Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Semillon 2016
$90.00Out of Stock
Sensual and suave, with flavours I haven’t found in a Vat 1 before. Just when I thought I knew what to expect! Preserved lime, fresh lemon, cream, kiwifruit, gardenia and honeysuckle. Subtle and very young. This seems quite open, but I feel this will shut down soon and be the better for it. A wonderful […]

Disznoko Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos 2016 (500ml)
$200.00This golden-colored Tokaji has aromas of raw honey, apricot blossom, pear and baked apple tart. Silky smooth upon entry, it offers flavors of baked apples, wildflower honey, canned pears and apricot. The acidity is nicely balanced so as not to be too cloyingly sweet. 97 points, Jeff Jenssen, Wine Enthusiast

Wild Duck Creek Sparkling Duck Shiraz NV
$80.00Exceptionally rare. A wine that I think embodies this estate like no other, showcasing their ability to make elegant, savoury and very complex wines, not just dark and massive monsters. Dark in colour, but less so than their still shiraz’s, and there is a greater emphasis on tertiary notes. The fruit profile is very complex, […]

La Torre Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016
$225.00Discreet nose, almost closed, but with plenty of vigorous swirling, a stunning aromatic tapestry emerges. Blood plum, red cherry, blueberry, cocoa, lavender, blood orange, dried flowers, cigar, sandalwood and polished leather. Texturally complex. Sleek, puckering and tannic, and it’s this combination that sets Brunello apart from other grapes. Very fine and elemental, expansive across the […]

Royal Tokaji Nyulaszo 1st Growth Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos 2016

Decades ahead! Waters Wine […]

Dagueneau Jurancon Les Jardins de Babylone Moelleux 2016
$385.00The 2016 is equally stunning but far more youthful and therefore, more delicate and discrete than the 2015. It’s a vibrantly racy wine with mixed citrus and fresh-cut apple notes and a juicy, vibrant close. Both vintages are Germanic in style, less so dessert wines but more for drinking throughout the meal (the way you […]

Swift Vintage Cuvee 2016
$70.00The Swift family and winemaker Drew Tuckwell have done more than anyone to seed, shape and substantiate the idea that the elevated vineyards of Orange could be a source of world-class sparkling wines. And they’ve done it with scintillating, thrilling wines like this. Piercingly pure grapefruit, lime juice squeezed on chalk, Granny Smith apples and […]

Fonseca Vintage Port 2016
$220.00On this second look, this Fonseca is still remarkably expressive, lifted and gloriously fresh, even with that slight closing. It has reasonable mid-palate concentration but even better intensity of flavor. Despite that intensity of flavor, it is not quite as sexy as it is in some years, at least not yet, as the tannins are […]
