Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Blanc 2020
$175.00“Extra vibrance to this aroma, perhaps needing a little sulfur but this is clearly fun too. Mouth-filling, mineral suggesting reduction – dynamic. A nose short of bravo!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report 100% Chardonnay. This Marsannay village wine comes from five parcels, including Les Larreys, Clos du Roy and En Blungey, as well as fruit from newly planted vines in Couchée. […]

Paul Prieur Sancerre Blanc 2020
$75.00Paul Prieur’s Sancerre Blanc comes from estate vineyards, composed of either silex or limestone and blended. But make no mistake; this “entry” level Sancerre is very serious indeed. Medium bodied, sleek, mineral and mouthwatering. White peach lemon, lemon zest, green apple and savoury spice. Tense and pulsating, without the textural pillow of the more expensive […]

Cantina D’Arcy Barolo Preda 2020
$340.00Out of Stock
If your’e looking for oomph and stuffing and bigness, well, perhaps Cantina D’Arcy isn’t for you. Everyone is referencing Burgundy in the same breath as D’Arcy, and although the almost unbelievable elegance, beauty and ethereal nature of the wines leads your intellectual side to another place, the smell, flavours, textures, soul, the very heart of […]

Gerard Julien & Fils Bourgogne Rouge Origine 2020
$75.00Out of Stock
I’m not sure why, but there has never been a better time to drink Bourgogne rouge or blanc. Usually the least expensive option, also meant poor value. But this is something else. Intense aromatics of sweet raspberry, strawberry, plum, blackberry, subtle wood and minerals. It’s the lightest wine in the range, but carries plenty of […]

Domaine Didier Dagueneau Silex 2020
$400.00(2020) “While this was a warm season leading to richness in many wines from the region, the Silex 2020 shows ripe fruit, but there’s no sense of being overblown. The fine line that races through many wines relying on flint-based parcels is there, carrying the nectarine and oak-derived vanilla flavors, but its influence never tips into […]

Weinbach Schlossberg Grand Cru Riesling 2020
$185.00Out of Stock
Delightfully firm with so much personality and the sensation that you are licking stones in the vineyard! So firm, so pungent, yet so fruity. Gorgeous wine, essence of Riesling and already approachable. Steely finish suggests a long life ahead. Bone dry and very long. 17.5 points, Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com The Schlossberg hill has long been […]

Domaine A Lady A Sauvignon Blanc 2020
$75.00Out of Stock
Australia’s greatest Sauvignon Blanc, irrespective of style. Hedonistic and opulent, presumably full malo and aged in predominantly new French oak. That being said, the nose is incredibly expressive with exotic fruits of pineapple, pawpaw, kiwifruit, white peach and Jersey butter and cinnamon notes. Rich, medium to full bodied, the fruit is so powerful and deep, […]

Swinney Franklands Cabernet Syrah 2020
$90.00Are blends better than single varietals? This Cabernet Syrah would certainly stoke the fires of debate, and I would have loved the opportunity to taste the unblended varietals. Very refined, in the claret vein, balanced poised, powerful and graceful. Stunning flavours of violets, plum, blackcurrant, raspberry, tobacco and cream. Terrific shape, across an even plane, […]

$130.00“The 2020 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru comes from three parcels and taken was directly from used barrel.

Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Rully Rouge 2020
$105.00Out of Stock
A terrific follow up to the excellent 2019 with notes of blackcurrant, dark cherry, blackberry, sandalwood, baking spices and plum. Medium bodied, plush, succulent and sappy. The oak frames the wine nicely and is beautifully integrated. It’s delicate and pretty, the fruit sweet and tangy. Tannins are long, drawn out, powdery and soft. Very fine […]

Weiser-Kunstler Steffensberg “im Lowenbaum” Riesling 2020
$65.00Dry Mosel riesling at it’s incomparable best. Expressive sensual and exotic notes of mustard seed, yellow peach, kiwifruit, cherry, smoke, fresh compost and grapefruit. Packed with flavour, yet light as a feather. Where else could decadence be married to such a lightness of touch. Silky and ripe with blackcurrant, lavender soap, fennel, green peppercorns, pawpaw […]

Clos Larrouyat Jurancon Moelleux Phoenix 2020
$60.00Phoenix is crafted entirely from Petit Manseng. The drying southerly Foehn wind allows for the late harvests and passerillé necessary to produce Jurançon’s moelleux wines. The 2020 Phoenix was picked in November, then naturally fermented and aged for eight months in used barrels. With moderate residual sugar (of around 60 g/L), the racy Salharang style displays a terrific […]

Benjamin Leroux Vosne Romanee 2020
$265.00“A little lighter in crimson purple and showing a touch of oak now. Quite powerful, not quite so harmonious but note that this has been tasted directly after the sublime Nuits-St-Georges Aux Boudots. Actually, this is a fine and nicely nuanced Vosne-Romanée.” 90-93 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy “There is a very pretty, perfumed and high-toned […]

Iggy Springton Eden Valley Syrah 2020
$75.00There’s no mistaking where this comes from. Super vibrant aromatics of violets, cassis, kirsch, chocolate, blueberry, raspberry and charcoal. Rich and full bodied. Very powerful indeed, yet with precision and a sort of tactile grace. Some subtle sweet meat and game notes, which will no doubt come through more as the wine ages. Still, the […]

Stonegarden Field Blend Grenache 2020
$65.00Richer, deeper and burlier than the straight Grenache. 85% of this blend is Grenache, with the difference made up of Mataro, Shiraz, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is from a warmer part of the vineyard, with heavier soils and the fruit is correspondingly darker. Rounder in shape, wilder, with more exotic notes of cocoa, smoke, […]

Hirsch Bohan Dillon Pinot Noir 2020
$140.00Out of Stock
Hirsch’s wines are personified by delicacy and weightless concentration. Pure, cool and fresh with red fruits, hedge fruits, subtle spice and autumn notes of fallen leaves and fresh earth. Finessing tea leaf tannins and intense acidity weave almost unseen, asserting themselves towards the close. Lingering and contemplative wine. Waters Wine Co The 2020 Pinot […]

Albino Rocca Nebbiolo d’Alba 2020
$55.00Out of Stock
“The 2020 Nebbiolo d’Alba emerges from the part of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio that is in Alba (as opposed to in Barbaresco). Wild cherry, cedar, tobacco, spice, dried herbs and blood orange are some of the many aromas and flavors that open in the glass. Mid-weight structure and polished tannins add to its considerable appeal.” 93 […]

La Soufrandiere Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Longeays 2020
$125.00Perhaps the emblematic wine of the estate, combining tension, palate weight and power. The high tones, flowers, saltiness and fruit weight are dialled up here, and at this point are in contrast to each other. Time, preferably lots of it will see these two sides come together, although this is one of the most remarkably […]

La Soufrandiere Macon-Vinzelles Le Clos de Grand-Pere 2020
$85.00Delicate aromatics, not so much closed but hinting. Cool, herbal notes with lemon, preserved lime, grapefruit, white peach and nectarine. Super energy, not surging, but rather like a dancer, each step revealing something new. Chiseled and compact, this has so much more to offer if you can be patient. Mandarin, sage, lemon oil, green mango, […]

95 Points – “The 2020 Marienburg GG is pure and fresh on the coolish and stony nose that represents its terroir perfectly well even if still showing a sur lie layer. Very elegant and refined on the palate, this is a lush, well-balanced and now creamy-textured Marienburg with gentle acidity and a long, saline and […]

Raspail-Ay Gigondas 2020
$85.00The 2020 Gigondas is stunningly good and is loaded with notions of red cherries, framboise, sappy flowers, and pepper. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied, flawlessly balanced Gigondas offering ripe, perfectly integrated tannins, a layered, balanced mouthfeel, and a great finish. If I saw this on a wine shelf, I’d buy it. Drink […]

Lelie van Saron Syrah 2020
$60.00A remarkable wine, particularly when you consider the vineyard is barely 20 years old. You don’t need old vines to make great wines, but you do need a great site, and the Bos vineyard in the cool climes of Upper Hemel-en-Aarde is incredible. The soils are of weathered granite, no doubt a defining feature for […]

Iggy Lyndoch Barossa Valley Syrah 2020
$75.00Classic Barossa, classic. Blackcurrant, mint, chocolate, glace cherries, ferrous, blackberry, maple and sweet raspberry. The oak is a little more evident here, and the fruit is fleshy and succulent. Pure and deep, compact and precise, and I wish I had decanted this before drinking. Very fine, with Nutella and savoury spice-laden tannins that tighten and […]

Dawson James Chardonnay 2020
$65.00From the Far Horse Block of the Meadowbank vineyard, situated in the Derwent Valley, Southern Tasmania and planted in 2000. Awesome Chardonnay, and for lovers of the grape, whatever your stylistic preference, this one’s for you. Rich, it is full bodied, yet the wine’s so fresh and tensile with masses of tangy acidity.

Toro Albala Don PX 2002 (375ml)
$95.00I tasted the 2002 Don PX, which has 17% alcohol and 399 grams of sugar and seems dense and more concentrated than the 1999 I tasted next to it. They are all different degrees or declinations of similar aromas and flavors, such as dates, raisins, coffee and espresso coffee. This comes through as balanced and […]

Eisenstone McDonald Vineyard Marananga Shiraz 2021
$115.00Deep, dense colour with a powerful, concentrated bouquet of blood plum, blackberry and ironstone, hints of chocolate/mocha, the palate likewise concentrated and essency, with density and saturation, and the tannins are pervasive, mouth-coating and gently chewy. Quite a lot of oak, but it finds balance on palate in spite of its massive proportions. 96 Points […]
