    2022 Guigal Cotes du Rhone
    Cotes du Rhone, Southern Rhone, FRANCE
    $26. 99
    Bottle
    $323.88 Dozen
    Cellar: Drink now - 5 Years (2025-2030)
    ABV: 15%
    Closure: Cork

    A bold and juicy Cotes du Rhone that has a chewy mouth feel.

    With an average annual production of around 4 million bottles, this wine is a model of consistency year in year out and one of Cotes du Rhone’s best buys. The 2022 vintage is a blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre sourced from vines with an average age of 35 years. Maturation takes place in oak casks for a period of 18 months.
    Dense black dark red colour with a deep dark red hue. Black raspberry and liquorice scents waft through the nostrils followed by some ripe black cherry, dried herb, earthy incense and pepper notes. Rich, concentrated and lush, the weighty palate is swamped with juicy black raspberry, black cherry and liquorice fruits. A ripe chewy tannin structure imparts a firm, robust mouth feel. Infusions of provincial herbs, scorched earth and pepper the undercard. Long opulently fruited finish.
    Drink over the next 4-5 years.
    Alc. 15%

    Other Reviews….
    The Cotes Du Rhone is smoking good, offering up blackberries, pepper, and garrigue in a round, supple, medium to full-bodied style. Based on 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, and 10% Mourvèdre, partially aged in oak foudres, this impressive effort shows remarkable quality for the appellation.

    Rhum J.M. Jardin Fruite Agricole Rum (700ml)
    MARTINIQUE
    $114. 99
    Bottle
    $1379.88 Dozen
    ABV: 42%

    The first in a series of three cocktail-focused special releases, aka, the "Atelier des Rhums" series. Each explores different flavour profiles achieved through various cask treatments and types. Made from sugarcane pressed within an hour of harvest, open tank fermented with French baker's yeast for 24 hours then aged for 2 years in lightly toasted French and American oak barrels; Jardin Fruité presents a fruit forward style, with a hint of grassy cane reminding you that this is still agricole. It sips well on its own and makes a killer upgrade to any tropical punch or daiquiri variation, but the rum shines brightest in a spirit-forward stirred cocktail like an old-fashioned or Rum Manhattan, the balance of fruit and spice making for a robust and characterful drink. 42% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Bright citrus and fruit aromas lead to a mellow palate with wood, ripe fruit, and grassy undertones. Well-balanced and particularly appreciated for its fruity freshness; a solid choice for those exploring young Agricole rums. - RumX

    1993 Glendronach Single Cask No.5820 Pedro Ximenez Sherry Puncheon 29 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $1199. 00
    Bottle
    $14388.00 Dozen
    ABV: 52.4%

    Featuring thick, dark tones of dried figs, prunes, apricots and dates, PX puncheon #5820 had an outturn of 678 bottles at 52.4% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

    While Glendronach single cask whiskies haven't been explicitly discontinued, they have completely disappeared from the distillery's website. Currently the Australian market has only three lines allocated. It’s said that their rarity is due to limited output and growing demand. That situation is partly due to Glendronach's closure from 1996 to 2002 which impacted the availability of older stock. It would also explain the distillery’s recent re-focus on core range expressions that coincided with a packaging upgrade in 2024. Typically offering outturns of around 600 bottles per cask, the single barrel selections are famous for offering snapshots of a particular cask at a specific point in time, making each one unique.

    Bottle
    $13188.00 Dozen
    ABV: 52.8%

    Described as "Luxurious and full-bodied", single cask #4194 reveals itself in flavours of leather and tobacco, intertwined with vibrant citrus zest; dried blueberries, roasted walnuts and raisins adding a beautiful sweetness. 669 bottles were drawn from a single Oloroso puncheon at 52.8% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

    2023 Tenuta Delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso
    Sicily, ITALY
    $69. 99
    Bottle
    $839.88 Dozen
    ABV: 14%
    Closure: Cork

    It's easy to underestimate the impact the wines of Mount Etna have had over the last 10 years. From near obscurity, to now being some of the most highly sought after wines of Italy, led in part from producers such as Tenuta delle Terre Nere. The winery is owned by the widely acclaimed Marco De Grazia who is one of the winemakers responsible for bringing the wines of Etna to prominence on the world stage.

    The red wines of Etna, produced from predominantly Nerello Mascalese, are often compared to a variety marrying the traits of Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir. Terre Nere take their wines a step further than most, and highlight the cru vineyards of the region with wines made at varying altitudes, along with vines planted on the pure Ellittico lava flow terroir. These delicate, perfumed, and intense wines translate the soil and season like few other wines in the world, and with demand far outweighing supply they are now increasingly hard to secure.

    The brightness, lovely density and focus come through clearly here with an almost pinot sensibility and a long finish. It’s polished with fine tannins and a brilliant texture. Mostly grapes from San Lorenzo and Calderara Sottana vineyards. Drink or hold.

    James Suckling

    The 2023 Etna Rosso seduces with a burst of ripe cherries, cloves and sweet rose aromas. This is an energetic and wickedly fresh effort with a cascade of wild berry fruit and crunchy mineral tones that flow beneath an air of violet inner florals. A coating of fine tannins frames the finish without slowing its momentum as this tapers off with amazing length and a saturation of raspberry. The 2023 aims to please. Drink 2025-2029.

    Rhum J.M. Epices Creoles Agricole Rum (700ml)
    MARTINIQUE
    $124. 99
    Bottle
    $1499.88 Dozen
    ABV: 46%

    Debuting in 2024 and crafted by Master Blender, Karine Lassalle, Épices Créoles is aged for a minimum of 3 years in French and American oak barrels of varying sizes and char levels. The process of toasting the barrels results in a rum that's intensely spicy, but not spiced! 46% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... The nose is full of scintillating spice notes—particularly clove, allspice, and powdered ginger, with a bit of sweet nutmeg and other baking spices—and toasted oak. Tart, floral tropical fruit (mango, papyaya) comes in at the palate, mixed with herbal notes of sage and rosemary. Though it's decidedly fruity, the finish veers toward umami/earthy tones, with a balanced dryness, light to medium richness, and spark of spicy heat. 91 points - distiller.com

    "Really nice agricole. Pepper and spice with a good heat." - rumratings.com

    Notes from the producers... Nose: Delicate on the vanilla pod, honey and warm woody notes. After agitation, subtle notes of gingerbread with cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and ginger appear. Powerful and harmonious, the nose suggests a mouth with a bold character.  Palate: The attack on the palate is powerful on spicy notes: cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, pepper, almost hot pepper… spicy heat gradually gives way to toasted, roasted and almost smoky notes of oak wood. Finish: Captivating the smoky notes with a persistent spicy feel left on the upper lips.

    1999 Signatory Vintage Auchentoshan 24 Year Old Symington's Choice Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Lowlands, SCOTLAND
    $450. 00
    Bottle
    $5400.00 Dozen
    ABV: 55.6%

    Mr. Symington clearly likes his malts matured in First Fill Oloroso butts. Given Auchentoshan's slightly lighter triple distilled spirit, we reckon this will be a 'cask driven' malt (read sherry bomb). Cask No.4 had an outturn of 689 bottles at 55.6% Alc./.Vol. Non chill filtered.

    Other reviews.... All about the sherry and none about the distillate. That’s ok, it’s well done. More umami on this one. Tomato vine, empty soup can, plums for sure. Red berries, but not tart or sour. It’s very good! A little pepper on the back end and a little drying. - whiskybase.com

    1997 Signatory Vintage Macallan 25 Year Old Symington's Choice Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $2999. 00
    Bottle
    $35988.00 Dozen
    ABV: 54.8%

    Signatory’s founder, Andrew Symington was working at the prestigious Prestonfield House Hotel when he bought his first cask of whisky: a 1968 Glenlivet. Today, his good taste has transpired as a series in itself, highlighting his favourite casks from the vast selection housed in the enormous warehouses at Edradour in Pitlochry. The first Symington’s Choice selections were released in 2023 with a focus on heavily sherried single casks aged between 20-35 years old. It's these whiskies that (mostly) make up the current shipment. Subsequent releases will be a little younger, generally 15-20 years old, though still predominantly from first fill sherry casks. Apart from the expected quality, there is a 'wow factor' to the prices that makes each and every one worthy of consideration.

    Obviously matured in a first-fill Oloroso sherry butt, you'd have to go back to the 1980s to discover Macallans as deep and dark as this. We have a small number of bottles from cask 12/3. Serge Valentin from whiskyfun tasted sister cask 12/4 and was impressed. Expections would be similar here. 649 bottles produced. 54.8% Alc./vol. Non chill filtered.

    Notes from a sister cask 12/4... The whisky is almost as dark as the label! Here is a brand new range from Signatory, very high-end, with some pretty extraordinary names like Laphroaig, Bowmore, and indeed, Macallan. The prices seem high, but I'm sure it's worth it and not just marketing hype. At least it's not another NAS with a fancy name and story, straight from ChatGPT or Wikipedia. Colour: coffee. Nose: a pretty wonderful dry sherry, full of Havana tobacco, prunes, dried dates, old walnuts, and hoisin sauce, with an extraordinary fermentary and even slightly acetic side (old balsamic vinegar). We're a bit in the territory of a very old Ténarèze, or of the best of the Macallan 'Gran Reserva' from back in the day. With water: it becomes rather more elegant, almost slightly austere, with a very "grand chocolate from a great house" side. I always find it amusing to hear my Swiss, Belgian, Italian, Spanish or French friends claim that they make the best chocolates in the world. What if it were the Scots, perhaps even Scots from Pitlochry? Mouth (neat): creamy, goes down easily! Well, almost, there's still a lot of thickness, a syrupy texture, liquorice and pipe tobacco, a bit of tar, lots of dried prunes, Corinth raisins, precious molasses (if it existed), then peppermint and very chocolatey toffee... With water: it peacocks and goes fractal, with lots of spices, dried fruits, organic matter, and various old liqueurs. Alright, let's finish it, we don't have all day... Finish: long as a day without bread and indeed, rather on very damp pumpernickel, chocolate, and competition fruitcake (we have the winner). Comments: a real hit, after Signatory's sublime range of '30th Anniversary Bottlings' of three or five years ago. Come on, let's store it in its bottle for twenty more years to try to reach 95/100, then we'll talk about it again. What's sure is that this is Macallan as in 'Macallan', that is to say In compliance with what is written on the label of the bottle that follows... 93 points - whiskyfun.com

    With six years bottle age behind it the palate remains remarkably sharp and focused.

    Brilliant water like core with gleaming green tinged edges. Pronounced lime, Granny Smith apple and lemon butter aromas mix with some waxy notes, oily steel and toast. With six years bottle age behind it the palate remains remarkably sharp and focused with lemon, lime and Granny Smith apple fruits interplaying with steely mineral, faint oily toast and subtle waxy elements.

    Well, I think I got the full name right here. From the Murphy vineyard I believe, on Wilderness Road.
    Lime and lemongrass, a honey toast thing, bright and juicy, excellent flavour with a gentle chalky grip, has weight but it’s nicely balanced and the finish is very long. This is excellent. Right in the slot, though no hurry. Drink 2024-2034+

    Gary Walsh – The Wine Front

    Only five years young, that extra time has certainly done its thing. A superb wine, I had the luxury of tasting this De Iuliis Aged Release Single Vineyard Semillon alongside its newly released 2024 sibling and it was quite the treat to see where things are at. Go here.
    There is still plenty of energy within and the slight toasty character expected with age is starting to show its hand. Honey tones are seeping through too, with lemons and limes not far from the action, albeit not as vibrant but there is still some zip. A sip slow and consider type of wine, match this with the textural splendour of scallops and heaven awaits. This will live comfortably for at least another decade. Superb stuff indeed. Drink to 2034+

    The 2023 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett initially presents a reductive funk that takes time to dissipate, allowing only brief glimpses of green apple to peep through. However, the palate is superbly sprightly, vividly light and lemony fresh, skipping along light-heartedly without a care in the world. It airily and charmingly spreads its lemony perfume and charm. A quintessential, elfin Kabinett. Drink 2026-2056.

    This Mosel riesling kabinett is a miniature masterpiece of delicacy. I love the aromas of wildflowers and herbs that are married to a wealth of mineral nuances on the light- to medium-bodied palate. Although a hint of sweetness is perceptible, this has quite a firm core, yet is very filigreed at the long, pristine finish. Drink or hold.

    Super elegant and super filigreed, with ravishing aromas of honeysuckle, white peaches and Asian pears, this is a very sophisticated and polished wine for this category.

    The 2023 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese is still a little reductive. A slight dried herbal frisson plays around tender yellow plum notes on the shy nose.

    Still quite closed and tightly wound, this firmly structured Mosel riesling spatlese needs some time for the fruit aromas to unfurl. Excellent concentration and delicacy of flavor in a more forthrightly mineral direction than the spring-like classics from the neighboring Wehlener Sonnenuhr. A long-distance runner that demands some patience. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

    The 2023 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese is concentrated and very intense on the fruit-driven, deep and spicy nose. The wine is very elegant and refined on the dense and seriously structured, salivating palate that is a promise for the future and endlessly salty in the present. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 08 24 in January 2025. Drink 2030-2070.

    The 2023 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese opens with a serene, stony, salty slaty breeze. The palate is exquisitely fine and very bright, luminous even, soaring upward as it reaches down into the slate, embodying the total elegance of the site. Slenderness and serenity are exemplary. Drink 2028-2060.

    The sensuous curves of Art Nouveau design and joyful flourishes of rococo both give an idea of what Mosel riesling elegance means, but in a masterpiece like this it takes on a totally distinctive feeling unlike anything else on Planet Wine. The white peach fruit, white flower aromas and slatey minerality all tingle on your palate, then flicker on and on in a totally fascinating manner in the nearly endless finish. The touch of sweetness is already beautifully integrated, although the wine just began a decades-long life. Drink or hold.

    The 2023 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese is clear, deep, intense and fresh on the complex and still reductive nose. Rich and lush on the concentrated palate, this is a dense and savory, textured and rich Auslese with saline grip and good tension, but it's currently pretty closed and not really singing, even with a certain astringency (from a second bottle). 8% stated alcohol.

    This fabulous Auslese lays out a whole basket of exotic fruit before you. The almost supernatural freshness is no less exciting. Terrific tension between the two, the acidity giving this great brilliance on the extremely precise, medium-bodied palate. The finish almost perfectly balances the restrained richness and intense wet-stone minerality. Limited production. Still very youthful, but how can you resist the beauty? Drink or hold.

    The 2023 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese, made virtually without botrytis from fully ripe grapes, offers a shy tone of stone and yeast. The palate features Mirabelle jelly with lovely overtones of lemon balm and fern, wonderfully cut by freshness with a pithy, zesty edge of lime and mainly pale lemon. The finish resembles lemon and yellow plum sorbet, exquisitely fresh and palate-cleansing, yet with exquisite sweetness. Incredibly fine, slender and so balanced. Drink 2028-2060.

    This youthful Mosel riesling Auslese has a vibrancy and precision that is often missing in these wines, blanketed by thick botrytis richness. I love the mint and chamomile freshness that pulls you into this juicy and concentrated wine and also make it very filigreed on the medium-bodied palate. Incredible precision and subtlety in the super-long finish. Try to be patient, because this is a marathon runner. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

    Welcome to the peak of Mosel filigree in a category where most consumers only expect honeyed richness. Pure silk on the medium-bodied palate, where the great concentration slowly creeps up on you, building to a fantastic crescendo with a pink grapefruit freshness that’s unique in this category. You can drink it now, but then you will miss some of the greatness that’s still locked inside this treasure chest. Drink or hold.

    The pale hue in the glass hints at the grenache dominance (77%), which came off 40-year-old vines on the home Bracken vineyard in Blewitt Springs, with the shiraz (19%) and mataro (4%) from the Wait vineyard. Those smaller components structure and add a little brood and dried herb, but they are backup singers to the redcurrant, cherry, wild raspberry, rose petal and cranberry of the main act. It’s a good arrangement, with upfront appeal and a mineral-inflected structure on a medium-framed but impactful wine. Drink by 2028.

    Fermented with 15% whole bunches, with seven days total on skins; six months in seasoned oak. Fragrant and supple, with sour black cherry, wild raspberry, goji, pressed flowers and hardy Mediterranean herbs, this is an excellent expression of the grape. Hitting mid-weight and savoury, absent any confection, which can sometimes dog the variety, this is so adroitly made, picked at the right time and avoiding any showiness by using winemaking tools to frame, not control, with the line of fine and ripe, sandy tannins underlining its class. Nailed it. Drink by 2030.

    Vividly fragrant, featuring notes of black pepper and crushed dark fruit. It has a more pronounced tannin structure than is characteristic of Langi’s single vineyards.

    A brilliant and bright Shiraz shows the elegance and sleek style of this region. Spicy cherry and plummy characters emerge on the nose with just a little black pepper character.

    $2399.88 Dozen
    ABV: 38%

    First released in 1995 to celebrate the company's 200th birthday, José Cuervo Reserva de la Familia pioneered the category of extended age Tequila. Matured for a minimum of two years in a combination of American and French oak barrels, some of the reserve components are up to thirty years old. The tequila itself which has been described as "rich and brandy-like" doesn't change much from year to year. And just as consistency has become its hallmark, so too has been its high praise. What does change annually is the packaging, with a different Mexican artist making each release a collector’s item. 

    In 2023 the box has been designed by artists Rolando Flores and Gabriel Cázares of the Mexico-based Tercerunquinto Collective. The custom art titled “Structuring a Landscape”, features a geometric abstraction of the landscape of Jalisco.

    [2017 edition tasted from a 20ml sample] Pale copper gold. The bouquet combines blanco-like vibrancy with the kind of depth you'd expect from XO cognac - brine, charred capsicum, smoldering eucalyptus, beeswax, vanilla and menthol... with air contact, it also presents a drier, woody aspect including cigar box, cedar and white pepper. Likewise the silky delivery matches sappy agave and butter menthol lozenge-like flavours against drying astringency. It's delicate and somewhat fleeting through the finish, trailing off with black tea, potpourri, white pepper, hints of grilled pineapple, vanilla and trace beeswax. The overall effect strikes a fine balance between young and old. [40% Alc./Vol. tasted]

    Supple and moreish, this is seductive Yarra Valley Pinot at it’s best.

    Situated in the picturesque Yarra Valley, Coldstream Hills was established in 1985 by James and Suzanne Halliday.

Maturation took place in a combination of seasoned and new French oak for a period of 8 months.
    Dark red core with black shaded edges and a red to dark red hue. Perfumed like nose with aromas of violet, dark cherry, strawberry and anise followed by hints of spicy cedar, dried herbs and forest floor. Moreish red to dark cherry, strawberry and subtle anise flavours are supplely draped across the palate.

    Some whole bunches and matured in a combination of seasoned and new oak (25%). A very bright crimson. Gorgeous aromatics redolent of picked red cherries, wild strawberry and potpourri.

That it's so well priced is the icing on the cake. Drink by 2031.

    The quirky name has some context to it, the wine sourced from two vineyards in different regions, one in Kersbrook (Adelaide Hills) and the other in Blewitt Springs (McLaren Vale), both of which sit under a larger official appellation known as the Adelaide zone. The name also refers to winemaker Ben Riggs’s love of the Montepulciano in Italy’s Abruzzo region, and his desire to create a worthy South Australian reflection. That he has – a vibrant wine nose to tail, of sun-kissed violet flowers with an underlayer of dusty cellars, toast and blackberry conserve, the palate echoing its aromatics, rich yet balanced, an exotic spicy feel threaded within the flavour profile. A fruit-forward style in a modern frame – tasty to the hilt.

    Rich, lush and sturdy with distinct choc mint characters.

    On the Wing is the entry level wine from Tim McNeil that takes its name from Tim's hey days in the late 1980’s as a young footballer sporting a blonde mullet, playing on the wing for the mighty Norwood Redlegs.
    Super saturated pitch black heart with an equally deep dark purple black hue. Potent ripe black cherry, liquorice and blackberry liqueur like scents waft from the glass followed by some choc mint, vanillin cedar and spice notes.

    A 45/25/25/5% merlot/cabernet franc/cabernet sauvignon/malbec blend. Made using open top fermenters and matured in older French oak. A light–medium bright crimson red. Smells appealing from the get-go with its lifted aromas of cherries and raspberries, some floral notes and a little fragrant tomato leaf. Medium bodied with some gently grippy and persistent tannins. My advice is to drink with food now, or wait another six to 12 months for the wine to open up and soften a little. Drink by 2028.

    Aged on lees; barrel fermentation in seasoned French oak. Varietally true and expressive from that first whiff of honeysuckle, citrus and white peach. Offers a ripe, deep dive into marsanne where citrus and stone fruit flavours are tied nicely to subtle nougat, almond and textural beeswax leesy notes. Well defined in its youth, it can only improve with age. Drink by 2031.

    A light, bright crimson red. A highly perfumed nose of strawberries, cranberries, rose petal and light incense notes. Light to medium bodied, this gentle and well-crafted wine builds nicely in intensity across the palate. The tannins are discreet and persistent, and this will continue to blossom over the next few years. Drink 2024 - 2029.
