G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco Delle Viole 2017 DOCG

Brokenwood Graveyard Shiraz 2018

Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "One sip, you're in. Another seductive Black Label - its 63rd vintage - and it's a wow. Excellent vintage conditions have no doubt helped, but this Australian icon doesn't need a lot of assistance outside its trio of long-time 'curators': Sue...

Penfolds RWT 2017

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "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...

Moppity Hilltops Reserve Shiraz 2014
