2012 Claxton's Exploration Series Deanston 11 Year Old Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 50%

A young Deanston that's benefited from time in an Oloroso Sherry barrique. For a start, it smells older than it is; the nose has a reserved, dryish malty character, with subtle leather and tobacco mingling amongst the dried fruits. Unexpectedly mouth filling, medium to full bodied, though never aggressive. Creamy notes of tea biscuits are set against a subtle fruity character (orange zest? Ripe papaya?) Good length, ending drier, the oak encroaching. 50% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered. Tasted from a 50ml sample.
Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Barley sugar. Biscuit. Vanilla. Oak. Palate: Sweet vanilla. Shortbread. Toasted barley. Finish: Oaky-sweet finish with a vanilla aftertaste.

Springbank 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - 2024 bottling

Campbeltown, SCOTLAND
$799. 00
Bottle
$9588.00 Dozen

ABV: 46%

"This is riiiight up my alley... either Springbank 18 is evolving, or it’s me. Or, well, perhaps both." - whiskyfun.com
The all-Bourbon matured 18 year old makes a return to our shelves with the annual 2024 edition just landed. The last time Serge Valentin from whiskyfun tasted this expression was back in 2020. As noted from his most recent tasting below, these bottlings seem to be getting better and better. The producers note honeyed granola, fruit gums, pear drops and tropical fruits. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... A freshly bottled edition, August 2024. A sign of the times, you’ll currently find Springbank 18 priced anywhere between €350 and €750 from online retailers, or from €250 on eBay. Of course, this doesn’t change the quality of the liquid one bit. The last one we tasted was the 2020 edition, very good (WF 86) but a far cry from our favourite, the 10-year-old (WF 91 last time) or the younger Local Barleys (also 91). And it's far superior to the ‘Red’, about which we’ll remain silent. Colour: straw. Nose: surprising, heading in the direction of the 10-year-old, with plenty of wet chalk, raw wool, sourdough, aspirin tablets, even bandages, followed by lemon zest, paraffin, a hint of seawater, and traces of tar. This is riiiight up my alley. Mouth: oilier and saltier on the palate, with peat, ashes, a touch of green apple liqueur, and that persistent wet chalk that’s a bit reminiscent of ‘natural’ champagnes. A lovely green pepper then appears, accompanied by small bits of candied lemon, which I find particularly ‘Springbank’. Finish: long, saline, peppery, with fine bitterness and ash, and then paraffined lemon in the aftertaste. Comments: well, either Springbank 18 is evolving, or it’s me. Or, well, perhaps both. 90 points - whiskyfun.com
On the nose very much determined by the bourbon barrel: Ripe yellow fruit, vanilla and flower meadow. Accompanied by very subtle smoke. A wonderfully complex nose. Lots of bright yellow fruits are again present on the tongue. There is also a spicy eucalyptus note and plenty of complexity. A wonderful whisky. Springbank and 100% bourbon simply work brilliantly. One of the best whiskies I've had the pleasure of drinking so far. - whiskybase.com
Notes from the producers... Nose: Tropical fruits are at the forefront in notes of papaya and pineapple. There is a malty, dried barley note, with vanilla and custard creams. Palate: Notes of golden syrup and honeyed granola emerge on the palate, along with fruit gums, pear drops and butter icing. Finish: The tropical fruits carry through to the finish, with the addition of a herbaceous, gorse note and a touch of sea salt.

Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - 26th Release

Campbeltown, SCOTLAND
$399. 00
Bottle
$4788.00 Dozen

ABV: 56.2%

Springbank's twelve year old cask strength edition has been on the market for about twelve years. Releases have not always been to schedule. In some years, just one bottling was offered. Due to its growing popularity, Springbank has settled on two annual releases. Batch 26 is the second offering for 2024 and comes matured in 60% bourbon casks, 35% sherry casks and 5% rum casks. Oily, sweet peat and rich barley combine in what is for many the definitive bottling from this distillery, preferred even over older age statements. Always a big whisky, it's reported that the deeper colour indicates they're now using more fresh, first-fill sherry, which should further up the flavour profile. 56.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... A beauty and not something to be rushed. I have a couple of open editions from previous years and I considered a comparison, but what’s the point? It’s not like we can go out and choose which to pick up. Each batch is a wee bit different, sure, but they’re all on a similar theme and every one is something to cherish. Even the ‘lesser’ celebrated batches are excellent and always interesting; bold and full on... Something special. - dramface.com
Notes from the producers... Nose: Toffee apple sweetness kicks off this cask strength whisky, along with notes of parma ham, hazelnut and marzipan. Palate: Rich and syrupy on the palate, there are notes of tinned peaches, fruit syrup, honeycomb and milk chocolate. Finish: Subtle peat smoke emerges in the finish, along with notes of heather honey and orange rind.

2007 Claxton's Exploration Series Strathclyde 16 Year Old Single Cask Single Grain Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Lowlands, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 50%

For a whisky style that's naturally on the sweeter side, this grain has survived time in a Pedro Ximenez sherry barrique without falling flat. A vague pear/apple fruitiness adds freshness to the nose; the flavours come with a mild alcohol flare and notes of cream soda, sponge cake, vanilla, milk chocolate plus late hints of dates. As an experiment in maturation, it has succeeded in fattening up to malt-standards what otherwise might have been a relatively thin affair. Hardly complex, but impressively textural for grain of this ilk. 50% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. Tasted from a 50ml sample.
Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Aniseed. Creamy. Hint of fennel. Sweet mint. Vanilla pod. Palate: Rich vanilla with crème brulee. More aniseed, slightly herbal. Finish: Custard, creamy finish. Lots of vanilla, raisins and icing sugar.

Other Reviews….
Earns top marks for elegance at a (reasonably) tiny $25 price tag. Well defined, fine-edged tannins provide structure and the perfect background for the fruit and spice that follows in blackberry, red plum, clove, chocolate panforte, nutmeg and a wealth of lovely, indulgent spice. A good follow up to the elegant ’22 with well-handled, discreet oak a feature across the medium bodied palate. As with the ’22, the ’23 is more refined all round and good to see the price remains the same. Drink 2024-2031.

2024 Tapanappa Tiers Vineyard 1.5m Chardonnay

Piccadilly Valley, Adelaide Hills, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$84. 99
Bottle
$1019.88 Dozen

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

ABV: 13.7%

Closure: Stelvin

Rich and mouth coating yet energetic with a long driving finish.
In 2003, the Croser family removed 1.3 hectares of the original Tiers Vineyard Chardonnay that was planted in 1979 in the Piccadilly Valley as the first Adelaide Hills vineyard. The area was replanted with the French Bernard clones 76 and 95 on rootstocks, on very close 1.5 metre row spacing with the fruiting wire at only 0.5 metres above the ground. This unique vineyard section produces earlier ripening, fuller flavoured Chardonnay than the old vine Chardonnay on its own roots, across the centre road in Tiers Vineyard.
Brilliant pale straw colour with green tinged edges and a watery hue. Delightful aromas of white peach and nectarine draped with dried honey sail through the nostrils trailed by some citrusy nougat, whiffs of crème brulee and delicate cashew notes. Rich, concentrated fleshy white peach, ripe nectarine, dried honey and citrusy nougat flavours engulf the palate with a mouth coating textural feel. Crème brulee, biscuit and delicate spicy cashew elements sit in the background. Showing outstanding drive, energetic acidity lends a fresh feel to the long, cream tinged finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Other Reviews…..
Fruit is picked from a close-planted block that was planted in '03. This is wonderful chardonnay – all finesse, tension, filigreed minerality, light, savoury undertones and pristine, bright green pear, nectarine and pink grapefruit freshness. Touches of nougat, sea spray and green almond in the mesh of characters here. A suggestion of flint and wet slate lend credence and complexity, too. Very precise and energetic, and extends long in flavour and persistence of minerality. Class act. Drink by 2035.

Mike Bennie – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
From a close planted block established in 2003. Bernard clones 76 and 95. It’s distinctly different to the Tiers old vine Chardonnay as a result, and I tend to think it’s the clonal selection that’s the biggest point of difference.
Pear, grapefruit, green banana, almond biscotti and spice, bread dough and some honey/floral perfume, with just a tiny bit of matchstick. It’s juicy and flavoursome, but tight in acidity, with a distinctly flinty texture, along with a creamy nougat richness, and a tight citrus finish of excellent length. Wonderful wine. Drink 2025-2034+
95 Points
Gary Walsh – The Wine Front
The close spaced planting of this part of the Tiers vineyard imparts a slightly different flavour and textural feel to the Chardonnays from the old Tiers plantings. Intense aromas of tropical fruits, brioche and spices. The palate is ripe and textured although the chalky acid and light citrus edge hold the definition and line through to the long finish. Supremely balanced with the oak and fruit integration seamless and refined. Excellent wine. Drink 2025-2037.

2023 Domaine Metrat et Fils La Belle Coudriere Moulin a Vent

Beaujolais, FRANCE
$36. 99
Bottle
$443.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 4 Years (2025-2029)

ABV: 13%

Closure: Stelvin

Juicy fruits with ripe, slightly chewy tannins, bright acidity and a fleshy spiced dried herb laced finish of ample length.
From 60+ year old vines located just across the valley to the north of the winery not far from the famous windmill of Moulin a Vent. The vines here are east facing in granite soil and Moulin a Vent has a high presence of manganese which gives the wine its Moulin a Vent identity. This vineyard is slightly lower on the slope than his holding right in the centre of La Roilette (which sits adjacent to Moulin a Vent and which historically was considered part of Moulin a Vent), and close to the family winery less than 1km away. Always among the richest and deepest of wines with more structure and ageing capacity this cuvee is particularly successful in 2023 with the tannic structure of the wine well covered by the ripeness and fleshy generosity of the vintage. The harvest is all by hand with selection and sorting in the vineyard and winery. Maceration is carried out on 100% whole bunch fermenting semi-carbonic with indigenous yeasts lasting between 15 and 20 days on skins. The grapes are pressed then settled with fermentation continuing for 8 to 10 days, at 18 degrees to trigger the malolactic process. Aging lasts 18 months: 50% in 5-year-old oak barrels and 50% in vats.
Deep dark red black tinged core with a dark red hue. Aromas of ripe strawberry and morello cherry infused with dried herbs mix with some earthy incense and spice like notes. Juicy morello cherry and strawberry fruits are interwoven with earthy dried herb and spicy incense like elements. Ripe, slightly chewy tannins with bright acidity and a fleshy spiced dried herb laced finish of ample length.

A lovely, engaging riesling that is at once delicate while boasting impressive fruit concentration.

Well composed, lightly textured and chalky-fine, it is carried along on a super fresh acid line. Another good 'un from a top riesling maker.

2024 Tapanappa Tiers Vineyard Chardonnay

Piccadilly Valley, Adelaide Hills, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$95. 00
Bottle
$1140.00 Dozen

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

ABV: 14.1%

Closure: Stelvin

Rich, spicy and textural, this a remarkably powerful yet refined Chardonnay that shows a Burgundy like finesse and complexity.
Located in the Piccadilly Valley within the Adelaide Hills region, Brian Croser’s Tiers vineyard was planted in 1979 making it the first in the region. It is perfectly suited to Chardonnay being a closely matched homo-clime of Burgundy, especially the southern end of the Cotes de Beaune where the great wines of Montrachet and Meursault are grown. Fermented in French oak barriques (one third new) the wine was then aged on full lees until November 2024.
Brilliant very pale straw colour with highlights of green around the edges and a watery hue. Elevated white peach, pear and nectarine aromas flood the nostrils complimented by some subtle dried honey, biscuity nougat, cashew and infusions of gun flint. Rich, spicy and textural, the medium to full bodied palate is flush with white peach, pear and nectarine fruits which show terrific intensity and purity. Fresh, chalky acidity lends focus. Dried honey, nougat, subtle crème brulee, wet stone and gun flint elements unwind across the back half. Remarkably powerful yet refined it finishes exceptionally long with a Burgundy like finesse and complexity.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 14.1%
Other Reviews…..
The 2024 Tiers Vineyard Chardonnay always ratchets up the fruit power and intensity from all other Chardonnays, both at Tapanappa and in the Adelaide Hills region at large. This usually gives us a thundering display of concentration and phenolic drive, and this 2024 iteration is no exception to that long-established rule. There are notes of crushed and salted nuts, saffron, Golden Delicious apples, nougat and oyster shell/shale with a scintillating acid line. I still quietly wonder to myself if we are seeing these wines too young. However, it then becomes up to us to exercise some restraint when selecting our drinking windows. For me, this wine will be at its best a couple of years from now and into the long future ahead. May we all age so gracefully. 14.1% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2027-2037.

Erin Larkin – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
This has to rank up there with the best of the Tiers Vineyard Chardies yet released. It was an ever so slightly warmer vintage than the previous and this is reflected in the depth and fruit concentration expressed with relative opulence. Lots of nectarine, and cashew with a spicy pear edge to it. The fine chalky acid really holds the tension ensuring a defined and exceptionally long finish. A dry savoury and tight subtle astringency on the finish provides the final flourish to an outstanding wine. Drink 2025-2037.

Coming off a range of sites of older vines, this is a bold expression in the range, though the cooler year turns the volume down. The oak is French and American, with 25% new (down from 40% prior), but it leaves its thumbprint, with char, vanilla and clove spicing across a full and rich, though not overly saturated, canvas of brambly berry and plum fruits, along with a little salted chocolate. Built for a loyal cohort, this satisfies the brief. Drink by 2030.

Brilliant water like core with highlights of green around the outskirts. Lime juice and green apple scents jump out of the glass followed by some lemon, chalky talc and steely mineral notes. Zippy lime, lemon and Granny Smith apple fruits are delivered with terrific intensity over a wet steel and chalky mineral back drop. Superb drive with crunchy acidity leading into a long scrumptious finish.

Too easy to kick back and relax with this juicy and tangy drink. It’s lightly aromatic with lemon blossom and beeswax, plenty of citrus flavour, aniseed and a touch of ginger, yet a gentle offering. Plenty of fine acidity caressing the palate with some sweetness rounding it out.

2022 Poggerino Chianti Classico

Cellar: Drink now - 5 Years (2025-2030)

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Diam Cork

A medium bodied Chianti Classico that combines fabulous richness with a robust structure.
Located in the commune of Radda, Piero Lanza and his sister, Benedetta, took over the estate from their father in the mid 1980’s and have extensively renovated the vineyards. The wines are typically full and rich yet retain beautiful elegance and perfumed fruit. They taste like Chianti should and they are always good, even in lesser years. The attention to detail in the vineyard verges on fanatical, with biodynamic farming, careful clonal selection, close planted vines, nitrogenous cover crops, extensive canopy management and hand picking to ensure the best possible combination of concentration, acidity and ripe tannins. Wild yeast fermentation, modern winemaking techniques and French oak for maturation complete the process. The resulting wine reflects these labours and is a beautifully balanced and perfumed style of Chianti.
A 100% Sangiovese aged in French barrique and tonneaux for 12 months. Inky black core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Ripe red to black currant and liquorice aromas mix with earth, dried herb and spicy tobacco notes. Possessing fabulous richness and a robust structure the medium bodied palate is flooded with ripe red to black currant and liquorice fruits. Dusty earth, spicy cedar, subtle tobacco elements and traces of leather sit below. Muscular tannins finishing long, ripe and chewy.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

Cherry, raspberry, blood orange and floral aromas and flavors come together in this vibrant red. Offers earth, Mediterranean herb and oak spice hints, while assertive tannins leave a firm grip. Best from 2026 through 2033.

Wine Spectator
Once again, Poggerino’s Piero Lanza puts out one of the most successful annata of the vintage thus far. His 11 hectares in Radda sit mainly on Galestro soil with an underpinning of clay rather than sand, giving seriously structured wines. Dense fruit and spice greet the nose, with glossy dark red cherry, mint and cinnamon following through on the palate. Impressive substance is backed up by chewy, layered tannins, gracious rather than austere, dissolving slowly into the crunchy currants that draw out the finish. Vibrant and impressive. Drink 2024-2031.

2013 Claxton's Exploration Series Ardmore 10 Year Old Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$139. 99
Bottle
$1679.88 Dozen

ABV: 50%

It seems that every indie has an Ardmore nowadays, so why not stand out and take it to the next level? Here, a PX cask has thickened up the profile to a remarkable degree of plump, stewed fruitiness, augmenting Ardmore's smoke which attains the guise of bbq sauce. With all the stewed fruits, rallying spices and sherry input, the mouthfeel gets a little heavy by the finish, yet the sugars never overwhelm. A fabulously viscous malt and a freaky Ardmore. It should captivate Islay fans. 50% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. Tasted from a 50ml sample.
Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Rich oak char. BBQ burnt ends. Sweet heather bonfire notes. Palate: Rich and full. Heavy sherry notes. Stewed fruits. Sweet smoke. Finish: Sweet smoke with overripe stewed fruit skins and syrup

We have featured this estate’s Reserve Shiraz many times over the years with great success. This wine is their flagship offering, matured for 18 months in new French oak hogsheads with only the very best barrels selected to make it into the final blend. From the outstanding 2018 vintage and with some decent bottle age behind it, this represents a terrific buy at half its normal price.
A dense, large scaled Barossa Shiraz that’s decadently rich yet firmly structured.
Totally impenetrable inky black heart with a very deep dark red black hue. Wafting out of the glass with great potency are dark to black plum, liquorice and black cherry scents which are trailed by some toasty vanillin oak, earthy mocha and spice notes. About as dense as a wine can get, the large scaled, blockbuster palate is saturated with decadently rich dark to black plum, liquorice and blackberry fruits which are firmly framed by a muscular tannin structure. Lending further interest are spicy vanillin oak, earthy mocha and subtle peppered fennel elements. Exceptionally concentrated and powerful, it concludes long and opulent yet maintains a robust feel.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

The fruit for the Estate Shiraz comes from their Gomersal Vineyard in the Barossa Valley with 12 days fermenting on skins and then a year and a half maturing in new French oak hogsheads. Barrel selection led to 705 six-packs. Again, cracking value and a real step up. A superb vintage which now has a few years under its belt, all adding to the complexity. Opaque magenta, the nose gives black fruits, mocha, dry herbs, chocolate, espresso and cassis. A little sweet oak is evident as well. This is beautifully structured, very long with silky cashmere tannins. There is focus, weight, balance and length here. Utterly delicious, to enjoy over the next eight to twelve years. Drink 2024-2036.

1998 A.D. Rattray Vintage Cask Collection Auchentoshan 25 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Lowlands, SCOTLAND
$499. 00
Bottle
$5988.00 Dozen

ABV: 56.9%

A serious age statement from what is one of the few remaining Lowland distilleries and the only one practising triple distillation for its entire range. This brand has seen a huge growth in sales and popularity in the last decade, so no wonder it made it into this bottler's premium collection. Rattray's chairman, Tim Morrison, played a key role in the history of Auchentoshan through its purchase in 1984 by Stanley P. Morrison (latterly Morrison Bowmore Distillers). Subsequently acquired by Suntory, the Japanese influence on distillation is evident here, with elegant notes of green tea and white nut, underpinned by bold, ripe fruit flavours.164 bottles were filled from a single Bourbon hogshead. 56.9% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Notes from the bottlers... Colour: Brilliant ochre. Nose: Tahitian vanilla, flaked almond and tangerine slice. Palate: Sweet orange marmalade, juicy mango and crystallised ginger. Finish: Green tea and cashew nut when the waves of tropical fruit subside.

Islay, SCOTLAND
$199. 99
Bottle
$2399.88 Dozen

ABV: 56.8%

One of Scotland’s most revered distilleries may be better known both for its lightly peated output and sherry maturation, but there’s a fair amount of know-how on Islay when it comes to more liberally peated makes. Here, the first fill bourbon barrel offsets any overly drying ash, forging notes of coffee and chocolate amid the mineral, smoke and citrus. In Rattray's words, it's "frankly stunning whisky." 242 bottles were filled at 56.8% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.
Notes from the bottlers... Colour: Sunset gold. Nose: Earthy peat, smoked nectarine and salted dark chocolate. Palate: Rock oyster, charred vanilla bean and orange oil. Finish: Mouth-coating slickness, lifted by bright citrus and a subtle twist of ginger.

2011 A.D. Rattray Cask Collection Dailuaine 12 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 57.3%

A first fill bourbon barrel offers accelerated wood impact compared with more widely used refill hogsheads, due to the richer oak, and higher surface-to-liquid ratio. Arguably, however, accelerated maturation is only possible with a robust style like the meaty make of Dailuaine. Its distillate is not easily overpowered and balances the vanilla sweetness with a profound savoury element. This example has keynotes of citrus fruit and sweet nuts. Cask 800471 yielded 241 bottles at a natural strength of 57.3% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Notes from the bottlers... Colour: Yellow gold. Nose: Bright tangerine, vanilla custard and toasted marshmallow. Palate: Desiccated coconut, ginger snap and brioche loaf. Finish: Thick, oozy honey lifted by tart citrus and gentle cinnamon.
If unusual aromas and flavours are what you seek from a whisky, then single casks are the place to find them. Beyond the fruity esters and the softening sweetness imparted by oak that distillers like to amplify, seasoned drammers relish the road less travelled. Their eyes light up to the smell of sweaty leather or burlap sacks or birthday candles. Master distillers may cringe, yet these weird and wacky side notes are what keeps whisky interesting. Of course, it would be a brave decision for any major distillery to release thousands of cases of anything exhibiting flavours that some might consider to be “off” notes. But for an independent bottler, the tiny quantities involved in a single cask make releasing whiskies that may be deemed out of character much less risky. That's why many of A.D.Rattray's single cask picks cater to the curious, often valuing intrigue over perfection. In stock evaluations they often note casks as “flawless” - a technical assessment of quality, but on its own, not necessarily high praise from Rattray. Everything is there, but where is the hook? Can a whisky be too balanced? In fact, it's not unusual for Rattray to overlook casks that simply aren’t interesting enough, rather than reject them for exhibiting peculiar notes. For drinkers who share their passion, this is the collection for you.

Although situated within the Speyside region, traditional methods of production at Balmenach yield a spirit more classically Highland in nature.

As usual, there’s plenty to enjoy with Craiglee chardonnay even if this is somewhat closed. It’s in a youthful stage and more time in bottle will ensure another layer of complexity. If you don’t want to wait, expect Meyer lemon, grapefruit pith and ginger spice. It feels almost pared back with seamless integrated oak and a soupçon of nutty lees. Savoury, textural and lively acidity throughout. Drink by 2033.

$1679.88 Dozen

ABV: 58.8%

Reliably of high quality and only moderately peated, without the more medicinal elements of its counterparts on Islay, Ardmore is increasingly being given the spotlight by indies. Rattray afforded this one two more years in refill bourbon wood than its sister cask (#800650) for a riper fruit character and a more rounded mouthfeel. The resulting whisky exhibits primary notes of sweet nutty malt, hints of tropical fruit, smoke and mineral. The outturn was 252 bottles at 58.8% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Notes from the bottlers... Colour: Butterscotch gold. Nose: Velvet mesquite honey, roast almond and maple wood smoke. Palate: Sweet, nutty peat, grilled apricot and caraway seed. Finish: Charred pineapple with a pinch of cinnamon and brown sugar.

A refined, airy Champagne with crisp acidity and a long, dry, chalk tinged finish.

Collection 245 is the 5th release of the new multi-vintage cuvée which replaces the Brut Premier. The Collection 245 shares the same philosophy as the Jacquesson 7 series and Krug’s Edition wines, which are based on a younger vintage blended with some older reserve wines.
Pours with an enthusiastically buoyant mousse which slowly dissipates into a pale straw coloured base that has an exceptionally fine bead flowing through it. Pear, baked bread and brioche like aromas sail through the nostrils with some citrus and yeast lees notes also evident. Stimulating pear, citrus and yeast lees flavours decorate the mouth with some baked bread and faint cashew in the background. Refined, airy feel with crisp acidity and a long, dry, chalk tinged finish.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

Part of a new collection that’s just reaching the market now, the NV Champagne Collection 245 is based on the 2020 vintage. (The trilogy of vintages in the collection are from the early ripening 2018, which is lighter and fruitier, the 2019, which is richer and more powerful, and the 2020, which is somewhere in between the other two.) The blend of the 245 is 41% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir, and the rest Meunier. It has a reflective straw hue and offers notes of fresh almond, bread dough, and fresh flowers. Medium-bodied on the palate, with a fruity nature, it’s crunchy and fresh in the glass, with a lovely chalky texture, good refinement, a note of fresh nectarine, and a clean finish. Dry, but with a delicate rounded feel and some depth throughout, it opens to show more of its salinity and the delicate reductive smoke that frames the wine with oyster shell-like umami character. It’s approachable now but will age with ease.

The NV Collection 245 is another stellar Champagne from Roederer. Apricot, white flowers, spice, white pepper and tangerine oil all open in the glass. This is a more open-knit style from Roederer. The blend is 41% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 24% Meunier based in 2020, but with 35% reserve wines from a perpetual reserve of previous editions and 10% reserve wines in oak, meaning the base vintage is not particularly evident. Dosage is 7 grams per liter, but it feels a bit higher than that. Drink 2024-2034.

Restrained green apple, lemon bush and lime, plus light brioche and chalk. Medium to full body with fine, nicely persistent bubbles and good substance on the mid-palate. Almost biting yet polished at the end, with long, refreshing acidity. Lacks a bit of complexity at the moment, but fresh. Best from 2025.

Particularly revered in Japan, in recent years, more effort has gone into marketing Glenburgie as a single malt and sales have increased significantly. Ex-bourbon wood is the perfect platform for this characterful Speyside spirit. The traits which make Glenburgie so highly-prized for blenders - aromatic and grassy, with orchard fruits, a cereal sweetness and oily mouthfeel – are all in abundance in this edition.

Always an important contributor to the Bells blend, as a single we like Blair Athol with a bit of sherry, and in this case, the bottlers seem to feel likewise. In the interests of openness and transparency, Rattray aim to be as precise as possible on their labels, noting here a second maturation in 1st fill Oloroso for 34 months. What they couldn’t fit in is that the premium quality European oak finishing cask was seasoned for three years prior to filling. Dried fruits and a sweet nutty character are prevalent in this dram with 260 bottles making it to market. 54.9% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Notes from the bottlers... Colour: Autumn leaf. Nose: Cherry and marzipan cake, sultana and raspberry coulis. Palate: Spiced bramble, dark chocolate and fresh Javan coffee. Finish: Rich, sticky date and raisin pudding, with a demerara caramel glaze.

Aged for four years in tropical North Queensland before being sold on to a European rum broker where it has enjoyed a further five years of continental ageing. It was then chosen by Australian, Justin Boseley to be bottled as part of his Dead Reckoning line up. The aromas open slight and savoury until dried pineapple, hints of banana bread, cinnamon and light molasses pick up momentum in an appealing way. Starts grassy, natural; the mid palate quickly develops intensity and heat including flavours of butter menthol cough lozenges, vanilla, dried mango and pistachios. Finishes with a kick of alcohol, pleasantly bittersweet, medium-long and relatively elegant for all the mid palate power. Some minor rough edges, but overall feels confident, natural and unsweetened. 55% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. 430 bottles produced.

2023 Jean Foillard Morgon Cote du Py

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Since legendary US importer Kermit Lynch dubbed them the Gang of Four in the 1980's, wine collectors the world over have been searching for the precious few bottles of Beaujolais from Jean Foillard, Marcel Lapierre, Guy Breton, and Jean-Paul Thévenet. Each of these producers were inspired by the natural wine growing and wine making methods of local hero Jules Chauvet. Their aim is to help the unique Beaujolais terroir express itself with minimal intervention, harnessing old vines farmed with organic practices, fermentation with natural yeasts, along with limited use of sulphur. Together they have raised not only the profile of the region, but demonstrated that Beaujolais is more than just 'Nouveau' and can indeed produce meaningful, complex and wonderful wines.
Along with his son Alex, Jean Foillard farms nearly fourteen hectares of vines planted mainly on the famed slopes of the Côte du Py in Morgon. As probably the most dependable of the Gang of Four, the wines of Jean Foillard are deep, structured, and complex, with a velvety lushness that makes them irresistible when young despite their aging potential. The wines are raised in older barrels sourced from top estates in Burgundy, including those from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, with the resulting efforts perhaps showing more in common with Chambolle-Musigny than what we've come to expect from 'regular' Beaujolais.
Other Reviews....
The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py comes from several parcels of granite and schistous soils with many centurion vines. This has a wonderful, very complex bouquet with exquisite delineation: crushed stone filters through dark berry fruit alongside hints of ash and light stony scents. The sapid and vivacious palate has filigree tannins, a silver thread of acidity, and a touch of cracked black pepper towards the long finish. This is one of the best Morgons you can buy…but that's old news. Drink 2026-2040.
