Varieties

Lethbridge Mietta Pinot Noir 2019

  "Cherry and raspberry, a lot of spice and perfume, kind of blue with new oak (if you take my meaning) though the fruit is pretty much up to the task, along with earth and a sort of boot polish on leather thing happening. It’s rich and bold,...

Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 2019

Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

  "It’s all Coonawarra, it’s all Cabernet Sauvignon and it’s all French oak. The herb notes come straight at you but then the fruit, wow the fruit, it’s a surging wave. Blackcurrant, mint and woodsmoke in pure, commanding,...

Chateau Loirac Medoc Cru Bourgeois 2019

  "60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot. In the heart of Medoc, from harvest to bottling, this wine was produced with the utmost commitment to quality. Aged in French Oak barrels for 12 months. It offers attractive spicy...

Kendall Jackson Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

  "This Cabernet has distinct flavors of blackberry, blueberry, plus both red and black currants with enticing fragrances of mocha and nutmeg. Subtle notes of chocolate and toasty vanilla add to the richness and length of this bold Cab, and are...

Best's Thomson Family Shiraz 2019

  "Come from the original 1868 plantings, which is quite something. Black and blue fruit, hazelnut, seaweed, a little nougat and spice. It’s blue fruited, quite dense and firm, but also a little salty, with a fine chew to tannin, savoury...

Babich Organic Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

  "Black cherry and olive aromas. Violet notes and a touch of cedar and liquorice. Smooth and dense entry displaying dark fruits, morello cherry and plum, and nutmeg that persists through onto the lingering finish. Savoury dried herb and...

Fighting Gully Road Black Label Sangiovese 2019

  "A testament to the importance of patience in vinification, the Black Label 'La Longa' Sangiovese has great depth, structure and complexity, while retaining an elegant, medium-bodied palate with lingering fine-grained tannins. Brambly dark...

Jean Luc Jamet Cote-Rotie Les Terraces 2019

    "The star of the show is the 2019 Côte Rôtie Terrasses, which can thought of as a hypothetical mix of the 2017 and 2018, with perhaps a nod to the 2017. Both red and black fruits, peppery herbs, dried flowers, graphite, and a...

Chateau Le Coteau Margaux 2019

    "Blackberries, blackcurrants, mushrooms, walnuts and baking spices on the nose. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Silky and juicy with an elegant finish. Pretty Margaux."  - James Suckling   "From the...

Domaine Naturaliste Morus Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

  “Classic Margaret River Cabernet. Ripe yet compressed fruit sings from the glass with lovely purity. I had to check my hands for juice stains, as the nose is resplendent of freshly picked mulberries: ripe and delicate and oh-so-heady...

Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

  "Like the 2018 that preceded it, this is a wine of stature, precision and endurance. The tannins are fine and omnipresent, but then a cabernet without tannins would be like a person without purpose. This is direct, forthright and confident, with...

Wynns Michael Shiraz 2019

  "Matured for 14 months in new and seasoned French oak (15% new). If this doesn't set your heart aflutter, I don't know what will. Featherlight and concentrated at once, this has tissue paper-fine layers of black cherry, blueberry, graphite,...

Giovanni Rosso Barolo Serralunga 2019

  "Clarity and order dominate the bright ruby red, amidst berries and pomegranate, violets and aromas of camphor, candied cherry and licorice in this "classic mix old-timers favored "equally divided between Serralunga d'Alba, Castiglione...

Giovanni Rosso Barolo Serra 2019

  "The dense tannins supporting the balsamic weave of Barolo Serra Giovanni Rosso are now recognizable on the palate by critics around the world, despite the small dimensions of the cru, a niche relegated to the most refined drinkers. A structured,...

Vietti Barolo Ravera 2019

  "The 2019 Barolo Ravera is a wine of impact and power, and it is also a wine of the future. That's because Ravera (in the village of Novello) is one of the break-out sites that continues to awe and surprise despite a changing climate. Indeed, its...

SC Pannell The Vale Shiraz Grenache 2019

  "Enveloping and rich from the first sip. Freshness and drive from the Grenache supported by dark flavours and textures of the shiraz. The tannins are lacey and in the perfect spot for consumption. The choir is in full voice and the harmony is...

Craiglee Shiraz 2019

  "Another indulgent Shiraz from iconic winemaker Pat Carmody. Black fruits and spices are finely shaped by elements of cedar and florals. The palate delivers fulsome savouriness soft to the touch; beguiling and sturdy. - Wine House

Massolino Barolo 2019

  "Pure, yet savory, with a stony, mineral punch to the orange peel, strawberries and dried herbs. I love the clarity and the tautness on the palate, with elegant but gutsy flavors of minerals and fruit, together with firm tannins that show Barolo...

Pio Cesare Barolo Mosconi DOCG 2019

  This is so curated and fine, with a tannin structure that is both sophisticated and racy. Medium to full body. Silky texture with a finish that just takes off. Rose stems and dark fruit, such as plums and strawberries. Some black...
