Varieties

Craiglee Shiraz 2017

  "Craiglee has one of the grand old sites for Australian wine, and the Carmodys are great people. The Shiraz from here, in particular, is always effortless, always endearing, and this Craiglee Shiraz 2017 is a little showcase of all that is...

Mitolo Savitar Shiraz 2017

  INTENSE AND POWERFUL SHIRAZ MADE BY CULT FAVOURITE WINEMAKER BEN GLAETZER!   "Sourced from a lower-yielding section of the same vineyard as the GAM Shiraz and matured in 100% new oak, the 2017 Savitar Shiraz is tighter and more...

Best's Thomson Family Shiraz 2017

    "Youthful and bright, the bouquet clean and fresh and loaded with dark-cherry and blackberry aromas, the palate full-bodied, round and soft-textured. The tannins are ample but very fine and seamless, belying its obvious long-term ageing...

Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 2017

  "Chardonnay made with grapes sourced from the Adelaide Hills, Tasmania and Tumbarumba regions. Clean, pure, highly varietal nose. White peach and nectarine, a flintiness rising. The palate introduces toast, malt, wheaty elements and a little...

Turkey Flat Shiraz 2017

  "The cadence of this wine fits best with the Barossan archetype: avuncular, warm and comforting. This said, it also embraces a lighter, fresher and more aromatic form. Violet, clove and sweet cherry liqueur teem along well portioned vanilla pod...

Clarendon Hills Astralis Shiraz 2017

  "The 2017 Astralis Syrah is a very fine wine. It is not a big wine. Perhaps its reputation for being a big, extracted wine is a misnomer these days. It has intention and drive and clarity and length—and the length of flavor is so long that...

Clarendon Hills Domaine Clarendon Syrah 2017

  "Complex and fresh. There’s plenty here on the palate with ripe plums, blueberries and blackberries, all smoothly honed, neatly folded and carried long by the tannins. Intense blueberry flavour. Really impressive depth and drive here. So...

Chateau de Nages JT Rouge Costieres de Nimes AOC 2017

  "The top cuvée is the 2017 Costières De Nîmes JT, which is mostly Syrah blended with around 5% of Mourvèdre. It’s a more serious, concentrated, age -worthy wine that has a deep purple color, notes of black fruits,...

Luigi Baudana Barolo Serralunga 2017 DOCG

  "Poached strawberry, cherry, liquorice, dried herbs, grilled meat and menthol. It’s juicy and succulent, liquorice, strawberry and raspberry liqueur, stony feel to tannin, almonds and dried herbs, moderate acidity, a bit savoury and meaty,...

G.D. Vajra Barolo Coste di Rose 2017 DOCG

    "Wild berry, menthol and tilled earth aromas mingle with whiffs of dark spice. Linear and savory, the lithe palate is already immediate, featuring juicy raspberry, red cherry, crushed mint and star anise accompanied by taut, polished...

G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco Delle Viole 2017 DOCG

    "The 2017 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is classy and elegant to the core. Medium in body and wonderfully translucent, the 2017 captures all of the finesse of this site. Naturally, the 2017 also shows the ripeness of the year, but it retains...

Elderton Ashmead Cabernet 2017

93 POINTS - WINE FRONT!  93 POINTS - HUON HOOKE!     "The bouquet is rich and reserved and gently herbal, with earthy and ‘forest floor’ touches. The wine is full-bodied and loaded with flavour, the tannins bold and...

Penfolds Bin 28 2017

  "Well-balanced. Whirling black fruits and an oscillating shiraz disposition – Bin 28 by any other name, personality intact. Flavours akin to a consommé of dried porcini mushrooms; structurally embedded with grainy/sandy tannins...

Penfolds RWT 2017

  "This walks in and takes over the joint. Sweetness, smokiness, creaminess, long chains of tannin, a general swagger. It’s a prime wine, alpha, smooth as silk but hulked up too. All its doubts are ahead of it; for now, it has none. It has to...

Penfolds Bin 389 2017 (Screwcap)

  "Medium deep colour. Fresh dark cherry, blackberry, herb garden violet aromas with praline notes. Inky textured and velvety smooth with attractive dark cherry, cassis, blackberry fruits, underlying mocha dark chocolate roasted chestnut notes,...

Wild Duck Creek Pressings Shiraz 2017

Bindi Darshan Pinot Noir 2017

  **Limited Wine. Only 2 per customer**   "The 2017 has a complex array of aromas; wild strawberry, black cherry, dried flowers, leather, a touch of prune. The palate shows the benefit of seven years, for it is silky smooth whilst...

Seppelt St Peters Shiraz 2017

  "Fantastic wine, no two ways about it. It’s not a big wine. It doesn’t need to be. It shows off pepper, plum, clove and graphite characters and it threads woodsmoke and cured meat characters throughout. It’s fresh but...

Tyrrell's Vat 1 Semillon 2017 1500mL-Magnum

  "Intense limey goodness here, which will roll on to become a classic white Hunter Burgundy with bottle age: a subtle white flower perfume tells part of tale. Perfectly pitched, intense and crunchy, flavoursome too, with weight but no heaviness...
