[SOLD-OUT] Dry River Pinot Noir 2003

Region: NZ- Martinborough

Bob Campbell 93 Points!"The usual criticsm for this incredibly dense wine is "it's a very impressive red, but it's not Pinot Noir". I believe that time will restore any appearant loss of varietal integrity. Furthermore I've put my money where my mouth is...

[SOLD-OUT] Dalwhinnie Moonambel Shiraz 2006

Region: VIC- Pyrenees

-My kind of wine. Lovely mix of ripe elegant flavour and smart oak, the perfume and style of it both delicious and enchanting. This is a wine distinguished by its complex, elongated, integrated tannin, by its fresh acidity, by its easy length of flavour...

[SOLD-OUT] Giaconda Shiraz Warner Vineyard 2008

Region: VIC- Alpine Valley

Jeremy Oliver Rating 96!"Its peppery, spicy bouquet of deep red and black fruits, dark chocolate and gamey, cedary oak reveals hints of musk, blueberries and briar. Backed by powerful, fine-grained savoury oak, it's medium to full-bodied but densely...

[SOLD-OUT] Giaconda Cabernet 2001

Region: VIC- Alpine Valley

"Classical, aristocratic and almost essential cabernet with pure, pristine fruit, superb oak handling and assertive, firm tannins that will soften over time. Its dusty, cedary, chocolate-like and lightly herbal aromas of violets, cassis and dark plums...

[SOLD-OUT] De Bortoli Noble One 2007

Region: NSW- Griffith

Jeremy Oliver 95 points!"A remarkably compete and complex, smooth, polished and luscious dessert wine whose delicate floral perfume of fresh citrus, pineapple and other tropical fruits reveals nutty, brioche-like undertones. It's long, sweet and...

[SOLD-OUT] Ata Rangi Pinot Noir 2003

Region: NZ- Martinborough

Bob Campbell 93 Points!"Ata Rangi is New Zealand's most distinguished Pinot Noir producer although its status is being challenged by one or two winemakers in Central Otago. This Martinborough winery is famous for making intense silken-textured wines that...

[SOLD-OUT] Seppelt Dorrien Cabernet Sauvignon 1987

Region: South Eastern Australia

Jeremy Oliver 91 points!

[SOLD-OUT] Dry River Pinot Noir 2002

Region: NZ- Martinborough

"...It has an intense ruby colour, and aromas of flowers, cherries, even nuts and a background of plums. Phenolic ripeness (and therefore harvest) came later in the 2002 season because of the full canopies, and this is evidenced in riper flavours and...

[SOLD-OUT] Taltarni Museum Cabernet 1982

Region: VIC- Pyrenees

In the early 1960s, ex-schoolteacher turned earth moving contractor, Walter Henning combined forces with some Ballarat businessmen and began the search for land to plant a vineyard. Walter with Geoff and Max Oliver flew their aircraft all around...

[SOLD-OUT] De Bortoli Noble One 2006

Region: NSW- Griffith

-'A top-class effort whose lavish, luxuriant expression of concentrated fruit, tightly knit oak and refreshing acidity combine to give it rare shape, structure and vinosity in wines of this style. A luscious, syrupy and soft-cushioned expression of...

[SOLD-OUT] Dry River Pinot Noir 2001

Region: NZ- Martinborough

"Like the Chardonnay, this wine shows its vintage: fresh varietal flavours, firm structure, restrained alcohol and accented floral character. The colour is typical for Dry River - a dense ruby with a purple rim, with the nose showing violets, sweet...

[SOLD-OUT] Giaconda Shiraz Warner Vineyard 2006

Region: VIC- Alpine Valley

[SOLD-OUT] Dalwhinnie Moonambel Shiraz 2004

Region: VIC- Pyrenees

Jeremy Oliver 97 points!"Heady, wild, floral and musky aromas of cassis, plums, redcurrants and cranberries are handsomely supported by dusty new vanilla oak and backed by minty nuances of menthol, licorice and treacle. Sumptuous and smooth, its seamless...

[SOLD-OUT] Chateau d`Yquem Sauternes 1990

Region: France- Bordeaux- Sauternes Barsac

Robert Parker 99 points! "1990: An extraordinary effort, Yquem's 1990 is a rich and fabulously superb, sweet wine. This wine also possesses lots of elegance and finesse. The wine's medium gold color is accompanied by an exceptionally sweet nose of...

[SOLD-OUT] Ata Rangi Pinot Noir 2002

Region: NZ- Martinborough

Ata Rangi Pinot Noir 2002 - ***** 5 stars The real McCoy. The type of wine that all our winemakers should aspire to make. A Kiwi icon and deservedly so. From the 100-plus new vintage pinots I've tried so far, it's clearly the best. Complex, perfumed,...

[SOLD-OUT] De Bortoli Noble One 2005

Region: NSW- Griffith

-Wine Advocate 92 points!'The 2005 Botrytis Semillon 'The Noble One' has nearly 70% botrytis infected fruit. It was aged in French oak, 46% new. Medium gold-colored, it offers an enticing nose of orange peel, tangerine, and candied apricots. Balanced...

[SOLD-OUT] Giaconda Shiraz Warner Vineyard 2005

Region: VIC- Alpine Valley

Jeremy Oliver Rating 96!"A massively proportioned shiraz by the standards of this vineyard, and one whose meaty ripeness and treatment with bruising, charry oak simply demands time in the cellar. It opens with exaggerated slowness to reveal deep,...

[SOLD-OUT] Chateau d`Yquem Sauternes 1989

Region: France- Bordeaux- Sauternes Barsac

Robert Parker 97 points!"The favorite sweet wine of millionaires, Chateau d'Yquem has, not unexpectedly, turned in a brilliant effort with their newly released 1989. It is a large-scaled, massively rich, unctuously-textured wine that should evolve...

[SOLD-OUT] Chateau Coutet a Barsac Sauternes 1983

Region: France- Bordeaux- Sauternes Barsac

The miracle vintage, 1983 is the result of a terrible spring with late bud development and a hot, humid summer. The harvest took place from September 23rd to November 18th. The nose is full of citrus aromas. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced,...

[SOLD-OUT] Ata Rangi Pinot Noir 2001

Region: NZ- Martinborough

Ata Rangi Pinot Noir 2001 ***** 5 stars. New Zealand hit the world wine stage with a vengeance when the international marketplace first took notice of its sauvignon blanc. Now NZ Pinot Noir has people talking. The Shaky Isles show promise with this...
