This Lagrein is every bit as good as the previous edition and marks the 3rd vintage of this wine which is properly world class, better even than most we have tasted from Lagreins homeland in Bozen. It’s bursting at the seams with blue and black fruits, red fruit acidity and plentiful fine tannins. Needs perhaps 6 months to settle into a groove, alternately double decant it is you are going to...

Plenty of cherry, raspberry, blueberry and spice here in this wonderfully light exceptionally persistent Grenache. In spite of its light - medium bodied nature, the fruit here is both intense and yet beautifully elegant, almost ethereal. Drink it now or cellar for donkeys. Buy a couple of doz and drink one a year...

This is the seventh vintage we have stocked of this wine and we have noticed a pattern… It is always in the top handful or the very best Shiraz when we open up a slew of Shiraz on the tasting bench. No surprise this edition has a trophy and 5 gold medals already. It is so smooth, polished and rich, offering black and blue fruits, velvety tannins and beautifully subtle oak. Delicious already,...

This is top end Coonawarra Cab done right. A grade vines are hand tended, the fruit bunch sorted, open fermented, basket pressed and put into superb French oak for a couple of years. Red fruits, mulberries, bramble, olives, dried herbs are all in the mix. The palate is extremely powerful, mouthfillingly textured, intense and long. An exceptional, single vineyard Coonawarra...

A full bodied and powerful example of Barossa Shiraz this. Dark fruits, plum and chocolate give way to liquorice and plenty of fine-grained tannins. The oak is definitely discernable and high quality but plays second fiddle to the fruit, as it...

A deliciously medium bodied and vibrantly fruited beast this. We saw liquorice, spice and cranberries. There’s smoke here too, raspberries and plenty of acid. Easy enough to drink by itself it is also excellent with tapas or...

A brilliantly dark and deep follow on from the 2014 and 2015 releases of this wine. The 16 is perhaps the best yet, offering a perfumed and spiced nose. The palate offers blue fruits, cherries, spice, cola, plum and herbs. Medium bodied and absolutely lip smacking. We’re predicting this one will find its way into many a staff...

A full bodied beast with rich and bright fruits in equal measure. Deliciously slurpable right now, this will also cellar well… we reckon for 5-8 years. Strap on the bib and pair it with beef tenderloin, or ribs or brisket. We dug around and found chocolate, liquorice, plums, smoky oak and lots more...

Big, dark and chocolatey; shot through with coffee. High on acid. Perhaps ‘high in acid’ might be a more accurate description. There’s plum here too, charred oak and great length. This needs time in the decanter if you are going to drink it now, otherwise cellar for up to 10...

Juicy bright strawberries hit the front of the palate of this Adelaide Hills Temp. Translucent and beckoning, its softness meets a Chuck Norris savoury finish, just what it calls for. Jericho suggest cellaring 3-4 years only to keep the fruit flavours fleshy and vibrant. We don’t think it’ll last the week! Perfect for pizza, tapas or a...

Lots of aromatics here with strawberries, bath powder, cherries and raspberries on the go. Palate reflects the aromas and has good length and firm acidity. This should age...

Rich velvety fruits here as cherry morphs with chocolate, loose leaf black tea and spices. Tannins are firm on the finish, giving this excellent length and persistence. Delicious and textural, great on its own or with a big plate of...

This is a mighty big Shiraz Cab blend – Kilikanoon seem to have a knack of producing reds that are bigger than the average Clare bear. The fruit here is stunning, with black and blue berries, chocolate and nuts all wrapped up in a gloriously silken texture. Big, polished, silky and great drinking now, this should also cellar for up to 10...
