The most powerful Erin Eyes Cab to date. Blue fruits perfume the nose with blackcurrant, black olive, plum, a twist of dark chocolate, spice and assertively angular greenery on the palate. Delicious now but will cellar well for 10-15 years,...

Swooping perfumed doses of delicious sour cherries on the nose, underpinned by a tidy bit of earthy green stuff. Stewed fruit acid on the palate reflecting quality fruit and a bit of oak toast there too. There’s a youthful tightness to this, whilst it gradually opens up - five years in the cellar won’t go astray. The hunt for a cracking Pinot Noir stops for a moment with this...

An exceptional second release of Finniss River Cabernet. The first one scored 2 gold medals, this vintage has 3 golds already and we are confident its brag sheet will exceed the older brothers by the time it is done. Deep dark and brooding, this Cab offers up blackcurrants, dark chocolate and superfine tannins. Delicious now but should last a decade if you store it somewhere nice and cool....

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...

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 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...
