt Australia Selection
    Kentucky, UNITED STATES
    $169. 99
    Bottle
    $2039.88 Dozen
    ABV: 57.5%

    "Pinhook" is an old term for buying young horses and seeing them through to racing maturity. The whiskey project bearing the same name was founded in 2011, originally sourcing liquid from MGP in Indiana to mature in Kentucky. Pinhook has since moved onto distilling their own whiskeys at the once abandoned and now restored Old Taylor Distillery. To find this cask, Whiskey Hunt Australia visited one of the longest rickhouses in the country (163m, holding up to 35,000 barrels). It's a 5-year-old, described as a "bright style, without the heavy-handed oak or sweetness you sometimes see at this age". It's also the first ever Pinhook Australian exclusive. Not quite your 'classic' Kentucky profile (which would be heavier on vanilla and caramel), rather, the palate falls on the drier side, the initial pass offering muted notes of dry orange zest, light peachy fruitiness and a little cherry chocolate. Delicate oils go some way to amplifying the mouthfeel, with subtle restraining tannins and a kick of wood spice sealing the elegant finish. The length and balance improve after extended air contact. Tasted blind, without water, you might mistake it for a young, burgeoning, bourbon-casked single malt. 210 bottles from barrel #3174 have been imported at a natural strength of 57.5% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

    Notes from the importers... Nose: Orange zest, leather, oak, cloves. Palate: Fresh oak, jaffa cake, cooked cloves on the front, fresh cloves on the back. Finish: Long, coating, and dangerously easy to go back to. Summary: Incredibly well balanced with surprisingly little heat for the ABV. This is cask strength bourbon you can actually sit on.

    Intensely flavoured, energetic and bursting with succulence, this is a sublime example of Heathcote Grenache.

    Established in 1955 by former Czech vigneron Paul Osicka, this is Heathcote’s oldest producer, 2025 marks the 70th anniversary of the vineyard's planting. The 2025 vintage is considered outstanding for Heathcote ranked alongside other great years such as 2010, 2015 & 2022 all characterised by consistently warm weather without hot days.
    Dark red core with black tinged edges and a red to dark red hue. Fragrant red to dark raspberry, liquorice and ripe cherry scents flow out of the glass with splendid intensity. Fresh herb, delicate scorched earth and pepper notes ensue. Rich, intensely flavoured and super juicy yet relatively light on its feet, the mid weighted palate is swamped with dark raspberry, red liquorice and cherry fruits. Vanillin spice, subtle earth and pepper elements lurk underneath. Boasting magnificent power, it has polished yet structured tannins which impart a subtle muscularity to the mouth feel. Wonderfully fresh and bursting with succulence, it finishes with impressive length and energy.
    Drink over the next 5-6 years.

    Timing is everything, and grenache has timed its run in Heathcote to perfection, bringing a vivacious, lively addition to the region's red wine stable. Bright, super fresh in acidity, with lithe tannins and an underlying current that runs deep in fruit flavour. Juicy red cherries, plum and blue fruits with dried herbs, red licorice, gentle spices and earth. Delivers an impressive grenache experience. Drink by 2033.

    Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $199. 99
    Bottle
    $2399.88 Dozen
    ABV: 53.6%

    An intriguing experiment that saw a final three years in Vino de Naranja Orange fortified wine casks from Spain. This must have been one feisty spirit when it went into barrel. For a 17 year old, even at high strength, you'd expect more composure. The nose opens with semi-ripe apricots, dilute honey and a warm gingery feel. On the palate, ginger snaps, peel-heavy marmalade, honey and spice evoke a contemporary oloroso sherry-like character. Orange cake and warming oak linger in a bittersweet finish. The balance improves after ample air contact, however taming the attack with water will be essential for many. 7000 bottles are on offer globally. Sold out at the distillery website. 53.6% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

    Other reviews... A very good whisky that has won me over. Whether I would ultimately need a whole bottle of it is another matter... Initially, it has a very robust character, and the alcohol is quite noticeable. For a 17-year-old whisky, that's rather surprising in my opinion. On the fruity side, I primarily detect overripe tangerines. With water, the alcohol note noticeably diminishes, and woody notes become more prominent. At the same time, the fruitiness decreases somewhat. Thus, the whisky both gains and loses something with water. The orange flavor is most pronounced in the finish. In addition, pleasant, full-milk aromas emerge in the medium to long finish. - whiskybase.com

    Bottled under Diam, this wine is a wonderful example of just how far quality winemaking has come in recent decades. A while back, a Côtes-du-Rhône Villages would have been little more than a cheap quaffer. These days, there are some seriously good, enjoyable and attractive wines emerging from the appellation. A vibrant crimson/red hue, the colour is a bit reminiscent of a good, near-raw steak. The nose reveals notes of florals, cranberries, bay leaves, warm earth, dried herbs and coffee beans. The wine is of medium length, finishing with fine tannins. The team attribute notes of violets to the Syrah and red fruits to the Grenache. Youthful and with good focus, it lingers pleasantly and should provide attractive drinking over the next six to seven years. Drink 2025-2032.

Deep, forest berry fruitiness, jammy and fresh, with dashes of cinnamon spice, rosemary herbal inflection, choc-licorice and riffs of pumice-stone–like tannin shaping it all into a crunch and chew.

There's a subtle vegetable note that reminds us we are in Eden Valley for at least part of the wine—traces of sage and raspberry that are typical of the higher country. The wine has elegance and harmony aplenty.

    Stagg Batch #24B Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)
    Kentucky, UNITED STATES
    $330. 00
    Bottle
    $3960.00 Dozen
    ABV: 63.9%

    Since Australia experienced price hikes in Buffalo Trace's Antique Collection, 'Stagg' (formerly known as Stagg Junior) is now generally considered the best buy in the distillery's portfolio. This batch has been talked up as a "return to form" according to some bloggers - whatever that means - as variation between batches is usually not that significant. Stagg 19 22B was the first edition with the new batch numbering system, where the batch details are displayed next to the proof on the label (e.g.- 22B = the second release of 2022). Hence, we can tell at a glance that this is the second release of 2024 (yes, it takes that long for these to get to Australia!) Rumoured to be matured for nearly a decade and bottled at 63.9% ABV with zero filtration, whichever batch you're lucky enough to secure, keep in mind that these high-octane Bourbons usually need taming with water, or at a minimum, we suggest letting your Stagg breathe in the glass to let it unravel and better appreciate its flavours.

    Other reviews... "The sweetness, dryness, and tannins are intricately weaved together, adding complexity, depth, balance, and an overall fabulous sipping experience. This, along with batch B22, is one of my favorite recent Stagg Jr’s." - Bourbon, Whiskey & Rye

    Notes from the producers... Nose: Cherry, fig, baked apples, sweet oak and leather. Taste: Cherry, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, hint of cocoa and black pepper. Finish: Long, sweet with mild spiciness.

    Boatrocker Spiced Rum (700ml)
    Victoria, AUSTRALIA
    $99. 99
    Bottle
    $1199.88 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

    Boatrocker has approached the spiced category with fresh eyes and a new world palate. After over three years in oak, one in French and two in ex-bourbon barrels, a variety of botanicals were macerated in the spirit, including mountain pepperberry, Peruvian coffee beans, smoked applewood & South American tonka beans to produce a unique and cinnamon-free updated take on the classic spiced rum. The bouquet pops with rum-soaked fruits, cocoa, lamingtons and light vanilla. The palate packs depth for a 40% spirit, laced with soft, plump, rum soaked cherry fruit cake, coconut rum balls and late hints of vanilla and Amaretto. It's smooth and creamy, sweet, but hardly overblown, and with a gingery warmth that will please traditionalists. Great new spiced rum. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Angostura No.1 Cask Collection 16 Year Old Rum (700ml)
    TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
    $270. 00
    Bottle
    $3240.00 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

    There are several expressions of Angostura No.1 in a series, each subject to a different wood regime and identified by 'editions'. This is the second, and comes aged in two types of used oak, initially x-Bourbon oak for ten years followed by six years in French oak, the latter reportedly held cognac. As such, it is the first-ever Angostura rum to be finished in French oak. The profile extends through nuts, dried fruits (dates, figs) and subtle floral notes. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... This special Angostura gift is a standout in every sense. I have tried and own most of the limited run Angostura rums but this is the stand out. The initial sip opens with a gentle, natural sweetness that is rich without being heavy, setting the tone for a beautifully balanced drink. Its smooth, polished character carries through the palate effortlessly, finishing clean and refined with no harsh edges. It’s my favourite go-to rum over a few cubes, consistently satisfying yet quietly exceptional. - rumratings.com

    ABV: 30%

    Inspired by the legendary dessert, tiramisu, this collaboration between Capitano and Boatrocker showcases its definitive flavours - coffee, chocolate and cream - along with Capitano’s addition of hand-roasted hazelnuts. Combined with traditional bittering agents such as gentian root and Turkish rhubarb, Boatrocker have created a novel amaro with a rich, creamy feel and a long, mouth coating finish. It's a fair departure from most Italian expressions, but it'll be a perfect partner to tiramisu, or simply enjoyed on its own at the end of a meal. 30% Alc./Vol.

    First released in 1993, this wine was renamed d'Arry's Original in honour of third generation family member Francis d'Arenberg Osborn, universally known as d'Arry, to honour his lifelong services to the wine industry.

    Decked out with succulent black fruits, this is a rich, concentrated and chewy textured blend that delivers terrific value.

    A blend of 50% Grenache and 50% Shiraz matured in a mixture of new and used French oak barriques for a period of approximately 20 months. Deep midnight black heart with a dark red black tinged hue. Black cherry, black raspberry and liquorice aromas emerge from the glass complimented by vanillin oak, whiffs of scorched earth and peppered fennel notes. Rich, concentrated and opulent, the weighty palate is flush with succulent black raspberry, black cherry and liquorice flavours which are backed by a robust tannin structure that’s somewhat concealed by the volume of fruit. Vanillin cedar, scorched earth and blackpepper elements lurk underneath. Finishes long and juicy with a chewy mouth feel.

    Yarra Yering remains one of Australia’s most revered wineries, seamlessly blending tradition with modern excellence. Under the guidance of winemaker Sarah Crowe, the estate continues to craft elegant, age-worthy wines that showcase the finesse of the Yarra Valley.

    Dry Red No. 1 is a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 15% Malbec, and 4% Petit Verdot. The Cabernet component underwent extended skin contact, including fermentation in a 3500L upright oak cask. Maturation lasts 15 months in French oak barriques, 35% of which were new.

    Other Reviews...
    A blend of 58/23/15/4% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/malbec/petit verdot, the cabernet coming from the original '69-planted vineyard. Matured in barrique (35% new). A deep, bright purple. Classic cool-climate cabernet aromas of black cherry, blackcurrants, cedar, licorice and subtle iodine. The palate is simultaneously concentrated, structured and refined, finishing with an ironstone minerality. Approachable now with food, but anyone who buys some will want to make sure they still have a bottle, or three, 10 to 15 years from now. Drink 2025-2040.

    Philip Rich - James Halliday's Wine Companion

    2023 was Sarah Crowe’s tenth vintage at the helm of Yarra Yering. I don’t have exact percentages but Dry Red No. 1 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
    If ever the word classic was apt, it’s here and now. This wine is polished, fresh and to an extent, fruit forward. And yet everything about it feels or tastes like old money. There’s just nothing earnest or try-hard about it. It’s a complex, lengthy, fluent cabernet with leaf matter and peppercorn characters strewn through redcurrant, musk, mint and red cherries. There’s a smidgen of blackcurrant here too but it doesn’t attempt to be dark or inky or anything like that. It’s more about medium-bodied charm. And charming it certainly is. Drink 2029 - 2039+.
