    If you are chasing a richer, more aromatic expression of rosé, this is for you. Made from tempranillo, it's full of sweetly spiced cherry, some candied melon and orange zest, too. There's a comforting weight to the palate; a rosé to sink your teeth into, so to speak. It finishes long with generous drive. Drink by 2027.

    100% nebbiolo from the east-facing Kersbook vineyard. It boasts a magnificent watermelon hue, the intensity not by chance. The grapes underwent an 18-hour soak to yield this level of extraction. It smells of Royal Gala apples and grilled yellow peaches. Some fleshy apricot, rose and dried herbs, thyme and bay. Magnificent texture here, the result of a providential decision made by winemaker Matt Large to leave the juice on lees in barrel for 12 months. It grips and steers, lending a spine of spice through the breadth of its billowy fruit. Serious rosato – outside the scope of assumption. Drink by 2028.

    Personality plus here. This wine feels wild, warm and controlled at once. Red berried flavour, wood spice, smoked meat notes, yeast and decayed roses. There’s no shortage of fruit but it tastes essentially of the earth. Tannin, well managed, grape skin-like, adds a gravity. Serious stuff, in a good way. This rosé creates its own world.

    Milhoc Le Premier-ne Single Grain French Whisky (700ml)
    Armagnac, FRANCE
    $129. 99
    Bottle
    $1559.88 Dozen
    ABV: 45%

    Better known for his Armagnacs, Denis Lesgourgue's foray into whisky started in 2021 using Chateau de Laubade's column still. 'Milhoc' (pronounced Mi-Yoc) is a single grain expression made from 54% corn, the remainder malted barley. Maturation employs a selection of French and American oak, ex-Armagnac and ex-Bourbon barrels, ageing for between 4 and 5 years. While corn-heavy, the style is reported to be less sweet than traditional American equivalents, offering a well-rounded whisky with toasted notes of citrus, vanilla and sweet spices. Bottled at 45% without chill filtration.

    Other reviews... The nose is bright and zippy, with aromas of lemon peel, lemon pound cake, a dollop of honey, and a faint soapy note. The palate is light but not thin, with lovely baking spices, café au lait, black pepper, and semi-sweet chocolate. Coffee intensifies on the finish, as does the peppery spice. 89 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    Fermented and matured in stainless, wood and amphora. A light, bright colour. Another aromatic gris from Lethbridge with its aromas of pear, honey and spice. It's ripe and flavourful on the palate, but the key here is just how bright the acidity is, keeping this delicious wine balanced and fresh. Drink now and over the next two to three years.

    Domaine Pichot is a 24Ha family estate in Vouvray on the right bank of the Loire, where vignerons dedicate their time to the cultivation of Chenin Blanc, locally coined ‘Pineau de la Loire’, to produce dry, sweet and sparkling whites. The Coteau de la Biche is the only vineyard of the estate, planted on silex layered over limestone slopes. It is the spot of choice to make dry whites of great class, displaying the richness of ripe Chenin with a minerality that can rival that of the grandest Chablis. The la Biche undergoes a combination of ferments in both stainless steel and 400 litre barrels.

    A long time customer favourite, this luscious, fruity and highly refreshing Vouvray, delivers incredible bang for your buck.

    Brilliant pale straw colour with green highlighted edges and a watery hue. Elevated pear, rosewater and honeysuckle scents are trailed by whiffs of quince and Jonathan apple skin. Luscious pear, red apple and musk flavours are underscored by a fresh line of chalky acidity. Subtle honeysuckle and quince elements act as a back drop. Long refreshingly fruity finish.

    $1199.88 Dozen
    ABV: 44%

    Readers may recall Glenturret's 2022 Triple Wood which was rated 99 points and judged the world's top single malt Scotch whisky at the 2023 International Wines and Spirits Competition. We're now onto the 2024 release. It sees the same trio of cask types employed, building on the distinctive fruity flavours of the distillery's new make. 44% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Glenturret’s flagship, named for its aging in three different casks: American oak, European oak (both sherry seasoned), and bourbon. Spearmint, earthiness, and warehouse floor start this off on the nose. The palate is smoothly textured, with flavors of baked apricot, pepper spice, vanilla, and wine-soaked oak. The finish offers baked peach and apricot, chocolate, banana, and vanilla cream. Deep, richly flavored, and in great balance. 92 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    ...surpassed my expectations, which is good. Maybe it also says something about my thoughts on Glenturret, a distillery I like but generally don't hold in the highest regard. Either way, the Glenturret Triple Wood certainly is just a that – a nice coalescence of three different wood types. - wordsofwhisky.com

    Certified biodynamic; 10% whole bunches, matured in new and used French oak barriques and puncheons for two years. The winemaker chose to release the 2019 before the 2018. A smart decision, given the upfront appeal of the '19. The '18 offers a darker intensity but boasts a similar beautiful balance. Deep perfume and flavours rich in Heathcote blackberries, cassis, pastille, bramble, wild bushland aromatics and inviting spice. Moves like a distance runner, fine tannins, firm and sleek.

    Part of Bruichladdich's new line of Travel Retail Exclusives under the Re/Defined range, featuring groundbreaking outer packaging created with James Cropper, a specialist in sustainable luxury presentations. The bespoke, coloured paper pulp wrap is moulded to the distillery's proprietary bottle shape - a first for any spirits product. Made using a combination of Scottish mainland barley, Islay-grown and organic barley, the whisky was matured in 80% ex-Bourbon casks and 20% Sherry casks (Oloroso and PX Butts), showcasing the profound influence of time and high-provenance oak on Laddie's complex, floral spirit. Head Distiller, Adam Hannett balances the influence of each – the PX bringing sweet raisin and fig, the Oloroso adding walnut, toasted oak and spice, all harmonising with the Bourbon’s contribution. 50% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

    $1019.88 Dozen
    ABV: 42%

    Other reviews... Oyster shells in spirit do not impart much flavour; instead, they bring a beautiful, fresh cream mouthfeel to the table. Playing into the maritime nature of oysters, Never Never employed the use of coastal botanicals to help get the feel of what an oyster-shell gin would taste like. The nose delivers great wafts of fresh lime scent on the backdrop of a subtle slate achieved through aromatic coastal herbs. The palate itself stays true to the classic gin profile, juniper still leads the charge with wisps of fresh citrus and salt coming through, oily waxflower, and the oyster shells are showcased here in their rich texture, juxtaposing the bright flavours. Notes of sharper fresh pine needles and hints of deeper coastal plants allude to an intriguing and mystifying finish. 93 points - Jess Clayfield, winecompanion.com

    Mon Dieu, not Bowmore! Don’t tell me they’ve done that dreadful ‘Claret’ thing from twenty-five years ago all over again! Colour: gold – no pinkish hues, thank goodness. Nose: pata negra ham with redcurrant jelly, patchouli, bay leaf, and the usual saline Bowmore peat. In any case, it's not the calamity we had feared so far, at least for the moment. Mouth: they’ve shown a bit of tact here, it doesn’t burst into red fruit jelly sweets, and even the blackcurrants and cherries have been kept in check. No real clashes to speak of, just that odd sweet-and-savoury pudding note which remains a little baffling. Increasing amounts of crushed peppercorns too. Finish: fairly long, teetering on that tightrope between saline peat and the red fruits from Bordeaux – assuming it really is red Bordeaux, of course... Comments: at this rate, one wouldn’t mind knowing which vintage went into the wine casks, since in Bordeaux, vintages can be wildly different from one another. That would make sense, wouldn’t it? Anyway, this is far from a disaster. 83 points - whiskyfun.com

    $1799.88 Dozen
    ABV: 54%

    The Bourbon hogshead has done a good job of adding weight and 'malty' presence to the grain. It bears some bristles, but the length combined with a thick lick of vanilla wafer and Caramello milk chocolate tell you Rattray's made a prudent decision to reserve this cask early on. Good body and mouthfeel till the last. A substantial and solid grain for the age statement. 294 bottles from a Bourbon hogshead. 54% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. Tasted from a 30ml sample.

    2017 A.D. Rattray Cask Collection Arran 8 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Isle of Arran, SCOTLAND
    $129. 99
    Bottle
    $1559.88 Dozen
    ABV: 59.8%

    From the first nosing to the final taste, this whisky is defined by an immense weight. Punctuating the spirit heat and oak spices are notes of biscuity malt, unripe pineapple and muted apple. An Arran so untamed, extreme and seemingly out of character that it almost leaves you wondering why they bottled it - until you add water, when it all falls into place superbly. 303 bottles from a Bourbon hogshead. 59.8% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. Tasted from a 30ml sample.

    Notes from the bottlers... In 2017, we hand-delivered this ex-bourbon hogshead to the legendary James MacTaggart at Lochranza. Bright orchard fruit and crisp malted notes lead to a bold, dry spice on the finish – an approachable single cask with clarity and charm. Tasting Notes Colour: Warm gold. Nose: Crisp barley, Seville orange and light malted honey. Palate: Sugar beet sweetness, white pepper and baked pear. Finish: Bold and unusual, with a dry spice that lingers invitingly. Flavour Summary: Cereal and orchard fruit.

    ABV: 52.1%

    Finished for 18 months in a port cask from the distinguished Santa Eufémia winery. Not known for been particularly robust, this Glen Ord breaks the mould. Fruity and malty at first, before the port enters leaving a lingering tart berry influence. Not exactly your expected fruity port finishing though; rather assertive, with a persistent, genteel fire. The kind of bracing dram you'd welcome in a hip flask mid-winter. 240 bottles at 52.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. Tasted from a 30ml sample.

    Notes from the bottlers... Colour: Rich amber. Nose: Fresh oak, red cherry and toasted almonds. Palate: Bold currants, juicy berries and warm candlewick spice. Finish: Tannic grip eases to a mellow trail of dried berry and cedar. Flavour Summary: Cereal and dried fruit.

    Sourced from a vineyard in the Hills district of Kuitpo, which is up the escarpment and within cooee above the eastern foothills of McLaren Vale. There’s a distinctive varietal aroma, crimson cherry and a waft of cola, an undercarriage of dried kitchen herbs like thyme and oregano. Unsurprisingly, these play a second act in the palate, their flavours accentuating a light meatiness in the tasting sensation. Whatever oak has carried the wine during maturation offers a sweet woodiness and spice to the finish, adding to a lovely sense of aromatics and flavour throughout. A pleasure to drink.

    $1199.88 Dozen
    Cellar: Drink now - 4 Years (2026-2030)
    ABV: 14.5%
    Closure: Cork

    A rich, concentrated super Tuscan style blend with muscular tannins and a rustic finish.

    When you consider the history of the region, Carpineta Fontalpino could be considered as one of the new kids on the block. Currently owned by brother and sister duo, Filippo and Gioia Cresti, the Estate has been in the family since the 1960’s. Their vineyards and winery are situated just outside the small medieval village of Montaperti in the subzone of Castelnuovo Berardenga.
    Their wines are more muscular with greater weight and tannins compared to the northern sections of Chianti Classico. The principal reasons for this are the high portion of dark/red clay, supported by a solid layer of schistous rock and in general terms, a slightly warmer temperature than the northern communes.
    A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Midnight black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Elevated aromas of blackcurrant are interwoven with earthy black olive, tobacco, old cedar, leather and spice. Rich blackcurrant and liquorice fruits flood the mouth, framed by muscular tannins. Black olive, earth, dried herb, cedary tobacco and spicy leather characters lie underneath. Firm yet deeply fruited and concentrated it has a long, rustic finish.
    Drink over the next 3-4 years.

    A blend of organic Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, the Fattoria Carpineta Fontalpino 2019 Do Ut Des shows a beautiful sense of firmness and rich density. It amply wraps over the palate and begs to be served next to one of Tuscany's air-dried T-bone steaks cooked rare. Blackberry and mulberry play a leading role, but the wine also shows a strong supporting cast of black olive, spice and toasted rye bread. Earthy mineral notes appear over a long finish. This vintage is excellent. Drink 2024-2035.

    Attractive notes of currants, black cherries, cocoa and hints of vanilla and dried tangerine peel. Polished and well composed, with a medium to full body and fine but firm, lightly chewy tannins. Bright and fresh. From organically grown grapes. Already attractive, but better in a year or two. Try after 2026.

    Tasted from magnum, the organic Feudo Montoni 2020 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Vrucara is a wine that vintner Fabio Sireci has been working to improve for many years. It remains one of the best expressions of the grape on the market today. Since the 2017 vintage, it has included 15% stems. The "progetto raspi" is something that was passed down from Fabio's father, Elio. The trick is to avoid the bitterness of the stems, something Fabio does by sun-drying the fruit on cane mats as if it were an appassimento. The wine ages in cement for 40 months. The fruit comes from a 2.2-hectare site with clay and sand at 500 meters in elevation. This vintage (with 4,800 bottles created) shows a very ripe fruit profile with blackberry, baked plum and grilled herb. Those robust flavors fold into a medium-plus mouthfeel that is indeed soft and plush, with no astringency. Soft mineral tones give a sense of brightness to the finish. Drink 2024-2032.

    Monica Larner – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate

    A sheen of spicy oak and sweet lavender gives way to crushed wild blueberries and hints of confectionery spice as the 2020 Vrucara smolders up from the glass. This is elegant and polished in feel. Ripe red and blue fruits swirl across a stream of cooling acidity as a coating of fine-grained tannins saturates the palate toward the close. It finishes structured and long with a deep swath of blackberries and mocha. The 2020 is still incredibly young, but it’s quite complex. It will require time to integrate its oak and come fully into balance. Drink 2026-2034.

    The 2023 The Steading comprises a blend of Grenache (57%), Shiraz (33%) and Mataro (10%). The wine is chocolaty and rich and abundant in fruit and spice detail. Shapely tannins define the palate, and the finish is long and concentrated. This wine has a long and popular history, and it is pleasing to see that continued here today. The cool and wet 2023 season is not overly evident in the wine in the glass here; perhaps it is slightly lighter than last year, but it lacks none of the concentration or density of the cuvées past. 15.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.

    Helen Burge was a proud Taswegian, before becoming an equally proud Barossan. Cornelian Bay on the Derwent River was her home. With fruit from Tasmania’s Coal River Valley, this wine offers a nice link between the past and the present, not to mention some delicious drinking. Maturation in French oak barriques for 13 months. A bright maroon/purple with notes of sappy raspberries, mulberries and red apples. A touch of truffle and undergrowth, followed by graphite and cherries. There are sleek, slippery tannins which offer good grip to a wine with very good focus and decent length. There is a creamy and seductive texture here, with everything well balanced. A lovely Pinot Noir for drinking now and over the next four to six years. Drink 2024-2030.

    The oldest working distillery in the highlands (est 1786), the world-famous Strathisla is the foundation of the Chivas Regal blends. In order to secure supply of this exceptional malt whisky, Chivas Brothers purchased the operation in 1950. Few and far between are bottlings from this distillery, which forms the foundation of the Chivas Regal blends (hence, why it's such a small player in terms of official bottlings).

    The 12 year old distillery expression was reintroduced in 2002, but independents have been just as rare, most coming from Gordon & Macphail, and mostly of considerable age. This example from Duncan Taylor is an impressive 40 years old, boasting cask strength to boot! A combination not seen from any Gordon MacPhail bottling we have procured. 48.8% Alc./Vol.

    Domaine Chanson has undergone a significant transformation, pivoting from its historical identity as a traditional negociant house to a premier estate-focused producer. Now managing approximately 95 hectares, the domaine is among the most significant landowners in the Cote de Beaune. Under the direction of Vincent Avenel, with head viticulturalist Justine Savoye and cellarmaster Lucy Auger, there is a meticulous emphasis on vineyard health; the estate's core Cote de Beaune holdings achieved full organic certification in 2024. In the cellar, a technical, "infusion-led" philosophy utilises a state-of-the-art chilling tunnel to preserve varietal purity and acidity. Winemaking is precise and site-specific, typically employing roughly 50% whole-cluster fermentation for reds and conservative new oak (20% for whites, 25-30% for reds).

    Firm reduction renders an evaluation of the nose impossible at present. The finer but not necessarily denser flavors possess a gorgeous mouthfeel while also coating the palate with dry extract that buffers the moderately firm, balanced and refreshingly dry finale. This is a seductive yet quite punchy Clos des Mouches and is a wine that should age effortlessly yet there is sufficient richness such that it could be enjoyed young too. Drink through 2030+.

    An even fuller yellow and an even more luxuriant nose, as Clos des Mouches cannot help. I still haven’t understood just why this vineyard should make such opulent, creamily textured wines. The oak is for me just a little bit too present but it should sort itself out after a light bentonite fining and filtering. Good acidity. Plenty of wine to work with here! Drink from 2028-2034.

    Chanson's white Clos des Mouches boasts an attractive ripe apple fruit aroma and hints of acacia, butter, and spice. Despite the heat of the year, there is no over-ripeness, and although the texture is creamy and rich, there is enough freshness to carry this to a pleasantly lingering finish. The grapes are from two hectares of Chanson's holdings in the Clos des Mouches, pressed as whole clusters and fermented on native yeasts with most of their lees. The result is a delight that excels in finesse but does not lack the substance to age for at least a decade. Drink 2027-2055.

    Deeply colored. Very ripe but still nicely fresh aromas of black cherry, cassis, violet and a hint of anise lead to super-sleek, vibrant and stony medium weight flavors that possess a lovely texture on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finale. This will need to develop more to merit the upper end of my projected range. Drink through 2030+.

    Moderately generous wood is present on the very ripe but not jammy aromas of dark currant, poached plum, spice and just turned earth. The wood can also be found on the palate of the beautifully textured and powerful medium weight plus flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the robust, palate soaking and very firm finale. Patience strongly recommended. Drink through 2032+.

    Dense crimson colour. A significant concentration of dark red fruit, intense raspberry. Somewhat dry tannins, which is part of being Grèves, and good acidity. I think this will all come together. It will always be a powerful wine but the fruit has retained its freshness. Drink from 2032-2038.

    This concentrated, powerful wine has superb substance and style with its ripe plum, mulberry fruit aromas, and hints of leather, bay leaf, and black tea. The texture is tannic and full-bodied, with enough potential to age for 30 years if one is so inclined. The domaine's two hectares here are spread over three parcels – each grown, picked, fermented, and aged separately. They will be reunited and bottled in March or April of next year. Open in five to seven years and drink for 30 more. Drink 2027-2055.
