Last Bottles

Stuart McCloskey "Slippery on the palate which creates a seductive, textural edge to the palate feel. The flavours fade slowly – excellent length.  All-in-all, an excellent Chardonnay...Tremendous value...read more

Robert Parker "The dark ruby-colored 2003 Grenache Old Vines Clarendon Hills exhibits a big, sweet nose of kirsch liqueur, raspberries, dusty soil, pepper, and herbs...read more

Erin Larkin "Fermented in stainless steel in the pursuit of purity, and left on fine lees prior to filtration and bottling in July. The acidity is coiled and taut and brilliant...read more

Mike Bennie, The Wine Front "Expressive, personality imbued wine that marches to its own beat. Very brambly, dark fruited, autumnal and savoury, with, indeed, this beautiful thread of fine, lacy tannins of a graphite, smoky spice, earthy ilk...read more 

Mike Bennie, The Wine Front "Darker cherry, plummy fruit character with big dashes of white pepper, green-herbal stemmy notes, undergrowth and woody spices...read more

99 Points - James Suckling "A gloriously detailed, focused and concentrated rendition of grenache, this has a punchy and energetically youthful stance...

Stuart McCloskey "Remarkably youthful and vivacious - greater things will emerge, although this delivers plenty of pleasure. Skilfully crafted and a wine that shows soul…read more

98 Points - Nick Stock, Jamessuckling.com “This has really transformed into a complex, bottle-matured Riesling with lemon-rind, lemon-butter and toasty aromas...read more

18.5/20 Points – Matthew Jukes “Reminds me of great Southern Rhône whites from a bygone era but with more flair, professionalism, fruit clarity and drinkability...read more

Stuart McCloskey “The flavours saturate the palate – flint and chalky characteristics expand. It’s clearly full of life and energy - wonderful length too. This really has that something extra and yet again provides incredible value for money...read more

97-98 Points - Stuart McCloskey “Unquestionably, the sexiest Grenache bouquet which I have come across for a very long time. The profusion of aromatics is heady, heavenly with a wonderous exotic twist of juniper, mint, clove, raspberry and sweet spice...read more

95 Points - Wine Spectator "Rich and supple, brimming with complex coffee, tobacco and dusky spice-accented ripe blueberry, dark plum and sloe flavours."

99 Points - James Suckling  “A pretty sensational wine with blackberry, grilled meat, dark chocolate, and licorice. Full-bodied and layered with righteous deep and poised tannins that coat the mouth. It goes on for minutes...read more

James Suckling "A fruity and layered chardonnay with cooked apple, pear and hints of vanilla. Some toasted oak. Full-bodied and delicious with layered texture. Serious length and phenolic texture. Wonderful now, but even better in a year or two."

98 Points - Wine Pilot “An abundance of overgrown blackberries, mulberry and dark chocolate. Crushed cocoa nibs, vanilla bean and cinnamon make for an intoxicating aroma. It’s all here...read more

94 Points - James Halliday "Has that black fruit power of the Clare Valley that can seem impenetrable, but this has its best years in front of it. A complex bouquet, the palate locked up with its tar and roses flavour base...read more

96 Points - James Halliday “ The quality of fruit, tannic precision and apposite application of oak under this banner are unequalled in Australia. Nobody else gets it quite as right. The budget and gear help, yet it is the viticulture...read more

97 Points - The Winefront “It’s the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (56%) and shiraz (44%) that could take on all-comers. Stand aside. There’s a freight train of flavour here and while its brakes are hydraulic its momentum is enormous...read more

99-100 Points - Stuart McCloskey “Great Shiraz weaving its magic with the aid of mother nature and buried under the vines to rest and harmonise before being unveiled to a gobsmacked audience. The bouquet is truly remarkable and as profound as...read more

95+ Points - Antonio Galloni "I have tasted the 2013 Sirah Per Sempre several times over the last few months and it just keeps getting better. Intensely aromatic, Tua Rita's Syrah is unusual for the Tuscan coast because of its distinctly floral/savory...read more

100 Points - James Suckling "Welcome to one of the most beautiful faces of the Mosel. Essence of yellow fruit, from peach through mango to papaya. So concentrated, yet so vibrant and so pristine with such a mind-boggling number of nuances...read more

The Chapelle d’Ausone has an intense bouquet with vibrant, slightly dusty black fruit that are very well defined and develop intriguing earthy, almost graphite aromas with aeration. Leaving it in my glass over five minutes it offers some gorgeous...read more

94 Points - Neal Martin "The Chapelle d'Ausone 2010 has a tightly coiled bouquet that is very linear and controlled, not as expressive as its peers but with fine mineralite. The palate is tight on the entry with crisp tannins, bright tart...read more
