    2018 Thibaud Boudignon Savennieres Clos Fremine
    Loire Valley, FRANCE
    $170. 00
    Bottle
    $2040.00 Dozen
    ABV: 12.5%
    Closure: Cork

    Based in Savennieres, Thibaud Boudignon is one of the new young stars of the Loire Valley. In addition to his prime plots in Savennieres, Thibaud also owns two small vineyards across the river on the south side of the Loire in the Anjou. Thibaud has worked with Philippe Charlopin in Gevrey Chambertin, Chateau Lafite Rothschild in Bordeaux (amongst others) and also in Australia before settling in the Loire, thereby building up a wealth of experience without having been born into a wine producing family. Working organically in the vineyards he harvests by hand making successive tries throughout each vineyard ending with yields that are much lower than the appellation rules allow. In the winery the grapes are whole bunch pressed with no settling and the juice is kept cold before starting a long slow fermentation. He vinifies with natural yeasts and ages the wines on lees with minimal SO2 in a mixture of barrels ranging from 300-600 litres.

    This Clos Fremine site adjoins Clos de la Hutte separated only by stone walls surrounding each Clos and a tiny road between and is planted to 1.5ha of vines from massale selection, with the original material coming from vines of more than 100 years old. Sloping towards the Loire the soils have a fine cover of sand blown over the underlying schist across many millenia which conveys a silky elegance to the resulting wine, giving more immediacy and enabling this wine to be appreciated in its youth.

    Other Reviews....
    Thibaud planted the vineyard only in 2014 and aged his 2018 Savennières Clos de Frémine in 350- and 500-liter barrels (10% new). The result is stunning. The wine opens with a dense and finely yeasty nose with deeper layers of crushed crystalline rocks, perfectly ripe and fleshy Chenin fruit and very discreet hints of mocha and nougat. Generous but playful, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a textural and stimulatingly salty young Savennières with lush fruit and lingering, palate-tickling and stimulating salinity that gives a crisp, pure, almost Riesling-like and bitter finish. It is a remarkably fresh and filigreed but textured Chenin for such a warm vintage. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2022. Drink 2022-2032.

    Loire Valley, FRANCE

He vinifies with natural yeasts and ages the wines on lees with minimal SO2 in a mixture of barrels ranging from 300-600 litres.

    This tiny site of 0.5 ha on soils of clay over purple schist and granite lies high above Chateau de Varennes not far from La Roche aux Moines. Thibaud bought and renovated this plot in 2014. This small vineyard is enclosed by trees on all sides so it is a peaceful space where one hears only the birds. "La Vigne Cendrée", in spite of its small surface is an exceptional mosaic of terroir : purple schist, granite and clay silt. Because of the clay and the southern exposition, this wine is naturally richer. Half is aged in 226 litre burgundy barrels and half in foudre, with no new wood, for 12 months.

    Other Reviews....
    The 2018 Savennières La Vigne Cendrée (cinder or ash vine) comes from three-year-old vines in a small, south-facing vineyard with a complex terroir changing from purple schist to granite to clayey silt. It was vinified naturally in Burgundian barrels and in foudre for 12 months, with no new oak, and bottled with 12% alcohol. The wine opens with intense but also pure, delicate, floral-scented fruit that is absolutely alluring in its slatey fragrancy and spiciness. On the palate, this medium-weight Chenin is pure, clear, fresh, light-footed, remarkably filigreed and finessed but also dense and intense, celebrating delicate and elegant Chenin fruit. What a beautiful drinking pleasure! This is a frisky, vital, energetic, minerally grippy and stimulatingly tensioned, sustainably salty and palate-tickling Savennières in the leaner, fresher, classical style. A pretty fabulous result for such a young vineyard in such a dramatically dry and hot vintage. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2022. Drink 2022-2033.

    Janneau 18 Year Old Grand Armagnac (700ml)
    Armagnac, FRANCE
    $129. 99
    Bottle
    $1559.88 Dozen
    ABV: 43%

    Distilled from Ugni Blanc grapes sourced from Ténarèze. The youngest eaux-de-vie in the blend is at least 18 years old.

    Other reviews... This baby was integrally double-distilled in one set of stills. It’s 100% ugni blanc. Oh and it’s got a nice age statement instead of some very woolly name. Like Grand Prestige Of The Mousquetaires Du Roy. Whatever… Colour: deep gold. Nose: another category for sure. Lovely tropical fruits (papayas covered with honey and nectars) plus ripe peaches and fresh liquorice, then a little custard, tobacco, and sandalwood. Lovely freshness. Mouth: it’s still got young Armagnac’s grittiness, but that’s totally an asset here. Liquorice, black chocolate, orange blossom water, baklavas, more tinned peaches, and quite curiously, a spoonful of smoked tea. Finish: this is where it loses points, it’s a tad too grassy and drying. Lack a little, shall we say vibrancy? A wee touch of sugar, don’t know where that’s coming from. Comments: not perfect but I think it’s very good, very solid middle-aged Armagnac. And hey, it comes with an age statement (in general, and just like in Scotland, NAS-ers always try to make you believe that their make is older than it actually is). 80 points - whiskyfun.com

    Notes from the producers... Colour: Beautiful brown copper reflections. Nose: Aromas of dry fruits with a dominance of walnuts and hazelnuts, balanced by floral aromas. Palate: Frank attack, rich and supple tannins. Persistent flavour of liquorice.

    Maxime Trijol Selection XO Cognac (700ml)
    Cognac, FRANCE
    $99. 99
    Bottle
    $1199.88 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

    A super buy in XO Cognac with the presentation to match.

    A 'sister' bottling to our biggest selling XO cognac, Maxime Trijol's 'XO Selection' is composed of slightly younger eaux de vie, drawing on a higher proportion of Ugni Blanc from the Fins Bois appellation. The value looks to be just as exceptional as their signature XO, with no big brand house coming close to the price being offered here. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Notes from the producers... Amber-mahogany dress with golden and coppery highlights. Brilliant colour. The first nose is floral (iris, jasmine) and spicy (hazelnut, vanilla wood). The attack is silky and voluptuous. The aromatic notes are intense and round (floral, fruity marmalade, woody). Very beautiful, noble and well-balanced Cognac.

    Since its establishment in 1864, Fee Brothers continue to expand with a product list boasting over 80 drink mix products. The company presently has six different bitters. Up until now, some of these ingredients have been difficult to find despite being essential for many classic cocktail recipes which are returning to popularity. In general, we've found the Fee Bros. range of bitters to be more pungent than others on the market, so they offer fantastic value for money by being used sparingly.

    Fee Bros. 'Old Fashioned' is a classic Bitters essential to every bar. Key ingredients include Angostura bark, spice flavours, citrus oil and gentian. Perfect in a Manhattan or a Planter's Punch amongst many other classic drinks, as well as soups, minced meat, plum pudding and many other preparations. 17.5% Alc./Vol.

    A mouthful of peach and acacia blossom and a very attractive freshness. Medium-bodied, but quite some power to the nicely balanced and very clean finish. A cuvee based on grenache blanc with viognier, marsanne, roussane and a very small amount of clairette. Drink or hold.

    Matured for 9 months in 25% new French oak. Semi translucent dark red colour with black shaded edges and a light red hue. Fragrant scents of violet, red to dark cherry and strawberry sail from the glass trailed by some clove, bramble and spicy rhubarb notes.

    Fruit from Yarra Junction and Dixons Creek. A light ruby garnet. Gently fragrant with its aromas of strawberries, rose petals, white pepper and cinnamon. It's medium bodied and persistent, with enough tannin to suggest this will take six to 12 months to approach its ideal drinking window. Drink by 2029.

    $119. 99
    Bottle
    $1439.88 Dozen
    ABV: 57.1%

    Judging by online reviews, this sounds like a grain that tastes like it's peaking early, probably the result of input from the first and second refill casks which makes it taste richer than you'd expect. Says one, "Pleasant dram for sure, and very decent for quite a young grain." 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

    Other reviews... Nice, consistent whisky. Powerful, but not too much; sweet and red fruits, and some earthy vibes later on. Nose: Full scent, vanilla sweetness and some berries, a whiff of darker red fruits. Taste: Powerful, not too hefty. Red fruits, berries, milk chocolate now, vanilla sweetness. A little earthy touch noticeable later on. Finish: A bit more alcohol noticeable, but still very drinkable. Red fruits again, berries, a bit of earthy touch as well. A bit drying mouthfeel, medium long finish. - whiskyfun.com

    Juicy yet quite elegant in its flow with energetic acidity and a red to dark fruited finish that’s laced with pepper.

    A blend of Mourvedre, Grenache and Shiraz. Deep black dark red heart with a dark red hue.

    An hommage to the great Bob McLean; a blend of 42/42/16% grenache/mourvèdre/shiraz. I miss Bob. Our last conversation before he passed away was conducted while leaning on our utes while filling them with diesel, discussing whether it was wise to buy butter chicken from a service station bain-marie. But I digress. This is a ripper of a wine. Spicy and packed full of graceful, pure plum and dark cherry fruits cut with hints of roasting meats, dried citrus rind, dried wildflowers, orange blossom, ginger cake, rosehip and earth. Powdered granite tannins and snappy, sour acidity with plenty of sustain on the finish. Drink by 2038.

    $1439.88 Dozen
    ABV: 57.1%

    "A nice find in this SV 100 Proof collection." - whiskybase.com

    A dedicated blend filler, North British never bottle whisky under their own label, so few would have had the opportunity to taste it on its own. This one's apparently not as extreme as many others in the 100 Proof series and pretty young for a grain, but does its job well - no doubt due to the injection of added flavour from the first and second fill oloroso sherry butts. Some bourbon barrels are also in the mix. 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

    Other reviews... Very pleasant, even though this grain whisky is only 15 years old. Cereal-like, fruity, spicy and very well-balanced. Smooth and oily on the palate. A nice find in this SV 100 Proof collection. A nice balance between Bourbon and Sherry. Vanilla and walnut in the finish. - whiskybase.com

    ...Taste: Some power, but very drinkable. A lot of sweetness and red fruitiness, berries. Later on it gains some power. Finish: Now a little alcohol bitterness comes in, but not too dominating. Sweet, red fruits, medium long finish. - whiskybase.com

    A combination of different clones, which were fermented separately with a combination of wild and inoculated yeasts. It’s a generous palate structure, but it is also delivered with a degree of delicacy, heightened by the fine minerality that cuts through to the finish. Light stone fruit with a little cut lime edginess provides balance, while the oak is neatly tuned to create perfect balance. Drink 2025-2033.

    A mixture of clones, barrel fermented and matured in French oak (20% new). A full yet bright green gold. With its bouquet of yellow peach, apricot and orange blossom, this is more open knit than the '23 at the same age. It's flavoursome and harmonious on the palate, too. Finishes with good persistence. Drink by 2028.

    ABV: 43%

    Yet another offer from Janneau that's likely to incite equal degrees of temptation and anticipation. This time it opens a door to access the kind of well-aged spirits associated with high rollers, cigar aficionados and otherwise certified brandy hedonists. Different from the younger Janneau expressions, the heavier oak input is counterpointed by dense dried fruit characteristics and wrapped up in softer textures, approaching an almost seamless spirit/wood/fruit balance. The youngest element in the blend is 25 years old, with all of the eaux de vie being Ugni Blanc based, sourced from Tenereze.

    Notes from the producers... Colour: Clear copper hues. Nose: Delicious combination of dry fruits and resinous-tree fruits. Palate: Unique sensory experience, complex woody and spicy while still sweet, velvety and never aggressive. Exceptionally long finale.

    Obviously relatively young for a grain whisky, but balanced and (just) mature enough to bring vibrant layers of vanilla, toffee and gentle oak, enhancing the distillery's naturally mellow, sweet spirit. Aged exclusively in first-fill bourbon barrels. 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

    Other reviews... Crazy aroma but great taste and finish. Despite its intensity, it remains refined and gentle until the very end. Nose: Initially very strange, like a freshly opened paint bucket and very alcoholic. Then sweet vanilla, cream candies, fresh coconut and citrus fruits come through. Also a hint of marzipan. Taste: Powerful and creamy on the tongue. This is complemented by caramel, toffee, roasted almonds and plenty of spice. Finish: Long finish with lingering sweetness and delicate oak notes. - whiskybase.com

    Fruit sourced from Darling's Koombahla vineyard, Whitfield. Pressed, settled in tank, fermented on fluffy lees in small and large French oak and clay egg for six months. While aligotè has been called 'Burgundy's other white grape,' make no mistake, this King Valley charmer is fully deserving of the drinker's respect. Each vintage, it reveals greater concentration and complexity. With citrus, peach, stone fruits, hazelnut and baking spices, it comes with an elegance and restrained composure. Carries impressive drive and length, with a lick of almond nuttiness to close. Drink by 2032.

    An iconic wine sourced from the Lovedale vineyard, planted in '46 by Maurice O'Shea. As a '19 cellar release, this wine is just beginning to reveal the greatness that lies ahead. Scented and alluring like an exquisite perfume, it offers notes of zest, lemon thyme and cultured butter. The palate seamlessly combines power and suppleness, enhanced by age, with charred citrus notes and satisfying mid-palate generosity. Although beautiful now, the defined vein of limey acidity reminds the drinker that it's only partway through its journey. Drink by 2039.

    Rich, spicy and smoky with a long, succulent pepper laced conclusion.

    After almost three decades of shared experience in the wine industry, Bernice Ong and Julian Forwood decided to have a crack at their own venture sourcing fruit mainly from high quality vineyards in McLaren Vale to produce wines under their Ministry of Clouds label. Incorporates approximately 18% whole bunches with maturation taking place in a combination of French oak hogsheads, puncheons, demi muids, foudres, and a concrete egg for a period of 7 months.

    Dense midnight black heart with a dark red black tinged hue. Fragrant liquorice, red plum and blackberry scents infused with clove, smoked meats and peppered earth sail out of the glass. Rich, spicy and smoky, the palate features juicy dark plum and liquorice fruits interwoven with dried clove, smoked meat and peppered earth elements. Polished, fine grained tannins with a long, succulent pepper laced conclusion.
    Drink over the next 5-6 years.

    There’s always a panoply of pick times and ferment constructions employed, with the matrix reminiscent of a forensic investigation, carefully linked by string and drawing pins. The impact, however, is entirely effortless, with a seamless feel and gossamer layering. This is agreeably lightweighted, scented with coal-smoky bunch notes, trilling with red fruits and popping with spices, running though coriander seed, green cardamom, white pepper and fennel seed. Goji berry, redcurrant, rose petal, Earl Grey tea, tart blackberry, tamarind … sweet and sour in the right way. A thoroughly modern Vale shiraz with Rhône echoes. Lovely. Drink by 2032.

    A rich, mouth filling Cabernet Sauvignon that has a sturdy back drop.

    Fruit for the Ring Bolt was sourced from a selection of sites, most being around the Margaret River’s flagship Wilyabrup sub-region, close to the Indian Ocean. Maturation took place in a combination of 10% new American oak barriques with the balance in one year and older American and French oak barriques for a period of 12 months.
    Dense inky black colour with a dark red black tinged hue. Pronounced blackcurrant and ripe mulberry aromas are complimented by vanillin cedar, earthy tobacco, subtle black olive and bay leaf notes. Rich mouth filling blackcurrant and mulberry fruits overlay a cedary tobacco, earth and bay leaf infused back drop. Fine grained tannins finishing generous yet sturdy.

    With the challenges of the ’21 vintage behind it, this excellent value for money Margaret River Cabernet from the subregion of Wilyabrup is right back in form. It was a very good vintage for red wine and this one, which displays excellent structure and balance is a terrific example. Rich black fruits and a dollop of chocolate with that slightly saline minerality and subtle black olive adding complex nuances. One of the very best I have tasted in this line. Drink 2025-2035.

    The 2021 Love Over Gold Grenache is fine-boned, febrile and pretty, with layers of blood and iodine, plum skin and licorice. The tannins are embossed into the fruit and are incredibly pliable and malleable in the mouth. This is not a big expression of Grenache, and some may argue it isn't "big" enough for Grenache—but not me. This remains true to variety with an abundance of graphite tannin and a mineral, cooling finish. The fruit is not overly sweet; it is balanced by an exotic pink peppercorn/pastrami/sumac character. What a wine! A big, mineral YES. Drink 2022-2037.

    From the Lance vineyard, planted to 8300 vines/ha in 1989; a vineyard that produced some of the Yarra's most coveted pinots in the 1980s. A light, very bright crimson red. Fragrant and even more pure fruited than the excellent Applecross pinot off the same vineyard. Aromas of alpine strawberries, redcurrants, bergamot and subtle floral notes precede the palate, which is simultaneously concentrated and light on its feet at the same time. Beautifully delineated and structured on the palate. This seriously good wine will open up and blossom over the next six to eight years at least. Drink by 2036.

There are many great whisky writers and gurus, but Jim’s approach is unique!

    Deep yellow-straw in colour with intense hazelnut and vanilla aromas and flavours, this luscious medium-bodied and beautifully balanced nut liqueur has become a bar standard. According to the legend, Frangelico lived three centuries ago in a hilly area bound by the river “Po” in Italy. He lived as a hermit (hence the bottle shape) and through his love of nature and knowledge of its secrets created unique recipes for liqueurs. The most popular one of all was a liqueur made from wild hazelnuts with infusions of berries and flowers to enrich the flavour. The tradition of “Frangelico” was born. 24% alc/vol.

    Other reviews.... Pale golden amber with an a orangish hue. Robust, roasted nut, and mocha aromas. A round, satiny entry leads to a lightly sweet light-to medium-bodied palate with sugar-coated hazelnut, mocha nut fudge, delicate brown spices, and subtle fruitiness. Finishes with a very smooth, delicate fade fade of nuts and frosting. Brilliantly refined with delicate natural roasted nut and spice flavors. A benchmark liqueur.

    $179. 99
    Bottle
    $2159.88 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

    Maintaining the company's traditional styling, the 'handwritten' label and wax sealed stopper reflect Delord's artisanal roots. However, while this variant retains a vintage statement, the label has changed from Bas Armagnac to Vieil Armagnac. The convention is similar to a blend of Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne cognacs being designated as "Fine Champagne Cognac". In Gascony, Vieil Armagnac refers to a blend of two terroirs of the same vintage year, or that the fruit is from Haut Armagnac (often simply stated as "Armagnac". Haut Armagnacs are considered of lesser quality, and less suited to long ageing, which is undeserved, since some can be brilliant). Vieil Armagnacs are typically aged for between 5 to 15 years, though sometimes much longer. Savour it neat or with a splash of water, paired with fresh pastries or semi-soft cheeses. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Bottle
    $2219.88 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

    This family-run distillery in Lannepax continues the pursuit of soft and approachable vintage-dated Armagnacs capable of long maturations. Two alembics are employed, one of which is a Sier dating from 1900. Both are column stills equipped with 'spider plates', ideal for the production of Armagnacs that age gracefully. While most fruit is sourced from the family's 66 hectare vineyard in Bas Armagnac (of which 6 hectares are organic), this expression, simply labelled 'Vieil', presumably includes fruit from other regions in greater Armagnac. Grape varieties remain true to tradition, including Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Folle-Blanche and Baco. Typically aged for between 5 to 15 years, but sometimes much longer, almost any of Delord's vintage-dated offerings will make fine digestifs, pairing beautifully with a cigar, coffee and desserts, as well as specialties such as foie gras and fish snacks. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Light in body yet possessing a dark to black fruit profile with a tightly wound finish.

    Deep dark red core with black toned edges and a red to dark red hue. Unfurling from the glass are lifted aromatics of black cherry, dark plum, ripe strawberry and anise which mix with hints of dried herbs, earth and spice. Light in body yet possessing a dark to black fruit profile led by cherry, strawberry and anise flavours which meld into an earth, dried herb and spice back drop. Tightly wound it has slightly grainy tannins, tense acidity and a spicy medium to long conclusion.
    Cellar 6-8 years.

    This has deeply perfumed aromas of dark cherries, dried rose petals, cocoa beans and pencil as well as Asian spices and citrus peel. Seamlessly integrated tannins and bright acidity cut through a creamy, textural, medium-bodied palate, showing flavors of wild strawberries, ruby grapefruit, damson plums and cinnamon bark. Very poised and tightly wound with a high level of refinement. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

    Barrel fermentation brings added complexity to this generous chardonnay. Peaches, nectarine, citrus and spice with added nuttiness and a touch of honey nougat savouriness are served well, with oak adding weight and chew through the palate. A soft, rolling mouthful of a wine. Drink by 2029.
