2025 Pewsey Vale Estate Single Vineyard Riesling

Eden Valley, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$22. 99
Bottle
$275.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2025-2033)

ABV: 11.5%

Closure: Stelvin

In 1839, shortly after his arrival from England, Joseph Gilbert started building a fine homestead in Eden Valley and planted the region’s first grapevines in 1847. Like so many vineyards in the 1920s and 30s, Pewsey Vale fell into disuse but, thankfully, its potential was rediscovered.
In 1961, pastoralist Geoffrey Angas Parsons became aware his property had once incorporated the region’s earliest vineyard and shared his discovery with good friend, and vigneron Wyndham Hill-Smith. Hill-Smith needed no further persuasion – work soon began on re-establishing Pewsey Vale Vineyard. Initially, 56 hectares of Riesling were planted in contoured rows. The several remaining hectares of these vines continue to provide fruit for The Contours Riesling. All plantings at Pewsey Vale Vineyard are propagated from the original 1847 vines.
Classic Pewsey Vale Riesling at the top of it’s game.
Brilliant very pale straw almost water like colour with green tinted edges. Intense lime, citrus and orange rind aromas jump out of the glass trailed by distinct chalky talc, green apple and mineral notes. Scrumptious lime and citrus fruits fill the mouth carrying with them plenty of textural volume. Crunchy acidity with orange rind, green apple, chalky talc and subtle steely mineral elements lining the back half. The finish, long and racy.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 11.5%
Other Reviews….
What a beautiful example of Eden Valley Riesling is this estate Pewsey Vale wine. The nose is intense lemon with a minerally bath salts character, while the palate has that lemon rind edginess, balancing the deeply intense, linear and focused fruit that emerges from this high-altitude block. It retains a degree of tension with a slightly talcy character, and the finish is long and fine. Excellent wine. Drink 2025-2037.

Ray Jordan – WinePilot.com

Riesling sourced from a single vineyard way up around 490m elevation in Pewsey Vale. Classic Eden Valley characters from woe to go. Fresh limes, Christmas lily, citrus blossom, crushed stone, lemongrass, Bickford's lime cordial and ozone. Dry, precise and thirst-slakingly good drinking. Super stuff; we all need a bottle of this close at hand when the weather warms up. Drink by 2040.

Dave Brookes - James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion

The 2025 Single Vineyard Estate Riesling is precise, esthery and aromatic, with notes of crushed shells, white flowers, pressed linen, white pear and green apple. In the mouth, the wine is persistent and smooth, with saline acidity that is woven throughout every aspect of the palate. This is a gorgeous wine, as ever. 11.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2025-2045.

$23. 99
Bottle
$287.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 3 Years (2025-2028)

ABV: 12.7%

Closure: Stelvin

Salmon pink tinged blush with tangy acidity and a dry, refreshing finish.
Salmon pink tinged colour. Nosing offers up aromas of pear, Jonathan apple and subtle quince followed by a delicate whiff of Turkish delight and spice. Making a well rounded entrance onto the palate are flavours of pear, red apple and quince. Tangy acidity with some blood orange and spice elements lingering underneath. Brimming with energy it has a dry, refreshing finish.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.

Other Reviews….
From two plots – one picked early with the later seeing more skin contact. A pale, bright cured salmon colour. Delicately perfumed with its aromas of red apple, cranberry, orange zest and a touch of rose petal. Mouth-filling and flavoursome, this finishes with a touch of tannin on the satisfying and long finish. You'd be hard pushed to find a better gris than this at the price. Drink by 2029.

Phillip Rich - James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
The best Pinot Gris in Australia is also the best value. That was the line that came to mind when I first tasted this wine. I’d have to go back through my records to see if this wine is actually my favourite Australian gris but fair to say a) that it’s right up there and b) that it’s an absolute ripper. All for 26 bucks. It has a copper-pink blush to its colour, it has genuine mouthfeel and/or texture, it delivers flavour in an easy-going way and yet it’s all straightened up by well-judged acidity. It also runs long through the finish. I don’t rave about gris too often. I’m raving about this one. I even suspect that it will be a better drink again in a year or two.

A little sash on the label annotates ‘Whole Bunch Fermented’, and so away we go.
A pretty pink-orange hue, delicate as a wine but with good grip and light chalky pucker. Rose water, rose hip tea, pomegranate juice and a big squish of red-skinned pear and light juniper berry notes. Delicious. It’s a distinctly textural wine but attractively cool and fine boned. An elevated expression from the variety in a restrained way. Drink 2025-2029.

Mike Bennie – The Wine Front
Floral and expressive, opening with lifted aromatics and a savory nuance. The palate is textural and rounded, supported by a balanced phenolic grip and a bright line of acidity, giving structure and a three-dimensional feel with a saline edge. Shows great nerve and personality, finishing with a copper tinge. Drink now. Screw top.

2007 Domaine Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$299. 00
Bottle
$3588.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product not pictured.

Other Reviews....
This is notably fresh and expressive for a young Clos de Vougeot with intensely earthy red and dark berry fruit aromas complementing extremely rich and full-bodied flavors that are quite ripe in the context of the 2007 vintage and very serious while offering good depth and length on the moderately austere and dusty finish. This is really quite good with ample character that should also reward 10 to 15 years of cellar time. Drink 2019+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound (2010)

Medium red. Reticent aromas of medicinal black cherry, redcurrant, menthol and nutty oak. Distinctly clenched today and dominated by its structure. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and little in the way of easy sweetness. With 48 hours in the recorked bottle, a strong note of licorice emerged. This will require at least five or six years of cellaring.

Nantou Distillery Omar Orange Brandy Barrel Finish Cask Strength Single Malt Taiwanese Whisky (700ml)

TAIWAN
$480. 00
Bottle
$5760.00 Dozen

ABV: 54%

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product not pictured.

Nantou Distillery’s Omar (stylised OMAR) single malts come from a long-standing Taiwanese winery turned craft distillery: the Nantou winery operation dates back to the late 1970s, and the distillery began producing single-malt spirit under the OMAR name in the late 2000s, blending traditional Scotch-style production with Taiwan’s tropical terroir and winemaking experience. This particular release is a cask-strength expression finished in orange-brandy barrels, a deliberately unusual finishing choice that layers concentrated citrus and brandy-liqueur character onto the distillery’s malt base and is presented as part of OMAR’s “cask strength/liqueur finish” series. Bottled at around mid-50s ABV and released in limited runs (several thousand bottles in the 2021/2022 releases), they are non chill-filtered, with natural colour. Expect a pronounced orange/mandarin brightness and an almost orange-syrup or marmalade sweetness underpinned by vanilla, biscuit malt, light baking spices and a touch of hazelnut or clay-like earth; the finish brings lingering candied citrus and syrupy brandy warmth.

Pear, white peach and dried honey aromas drift through the nostrils followed by some citrusy nougat and faint spicy cashew notes. Beautifully shaped, the mid weighted palate features fleshy white peach, pear and dried honey flavours over biscuity nougat, cashew and spice elements which stretch out across the back half.

Another excellent release from Marco Lubiana. Delicate, refined aromas of sliced lemons, crushed stones, flint, nectarines, white peaches and grapefruit. The palate is vibrant with racy acidity, the high-tension mouthfeel hinting at the underlying power that will unravel with time. The sky is the limit for this label. Drink or hold.

Derwent Valley. All estate fruit. All biodynamic. All good.
Soft and slippery, medium weight and energetic, minerally style of chardonnay. Crisp edges, plush core, stone fruit, ginger-lemon tea, a dash of white pepper, some nougat and vanilla cream gently settles in too. Finishes with fennel and a bit of peppery herbs. Good extension of flavour, excellent flow, very elegant as a comment. Excellent. Drink 2025-2033.

From newer plantings at the top of the estate vineyard.
Very spicy, savoury, juicy and quite dusty at the same time. Fine, lacy tannins shape things well. Dark cherry, crunchy red currants, toasty cinnamon, some bitter herbs and a touch of dark chocolate. Serious feeling wine, tense and firm; reserved and for the long term. Very good. Drink 2025-2033.

El Arquero Reposado Tequila (700ml)

Jalisco, MEXICO
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 38%

Adam Gilchrist played for Australia’s cricket team from 1996 to 2008 and is viewed as one of the greatest wicket-keeper-batsmen. Apart from his sporting career, he developed a fondness for premium Tequila. So much so, that he partnered with Destiladora de Los Altos (NOM 1412) to found his own brand (the distillery is well-known as the founders of Bacardi-owned Cazadores). Created from 100% Blue Weber agaves and rested five months in ex-American oak bourbon barrels, El Arquero's Reposado appeals to those looking for an easy-drinking tequila with a balance of vanilla, caramel and toasted oak flavours combined with the crisp notes of fresh agave. Good enough for sipping neat, or for creating refined cocktails. 38% Alc./Vol.

Tyrconnell Sherry Cask 10 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey (700ml)

Riverstown, Dundalk, IRELAND
$159. 99
Bottle
$1919.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

Located on the Cooley Peninsula in County Louth, Cooley is Ireland's only independent Irish owned distillery. Converted in 1987 from an older potato alcohol plant by John Teeling and other investors, Cooley only distils their whiskey twice, not three times, as is the norm for many other Irish producers. They employ two copper pot stills with large necks, which according to the distillery, increases the time it takes for spirits to pass through. The result is a 'more refined and milder' whiskey.
The Cooley Company has won over 300 medals since opening. Other awards they have received include "European Distiller of the Year" in 2008 and 2009 and "Distillery of the Year" in 2008 from the International Wine and Spirit Competition, and "Distillery of the Year" in 2010 from Malt Advocate magazine.
Once owned by the Watts family, the historic Tyrconnell label (named after a successful racehorse) was originally a best-selling brand in the United States before Prohibition. This 10 year old was finished for two years in sherry casks. The whiskey pours a bright gold with a pale straw hue. The aromas place it immediately in the sherry mould, yielding up pure and rich dried fruit notes accompanied by vanilla, Bounty bar and hints of cinnamon. There's more of the same on the palate with a medium dry flavour wave of vanilla, juicy dried fruits and a forgivable trace of sulphur. Turns to ginger biscuit and spice towards the finish which is vibrant and clean. A delightful sherry infusion that leaves the malt shining through. 46% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... On the nose there are warm, grassy tones wrapped in a blanket of sherry, apple, and sultanas, with a tickle of fine white pepper, lemongrass, scented balms, and poppy seed cake. In the mouth there is apple, cherry, and honey nougat, backed by richer sherry fruits. The flavor develops steadily, with late additions of pepper coinciding with a confluence of sweetness and sherry notes. Baked apple sweetness on the finish. 91 points - whiskyadvocate.com

Penelope Barrel Strength Four Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

UNITED STATES
$199. 99
Bottle
$2399.88 Dozen

ABV: 58.9%

Penelope's signature four-grain straight bourbon recipe resurfaces here - specifically, it's a mash bill of 75% corn, 15% wheat, 7% rye and 3% malted barley. Aged for four to six years in new American oak barrels, this delightfully bright, full bodied expression is bottled uncut. Because it's a batched release, ABVs will vary. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... Distilled in Indiana...this offers a bold, concentrated caramel tone that mingles with a hint of plum skin. A pleasant prickle of sweet spices—cinnamon, cardamom, clove, cayenne—lingers on the finish. 93 points - wineenthusiast.com
[Batch #4 tasted] The nose offers cherry, raspberry tart, dried orange slices, butterscotch, black pepper, and antique closet. The palate is powerful, with sweet syrup up front, bold flavors of herbs and spice, grain, dusty oak, and an earthy note of warehouse floor. More spice emerges with water, bringing semi-sweet chocolate, cooked raspberries, and leather. Creamy and well-balanced, with its spice tempered by deep chocolate, cooked cherries, and a musty yet interesting character. 90 points - whiskyadvocate.com
Notes from the producers... Aroma: Pecans, dried apricot, and hints of vanilla. Body: Carmel, toffee, leather and pecans with a hint of orange zest. Finish: White pepper, cinnamon, and brown sugar with lingering caramel.

InchDairnie Distillery KinGlassie RAW 8 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Fife, SCOTLAND
$184. 99
Bottle
$2219.88 Dozen

ABV: 46.3%

Avid Scotch-watchers may notice the packaging here looks very similar to RyeLaw (a single grain whisky made with Scottish-grown rye, launched in 2023). That's because they're from the same distillery. This marks one of two inaugural single malt releases, the other being a Double Matured 8 Year Old. KinGlassie Raw is expected to be an annual limited edition with a peated barley spec of 50ppm (the same as most Kilchoman, for example, and higher than most Islays). The distillery says this release has a "smouldering fireplace" quality. You certainly get the sweet peat character up front - of the mellow, sultry kind, infusing crisp baked apples and light vanillas. On the palate, the effect recalls some young Octomores. Peat never quite rises to the expectations of the phenol spec, nevertheless, the mouthfeel radiates the aura of a profound, end-of-the-night dram, abundant with oily, bitter dark chocolate complexities to roll around the tongue. 2025 batch tasted. Bottled unchill-filtered at 46.3% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Nose: Raw indeed, but not brash. The malt forward nature of the distillery’s new make is evident (husks and mash), accompanied by a pleasant sweetness (almost honey-esque), hints of silage, hessian and subtle lemon drizzle cake as well as granny smith. The smoky notes are more campfire-esque than coastal, let alone medicinal. Definitely some vanilla foam blocks as well. Taste: Mouthfeel, I don’t know. Slightly underwhelming initially, but water unlocks a pleasant creaminess. This is malty with a hint of sponge cake, then also moderately ashy, somewhat brackish and with a touch of red apple. Also smoked citrus fruits, and there’s a pinch of pepper in the background. Finish: Medium length. A tad dry while sweet malty notes linger, as well hints as smoked husks. This whisky speaks to the confidence InchDairnie has in its spirit. Almost as if they went looking for the least inactive casks in their warehouses. A good nosing whisky that could do with some more complexity on the palate, but certainly a quality malt overall. - wordsofwhisky.com

Penelope Four Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

UNITED STATES
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Penelope is relatively new on the Bourbon landscape, having been created in 2018 by lifelong friends, Mike Paladini and Danny Polise. The name is a nod to Mike’s daughter. MGP has recently bought the brand out. The entry-level bourbon is a blend of wheat and rye mashbills, aged separately before blending and bottling. Maturation takes place in barrels charred with #4 staves and #2 heads. Current batches are aged longer than the original product - a minimum four years as opposed to two, and despite the base-level ABV, the whiskey comes bottled non-chill-filtered - unusual for Bourbon. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... The aroma presents as spiced and sweet, reminiscent of a liqueur. The palate is light, showing allspice, chamomile and ginger, with a fleeting white floral note and hint of cedar. What's in the bottle is a four-grain Bourbon (corn, rye, wheat, malted barley) distilled in Indiana, aged about two years, bottled in Kentucky, and named for the founder's daughter. 89 points - wineenthusiast.com
[Batch #2 tasted 2020] The nose offers cherry, raspberry tart, dried orange slices, butterscotch, black pepper, and antique closet.

Creamy and well-balanced, with its spice tempered by deep chocolate, cooked cherries, and a musty yet interesting character. 86 points - whiskyadvocate.com
...There’s no denying that this is a young bourbon as its youth is present throughout. With little distinguishing traits, long time bourbon drinkers will most likely walk away indifferent to Penelope Bourbon. That said, this bourbon seems to be aimed squarely at those new to the world of whiskey, specifically from their choice of marketing as an under 100 calorie pour, to using a wheated bourbon to soften its flavor profile. The end result though is exactly the type of whiskey I’d pour for someone looking to try bourbon for the first time. It’s a light, easy sipper that will make those new to bourbon realize that yes, bourbon can be an approachable spirit that is enjoyable to drink neat or on the rocks. 2019 tasting - breakingbourbon.com
Notes from the producers... Aroma: Balanced corn sweetness, caramel, light oak, syrup, dynamic aroma profile with slight savory notes. Body: Fruit, syrup, candied sweetness, and a savory vanilla note with slight berry and citrus: Finish: slight buttercream (icing) and corn bread finish with a lingering vanilla spice.

2015 Signatory Vintage Tullibardine 9 Year Old 100 Proof Edition #44 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$109. 99
Bottle
$1319.88 Dozen

ABV: 57.1%

A fairly quiet Scotch brand, in the last few decades there's been renewed interest as French owners, Picard have been experimenting with new age statements and maturations. Most of those weren't high strength, like this. Drawn from 1st & 2nd Fill Oloroso Sherry butts, some claim this to be more characterful than the distillery's official bottlings, and the mouthfeel is surprisingly smooth despite the high ABV. Sherry on top, and you're good to go! 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.
Other reviews... Truly, what a marvellous ‘budget’ series from Signatory… Colour: deep gold. Nose: cedarwood and candied oranges, plus bergamots and nougat—what more could one want? Nothing, absolutely nothing. With water: straw, hay, cigars, bread dough. And bread dough is always something to cherish under such circumstances. Mouth (neat): magnificently peppery, then bursting with turmeric, liquorice and coffee bean. It’s utterly full-on in the spice department, to say the least, but it’s great fun. Perhaps just a touch too much, on second thought? With water: we return to pure malt, herbs, earth, yeast… And the sherry’s walnuts! Finish: fairly long, a tad austere, bitter, herbal and, above all, honest. A trace of oregano on the aftertaste, which is rather amusing. Comments: lots of fondness for this fine series from Signatory, which generally manages to outshine its official counterparts without breaking a sweat. 84 points - whiskyfun.com

2025 Nicks Secret PLSV Clare Valley Riesling

Clare Valley, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
Reduced from $24.99
$14. 99
Bottle
$179.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2025-2033)

ABV: 10.3%

Closure: Stelvin

From the Watervale sub region, Skilly Valley, which runs north to south on the valley floor, vines grow in sandy loam soils over broken quartz. Protected from the extremes of the summer sun by the valley sides, the grapes from these vines produce Riesling with a natural crisp acid backbone.
Lean and tense yet intensely flavoured with an electric feel and long piercing finish.
Brilliant water like core with a faint greenish tinge around the edges. Lime and lemon scents leap from the glass trailed by some orange rind, talc and chalky mineral notes. Lean and tense yet intensely flavoured, zesty lime and lemon fruits shimmer across the palate with an electric feel. Orange rind, chalky talc and steely mineral elements thread their way through the zingy back half. Super crisp acidity with a long piercing, steely mineral laced finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 10.3%
Other Reviews….
The Skilly Valley is a sub-region of Watervale. And the minerally character in the wine comes from the sandy loam soils over broken quartz. It’s quite a delicate wine, heavily scented with light florals and appley citrus notes with just a hint of musk stick. The palate is fine, and although delicate, has a tremendous driving intensity with that typical Riesling tension. It finishes long and picks up very subtle stone fruit nuances as it flows through. Drink 2025-2035.

Ray Jordan – WinePilot.com
A sub-region of Watervale. You’d not expect 2025 to be a good vintage, given it was so dry, yet here we are. The proof is in the pudding (or glass as it may be).
My word this is a juicy wine. Green mango, lime and lemongrass, a spicy almost peppery top note. It has crunch and grip, lime and sherbet, definitely a sort of Thai salad sort of thing happening, and quite stony texture on a gently grippy finish of very good length. It’s maybe a little bit rugged, though I kind of like that. Flavour is not a problem for this wine, despite its very modest alcohol. Very nice. Drink 2025-2034.
94 Points
Gary Walsh – The Wine Front
Exquisitely dry, gently textural, whispered with slate and full of class. This is Clare Valley riesling at its dry, persistent, mouthwatwering best. Lime, floral notes, slate and a whisper of strawberry and/or blackcurrant bud. It’s a beautiful, dry, crisp riesling, light, lingering and ultimately satisfying.
94 Points
CampbellMattinson.com

The 2025 Skilly Valley Riesling is perhaps more of a predictable Clare Valley Riesling than the 2024 was, and by that I mean that this is classic lime, green apple, white pepper, fennel and green almonds. In the mouth, the wine is talcy and fine, chalky and fresh‚—it is possessed of that great succulence that is specific to Clare Valley Riesling. This is really impressive. By all accounts, 2025 was a challenging season for the lack of water and sustained heat, coupled with some damaging frosts leading in to the spring in 2024, however, none of the struggle is evident in this glass. This is excellent. 10.3% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2025-2035.

It is difficult to overstate just how central Weingut Keller has become to the modern understanding of dry Riesling. Since Klaus-Peter Keller took over from his father in 2001, the estate has set a global benchmark for precision and expression, joined in recent years by his son Felix, who now plays an increasingly active role in both the vineyards and cellar. Together with Julia Keller, they continue to refine a style that balances crystalline purity with textural depth, producing some of the most sought-after wines in Germany and beyond.
Not content with crafting some of the world's most precise Rieslings, the Keller family are equally adept with Burgundian varieties. This cuvée of Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) and Chardonnay represents Felix Keller's ongoing exploration of white Burgundy style through the lens of Dalsheim's limestone soils. The wine brings together purity and texture, with the structure of Chardonnay lending depth to the lifted, mineral profile of Pinot Blanc. It remains one of the most elegant and complete expressions of these varieties produced in the Rheinhessen.

Sourced largely from the Hubacker and Kirchspiel Grosse Lage vineyards, the Limestone Riesling is a study in tension and clarity. It combines concentrated fruit and spice with a gentle touch of sweetness, all carried by Keller's hallmark, finely etched acidity. The result is a wine that shows remarkable focus and drive while remaining accessible and immediate, a perfect introduction to the off-dry style of the estate.

The Limestone Kabinett captures a lighter, more delicate side of Keller's winemaking. It serves as the off-dry counterpart to Von der Fels, showing similar purity and precision but in a finer, more lifted frame. The balance between sweetness and acidity is seamless, giving a wine of effortless charm, freshness and mineral clarity.
Other Reviews....
This one is already bottled and released. Fruit from Kirchspiel and AbtsE.
Back to pure fruit after the savoury intensity of G-Max and Morstein: ripe green fruits, creamy citrus, creamy like tangy lemon curd. With air, more smoky, but with the sweetness of a Kabinett wine, the fruit is highlighted. Fruity yet stony. Generous and fresh at the same time. An intense Kabinett with excellent balance even with very high acidity. Needs time to become less primary. Drink 2026-2035.

Much of this quality stems from remarkable raw material. The estate farms some of the Rheinhessen's greatest sites: Morstein, Abtserde, Kirchspiel and Hubacker, with most vines now well over 30 years old, and many far older. Yields rarely exceed 35 hl/ha, harvest is deliberately late, and meticulous hand selection allows for long skin contact before gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place in a mix of old oak and stainless steel, always with an eye toward transparency and finesse rather than weight.
While more than 85 percent of Keller's holdings lie within Grosse Lage (Grand Cru) vineyards, only a small proportion is bottled under those designations. The estate's calling card, Riesling von der Fels, has taken on a greater role in recent years, both in scale and in significance. Initially conceived as a cuvée of young-vine fruit from top sites, it now incorporates a growing proportion of mature vines producing fruit of genuine GG quality. The result is a dry Riesling that captures the essence of the Keller style with remarkable clarity and precision.
Other Reviews....
The 2024 Riesling von der Fels, made with 50% grapes from Kirchspiel and the other 50% from Frauenberg, Hubacker, Abtserde and Morstein, was vinified in stainless steel and 600- to 2,400-liter oak vats. The wine displays bright, elegant, fresh and delicately spicy fruit with citrus and salty notes. Lean, elegant and juicy on the palate, with plenty of salt, a firm structure and lively citrus notes, this is an almost light, aromatic and very drinkable dry Riesling from shell limestone and limestone soils. It has a savory finish. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2025. Drink 2028-2045.

Stephan Reinhardt - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The winery’s calling card, says Keller. Includes a higher percentage of Kirchspiel (45%) than normal, with one barrel from vines planted 1964, two barrels of Morstein and AbtsE and a bit of Hubacker. Also the younger Frauenberg vines. Average vine age 30 years. No longer really the young vines though that is how this cuvée started. 40,000 bottles produced. To be released May 2025. Cask sample.
Lightly flinty aroma, pure salty-sour citrus. More mineral and less Riesling-defined than usual. High acid, great tension. Minerality of the vintage and Kirchspiel. A serious Von der Fels. Tight, bone dry, sinewy but with a mouth-watering grapefruit-like fruit foundation. Texture, too, with high dry extract in 2024 giving body to balance the freshness. Acidity is high but integrated. Drink 2027-2035.

RR stands for Riesling from red-soiled parcels within Kirchspiel, where the iron-rich earth gives a spicier, more textural profile than the limestone sites used for Von der Fels. In some vintages the fermentation finishes completely dry, while in others a small touch of residual sugar remains, creating a beautifully balanced feinherb expression. The 2024 vintage offers bright fruit, fine grip and an energetic, savoury edge that highlights the distinct personality of these red soils.

The Abtserde vineyard sits immediately above the old monastery site in Westhofen, on pure limestone soils with light marl. It is regarded as one of the estate's most finely detailed sites, producing wines defined by precision and minerality, and is among Keller's most limited bottlings.
Other Reviews....
From the Abtserde plot within the Brunnenhäuschen site in Westhofen, the 2023 Abts E Riesling GG is incredibly pure, deep and intense on the nose that is concentrated and chalky, with saline and lemony notes. Full-bodied, pure, fresh and saline on the palate, this is a highly complex and tight Riesling with a very intense, aromatic and structured finish. A great Riesling! Tasted as a sample in May this year. Drink 2025-2070.

The 2023 Riesling Westhofener Brunnenhäuschen Abtserde Grosses Gewächs is from a site between Kirchspiel and Morstein with the high active limestone. The shy nose teases with immensely pure but tender lemon peel notes, still interspersed with reduction. More air adds lemon balm. The palate is a picture of slenderness, brightness, freshness and limestone coolness. Underneath that is salt, stone and immense juiciness. Zestiness reigns, bringing length, depth and extra dimensions of citrus radiance. This is luminous and pure. (Bone-dry) Drink 2028-2060.

This is mineral magic! Unbelievably concentrated, but also unbelievably elegant and refined on the medium-bodied palate, this defies easy description. As you swirl the glass the various aromatic dimensions of the wine—stone fruit, citrus, fresh herbs and chalk dust—reveal themselves one after another. Incredibly long, pure and stony at the mind-blowing finish. Drink from release.

Vines 22–45 years old. Tank sample.
The tonal scale starts to rise here to a higher note than in Morstein but also showing more obvious smoky/mineral reduction. Ripe, pure and lightly spicy citrus, becoming ever more fragrant with air. A perfect contrast between crisp acidity and a rounded, deep fullness in the mouth, very different from the Rieslings grown on slate-dominated sites. Immense power, depth and length and an icy-cool finish cutting through all that depth. Drink 2027-2040.

Morstein is the most historic of Keller's holdings, first documented in the 13th century and renowned for its active limestone and clay-marl composition. The vineyard's elevation and exposure give it a reputation for longevity and complexity, making it a cornerstone of Keller's dry Riesling portfolio.

From vines planted in 1944, the Westhofen 2023 Morstein Riesling GG opens intense and fine like a perfume, with wet chalk, lemon juice and yellow plum aromas. Full-bodied, pure and refined on the palate, this is a juicy, savory and saline, finely tannic and chalky Riesling with a long, aromatic and stimulating finish. I tasted this potentially great wine as a sample in May 2024. It was to be bottled in July, but it won't be released before May 2025. Drink 2026-2060.

The 2023 Riesling Westhofener Morstein Grosses Gewächs is made from 75-year-old vines higher up in the Morstein. Just a touch of reduction still swings on the nose, but underneath, white peach, lemon balm and chervil flirt enticingly. Later on, creamy lemon joins in. Smooth serenity, absolutely cooling depth and an almost zen-like calm define the palate. Lemon at the core is almost incidental to this luminous, cool, profound wine with impeccable purity, poise and freshness. The longer you consider this, the deeper it sinks into that limestone. This is a slender, contoured monument to tranquility. (Bone-dry) Drink 2028-2060.

Gigantic length at the breathtakingly energetic, citrusy and chalky finish. Enormous potential. Drink from release.

Someone once described Keller's wines as the Puligny-Montrachet of Germany, and this one exemplifies that association. It’s not the grape variety that takes centre stage here, but the terroir – clay marl with limestone on a rocky subsoil. Everything comes together in perfect harmony: a silky texture, balanced ripeness, and a captivating flow. A hint of iodine mingles with citrus fruit, and the memory of this wine lingers far beyond its finish. Drink 2024-2055.

Limestone soils. Oldest vines are 75 years old, on the highest part of the slope. Tank sample.
An even deeper note than in the Oberer Hubacker. Spicy, rich, open in citrus and smoky/herbal complexity. A little more obvious reduction here. Altogether a darker, deeper wine that the previous wines from limestone soils. Immense concentration and power, essence of Riesling from this site, which give a more savoury complexity and seems incapable of flirting with the taster. But the taste stays with you for ever. Something here reminds me of Schubertslay even though the soils and the topography are so different. A smoky/herbal aftertaste. Drink 2027-2040.

But that doesn't make the whisky any worse; on the contrary, this sherry cask maturation is refreshingly different from all the dark red liqueur whiskies. - whiskybase.com

Bottle
$1919.88 Dozen

ABV: 48%

In June 2022, Elixir Distillers (the company behind a slew of UK brands such as Port Askaig and Elements of Islay) took over Tormore distillery from corporate giant, Pernod Ricard. Since then, they've presented the 'Blueprint Cask Program', an official pre-release series of three 10 year old expressions. Each focuses on a style of maturation that may form the basis of upcoming bottlings: One from bourbon barrels, another from toasted barrels and a third matured in Cream sherry casks. A core range is expected to follow in 2026. Meanwhile, malt lovers can get a heads up on these. Each Blueprint is a run of 1500 bottles at 48% ABV and are non-chill filtered. Given Tormore has mostly been a workhorse for blends, official bottlings didn't exist until 2004. Subsequent releases under Pernod Ricard never gained wide recognition, and the void has only been filled by independent offerings from Signatory, Cadenhead’s and Gordon & MacPhail. Hence, this much-overlooked distillery will be a novelty for most. The Bourbon Barrel expression has been summed up as "A great Summer whisky."
Other reviews... A very classic bourbon maturation that perfectly matches the character of the distillery. In my opinion, the finest of the three Blueprint bottlings"./
"If anyone expected an explosive dram, they will be disappointed. This Tormore enters the scene modestly, but as a classic Speyside with an incredibly clean signature. Lovely!" - whiskybase.com

2023 Mount Mary Quintet

$2520.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Diam Cork

The Quintet is Mount Mary's signature red and, for many, the heart of the estate. Blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec, it reflects both the site and the season with quiet precision. The 2023 vintage brings together 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Malbec. Each component is fermented on skins for around two weeks before spending close to two years in oak: a thoughtful mix of large-format, new and seasoned barrels. The result is a wine that captures the estate's hallmark balance of structure, freshness and subtle complexity.
2025 Wine Of The Year - The Australian
Other Reviews....
Black-fruited and perfumed, with aromas of blackcurrants, violets, licorice, cassia bark, graphite, blueberry compote, pomegranates, tobacco, mahogany, lead pencil shavings and balsamic strawberries. The palate is mid-weighted, with finely integrated tannins and balanced acidity leading into a textural, rounded and seamless mouthfeel. There’s an excellent balance of fruit, florals, earth and herbs, anchored by a mineral core. This Bordeaux blend with New World freshness is built for the ages, yet offers plenty of early drinking appeal. What a wine. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Quintet is, like every other Quintet I've tasted in my life, pure joy. The wine is famous for its fine frame and floral aromatics, its ability to age what feels interminably and its unfettered expression of this corner of the Yarra Valley—Coldstream. While the cooler season of 2023 has shaped some of the elements of the wine, it remains true to its site and leaves a gentle cedar note trail through the memory. It has more pomegranate and cherry than cassis or blackberry, along with notes of violets, bay leaf and star anise even. It is a beautiful wine, one of my favorite Cabernets in this country. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under Diam cork. Drink 2025-2043.

47/28/15/6/4% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/cabernet franc/petit verdot/malbec. In a hark back to cooler years, this was picked after the rain at the start of April. Brightly coloured, the result is a gorgeous wine; perfumed and beguiling with pure, blackcurrant fruit aromas, graphite, violets and subtle, oak-derived cedar and pencil shavings. The palate is classically medium bodied with lovely persistence, the fruit supported by balanced, fine-grained tannins and equally fine acidity. Like all great Mount Mary Quintets this will age gracefully over the next two decades but, given a good decant, is also balanced an approachable enough to enjoy in its youth. Drink 2027-2040.

Philip Rich - James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec.
This is a crisper, more acid than tannin based vintage, or at least that’s my reading. Blueberry, blackcurrant, nutmeg, peanuts and tilled earth, pencil and violet perfume, with a smoky pipe tobacco and a dried herb top note, some liquorice richness is there too, which is kind of surprising! There’s a coolness to this wine, though it’s still all blackcurrant and black olive, very finely etched with a bright cranberry and raspberry finish of excellent length. Tight and slightly tangy, and I reckon it will do so well with bottle age. I like the graphite/pencil thing on the finish very much, and the dried violet that carries a lingering fragrance as it closes. Gee, I love the perfume that this wine has, though tannin has a little more scratchiness to it than is typical. I’m thinking about this wine more than is usual, which is a good sign. In short, one of the more aromatic releases, though lesser in tannin quality. Still, it’s a beautiful thing. Drink 2029 - 2044+.

ABV: 13%

Closure: Stelvin

Founded by winemaker Samantha Connew, Stargazer has become one of Tasmania's most compelling small producers, crafting wines of precision and quiet intensity from the Coal River and Derwent Valleys. Whether Riesling, Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, each release reflects a meticulous, hands-off approach and a focus on texture, energy and site expression. For many, Stargazer marks the sweet spot between refinement and individuality in modern Tasmanian wine.
The 2025 Tupelo wine is crafted from a harmonious blend comprising 39% Pinot Gris, 30% Pinot Blanc, and 24% Gewürztraminer, 7% Riesling. This unique composition pays homage to the renowned Alsatian 'Gentil' style by combining the full-bodied and textured characteristics of Pinot Gris, the lively vibrancy of Pinot Blanc, the aromatic spiciness of Gewürztraminer, and culminating in the finesse and acidic structure of Riesling. The grapes are all meticulously handpicked and destemmed and undergo approximately eight hours of skin contact before being gently pressed and then aged in seasoned oak barrels for a wild fermentation process. Gewurztraminer, on the other hand, lingers on the skins for a slightly longer period of two days before fermentation. Each varietal is then left to rest on lees for two months, without any sulphur before being blended and bottled.
Other Reviews....
The 2025 Tupelo is composed of Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Gewürztraminer and Riesling, a blend that typifies Tasmania's capacity to combine complexity with eminent drinkability. After tasting hundreds of wines in Tasmania in January, it became clear to me that Pinot Gris grows very well here, and it lends itself to a variety of blends and styles, offering us, the drinkers, a bright and easy-drinking option. To me, it is the commercial proposition of Tasmania, and never has Pinot Gris in Australia looked so good as it does down here, off the mainland. Here, the wine leads with rose petals, white peach, green apple, layers of brine and pith, nashi pear and white flowers. It's balanced, it's fresh, it's textural and it's classy. I love it. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2026-2036.

Sam Connew's 'Tupelo' is consistently one of my favourite wines in her vinous quiver. You see, it's a blend of pinot gris, riesling, gewürztraminer and pinot blanc and it's a case of the whole being more that the sum of its parts. It's slinky and textural, with characters of poached pear, wildflowers, honeysuckle, crushed stone, clover, iced peach tea, ozone and almond paste. It is complex and wildly easy to drink at the same time ... no mean feat and of course, being Taswegian, there is minerally energy to burn. It's a ripper. Drink 2025-2030.

Whether Riesling, Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, each release reflects a meticulous, hands-off approach and a focus on texture, energy and site expression. For many, Stargazer marks the sweet spot between refinement and individuality in modern Tasmanian wine.
The 2025 Single Vineyard Riesling delicately balances between being 'dry' and 'off-dry' (6.7g/L residual sugar), and achieves a remarkable equilibrium between acidity and fruitiness. The Riesling comes from all three blocks of the Stargazer vineyard located in the Tea Tree sub-region of Coal River, planted in 2004, 2017, and 2021, supplemented with grapes from another grower in Campania sub region, planted in 2001. The grapes are carefully hand-picked, destemmed, and then undergo eight hours of skin contact maceration before being pressed and transferred to tanks for fermentation. Fermentation is halted when the ideal sugar-to-acid balance is achieved, and the wine is left on lees for several months, with gentle stirring every two weeks.
Other Reviews....
The 2025 Riesling is tightly coiled and composed, fresh and floral. Where the Palisander is texturally complex and weighty in its delivery of powerful fruit and focused acidity, this presents an altogether more feathery experience, one that tends to dance across the palate, rather than march. Here, we have lime flesh, lemon curd, white flowers and crushed rocks. It may not be as complex as the Palisander nor as layered, but I find it to be irresistibly detailed, fresh and pleasurable. It's a matter of choosing your preference, really. It's an excellent wine. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2026-2036.

A fragrant and wonderfully perfumed Coal River Valley riesling that shows characters of green apple, grapefruit, yuzu, lime, apple blossom, mineral salts, clover and crushed stone.

Whether Riesling, Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, each release reflects a meticulous, hands-off approach and a focus on texture, energy and site expression.

This wine comes exclusively from Stargazer's own vineyards in the Tea Tree sub-region of the Coal River Valley, where the vines were planted in 2002. The soil here is clay loam with a high calcium content, which results in thicker grape skins and more flavor. The fruit is handpicked, destemmed, and left on the skins for 12 hours before gentle pressing. The juice is wild fermented in ceramic and concrete egg-shaped containers where it is left to age on lees for a further 10 months.
Other Reviews....
The 2024 Palisander Riesling hails from the Palisander vineyard in the Coal River Valley. The fruit was left on its skins for 12 hours prior to a wild ferment over six weeks in ceramic (60% of the blend) and concrete eggs (the balance) and then left on the lees for 10 months. Aromatically, it leads with candle wax and brine, hessian and straw. In the mouth, the wine is textural and wide, with the impact of the time on its lees wholly evident. This is chewy and full of flavor, with bright acidity (a pH of 3.19 and six grams per liter of acidity) that is mitigated by 0.5 grams per liter of acidity of residual sugar left in the wine. This is sophisticated and sleek, with eminent polish and drive. It's very good. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2026-2036.

Riesling sourced from the Palisander vineyard in Tea Tree in the Coal River Valley and made by Samantha Connew. Pale straw with aromas of green apple, lime and grapefruit with hints of flint, clover blossom, wildflowers, distant crushed herbs, cold chamomile tea, crushed stone, sea spray and ozone. There is just a touch of texture on the palate, which shows a focused mineral line and excellent tension between the inherent citrus and apple fruit tones and the chalky mineral cadence. Lovely stuff; crisp, composed drinking. Drink 2025-2035.

Made with harvested Mount Franklin water and Australian grain, this limited release, triple-barrelled whisky was aged in bourbon casks, then finished in PX and Oloroso sherry. We received a tiny 20ml sample, leaving the impression of a lightish, pastry-soft malt, almost floral in moments, with a gorgeous feminine character framed by clean oak and spices. The distillers state it's deliberately styled like a Scottish Highlander, but it could equally pass for a polished, malt-heavy blend. 48% Alc./Vol.
Notes from the producers... rich notes of honey and maple and a soft hint of freshly cut summer grass.

El Arquero Blanco Tequila (700ml)

Jalisco, MEXICO
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 38%

A new tequila venture founded by former Test Cricket Captain, Adam Gilchrist. The brand’s name, El Arquero, is Spanish for “The Archer” and “The Keeper”. “That’s where the cricket reference ends,” Gilchrist says. “I wanted something that could stand on its own two feet... I’m not a brand ambassador, I’m a founder. I wanted to do it properly.” Adamant that the brand isn't about celebrity or fanciful stories, Gilchrist is genuinely interested in quality. “We didn’t want to just slap a label on someone else’s juice,” he says. “We wanted something authentically made, traditionally distilled, and clean as it gets. No additives, no shortcuts.” So he and his team partnered with the Báñuelos family, third-generation masters and original founders of Cazadores. Their Destiladora de Los Altos distillery has been quietly perfecting the art for over half a century.
The Blanco is aimed at being accessible without compromising proper tequila character. Seven year old agaves are harvested to create a bright, herbaceous aroma leading to a refreshingly crisp palate. According to Esquire Magazine, "...clarity shows in the liquid. The Blanco leads with roasted pineapple, citrus and white pepper before sliding into notes of vanilla and lemon. A small portion is aged briefly in oak, just enough to take the sting out of the back end." 38% Alc./Vol.

2014 El Dorado High Ester Blend PM / DHE Cask Strength Guyana Rum (750ml)

GUYANA
$299. 00
Bottle
$3588.00 Dozen

ABV: 51.7%

Following the series’ inaugural release in 2024 (La Bonne Intention / DHE) comes this single barrel blend of two pot still rums, PM (Port Mourant double wooden pot still ) & DHE (Diamond High Ester from a small John Dore double retort pot still), both aged for 10 years in second-fill Bourbon barrels. According to the company, their high ester rums are marked by intense fruity and floral notes, driven by the concentration of the aromatic compounds that define their signature character. The distillation process involves slow boiling and high reflux in the DHE still, which is said to help retain and extract the high concentration of ethyl acetate produced during the “funky fermentation” process. As a result, the rum achieves ester levels exceeding 1,500 grams per hectolitre.
Beyond the deep mahogany colour, the first thing you notice is the volatility of alcohol. Once the fumes recede the nose gives way to papaya, mango yogurt, ginger warmth and latent vanillas. If you like your rums intense, this comes with a potent, almost incendiary attack of succulent tropical fruits and bracing spices. As your mouth adjusts to the ABV it feels less aggressive.; flavours of ginger biscuits and dry molasses are evident, as is the Bourbon oak input, but overall it's true to the label, capturing a bittersweet fruit-bomb profile that repeatedly brings you back to those funky esters, reminiscent of banana bread and ripe papaya, especially as the finish gains definition after air contact. Not everyone can handle these very natural and exotic styles, but most would agree, they're rare to find, and deliver at least twice as much character than 99% of mainstream market rums. 51.7% Alc./Vol.
Notes from the producers... aromas of green apple, flambéed banana, and subtle notes of clove, cigar, and peat. On the palate, the fruit-forward style showcases notes of ripe tropical fruit, clove, and infused tobacco spice.

Glenmorangie The Original 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - New Release

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$84. 99
Bottle
$1019.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

In the last decade, no-age-statement (NAS) whisky has been championed, and age statements have tumbled. In an unusual move for the Scotch Whisky Industry, Glenmorangie are putting age statements up instead of down, starting with their newly presented core releases.
Other reviews... The new Original, changed from 10 to 12 years old, stands tall with fresh ripe orange and peach fruitiness on the nose, then honey, vanilla cream, wood spice, and exotic flora notes. The palate revolves around lemon, vanilla, apricot, peach, and orange, plus cinnamon and banana bread. The ripeness of the fruit and the creaminess stand out above the floral and vanilla elements of the old 10 year old. 91 points - whiskyadvocate.com
There used to be the modest but likeable 10 year old ‘The Original’, which we last tried in 2023 (WF 81) but it’s since been replaced by this 12 year old, the house having added two extra years of maturation. A refreshing change from the recent global trend of reducing ages by heading toward NAS territory, you know whisky's way of doing shrinkflation. Colour: gold. Nose: the 40% do make themselves felt, or rather not felt, if you see what I mean, but the American oak casks do lend their usual creamy and vanilla-forward touch, alongside ripe apples, banana, soft oak (with a whisper of fresh sawdust), and a fairly prominent note of Earl Grey tea. Also some fresh barley, which makes the whole thing rather pleasant. Mouth: we find the nose again on the palate, though it leans a little more towards oranges this time, and thus a little less towards the rest. A hint of bitterness follows, then green tea, a touch of ginseng and a suggestion of peach skin. It’s light but not weak. Finish: a little short, yet once again, fair enough. Green tea with a drop of honey and a discreet grassy side. Comments: I quite like this charming little dram, nicely put together. 82 points - whiskyfun.com

Tormore Blueprint Toasted Barrels 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$159. 99
Bottle
$1919.88 Dozen

ABV: 48%

Other reviews... The ‘replica’ wave shows no sign of retreating, and this design strongly evokes the old official Tormores from the 1970s. You’ll say those were excellent!... Toasted casks are a different breed from the usual charred ones typically used for whisky, but a strong toast will also leave its mark on the contents, leaning towards coffee yet with fewer tannins. Colour: straw. Nose: for the moment we’re on mineral and citrusy tension, which brings to mind some young Pulteneys we’ve just sampled. It’s fresh, with a fatty side on the nose (sunflower oil, green banana, peanut butter) but, thank goodness, there’s no avalanche of coconut and vanilla in sight. A few dandelion petals fluttering in the background. Mouth: there’s a distinctly spicy and resinous edge here, one wonders whether it’s European oak—or even Mizunara? Also heaps of maquis honey with a punchy character, and a definite juniper note that’ll have you sailing straight across the North Sea to Holland. Let’s not forget the speculoos, which are also quite dominant. All in all, it comes across as more of a blend component, and in fact that’s exactly what it is, the future ‘new’ Tormores won’t be flying solo in this particular style. Finish: hints of mint liqueur and turmeric. Comments: very unusual and leaning more towards the spirit of some young Germanic distilleries, I’d say. That said, it’s very well executed. 85 points - whiskyfun.com

$149. 99

ABV: 57.1%

Glentauchers makes a debut in the Exceptional Cask series! From first-fill oloroso butts, it’s a dram that's said to ooze sherried richness and structure, so the distillery character will likely be a bit buried. (No half measures from Signatory when it comes to sherry!) Expect chewy sherry-soaked fruits, cocoa nibs, spiced plum compote and old oak furniture. 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... Nose: Very nice sweet forest berries. Later, the fresh raspberries really stood out to me. Taste: The perfect sweetness is balanced by the sharpness of the pepper (chilli). Caramel and cocoa. Gentle bitterness. A whiff of fruit this time plums, dates. Finish: Medium, warming alcohol. Sweet caramel note with oak and dark chocolate. - whiskybase.com

Cellar: Drink now - 10 Years (2025-2035)

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Cork

Rich, dense and powerful yet not over bearing with a long sweeping finish.
Eligo is made from the most exceptional parcels of fruit available to John and Tim Duval. Comprising 62% Barossa Valley and 38% Eden Valley Shiraz, the exceptional 2021 vintage was sourced from old vineyards in the Ebenezer (Hoffmann), Krondorf (Stoll) and Moppa (Chapman) sub regions of the Barossa Valley and the Moculta (Fechner) and Mt McKenzie (Knight/Severin) sub regions of the Eden Valley. Maturation took place in French oak (42% new) for a period of 18 months.
Impenetrable inky black heart with a deeply saturated dark red black hue. Wafting from the glass with terrific intensity are heady aromas of ripe blackberry, liquorice, dark plum and dark chocolate followed by some vanillin oak, earthy mocha and spice notes. Rich and opulent the palate is drenched in a tidal wave of blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits. Vanillin oak, earthy mocha, subtle fennel and spice elements are draped across the back half. Dense and powerful yet not over bearing it has beautifully structured tannins and a long sweeping finish that embodies both refinement and Barossa’s trademark plush feel.
Drink over the next 8-10 years.
Alc. 14.5%
Other Reviews….
From the stellar '21 vintage, the Eligo represents the best of the year and is a split of a range of amazing vineyard sites from the Barossa (62%) and Eden (38%) valleys. It's concentrated and essence-like with deep, resonant blackberry, black cherry and Doris plum fruits with hints of clove, cinnamon, purple flowers, licorice, dark chocolate, cedar, olive tapenade, pan juices and earth. Thick shouldered but balanced and harmonious with melt-in-the-mouth, chocolatey tannins and exceptional length of flavour. Drink by 2045.

Bladnoch The Dragon Series Iteration III The Casks Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Lowlands, SCOTLAND
Reduced from $220.00
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 49.9%

The Casks is the third iteration in the Dragon Series, this time highlighting the process of coopering. Crafting Bladnoch’s barrels requires consideration of the oak species, growth environment, and technical aspects of toasting, charring, and seasoning. This expression is bottled at 49.9% ABV and combines the richness of first-fill American oak bourbon wood with the complexity of first-fill Spanish oak Sherry casks, delivering a more robust profile that's been summed up as "...complex, herbal, grassy, spicy and a little alcoholic with the sweetness of jam and a significant sherry influence". (whiskybase.com) 49.9% Alc./Vol. 2000 bottles produced.
Other reviews... Colour: gold. Nose: I’m finding a touch of shoe polish and of course a good deal of walnuts, green or aged, a classic sherry marker. It then veers towards bitter orange, always a development I enjoy, and also a bit of modelling clay that takes one straight back to childhood. A few hints of soot and dunnage, even a whiff of hessian. Could there be a little peat in this baby? Mouth: it’s a bit like the bourbon version, only drier still, properly on green walnut and even ashes. Still that very grassy, tight character, this certainly wasn’t a sweet sherry cask, or so it seems. That said, we don’t really find any peat on the palate, the impression on the nose seems to have been but a fleeting moment. Finish: long, still on those notes of green walnut and modelling clay. Comments: I think I slightly preferred the bourbon version, which was more direct and fresher, but this drier, more sherried take is also very good. 84 points - whiskyfun.com
