Cantina D’Arcy Langhe Nebbiolo 2020
$105.00Myers’ drop-dead gorgeous Langhe bottling is based on two 30-plus-year-old parcels of Nebbiolo rooted at the foot of Barbaresco’s famous Ronchi Cru.

Patrick Sullivan Black Sands Chardonnay 2022
$50.00Light-medium straw colour; aromas of poached peach, melon skin, a note of freshly sliced almond. Citron also. The wine is broad and concentrated in the front of the mouth, the finish dropping away just a little early, and leaving a faintly bitter echo from phenolics. Possibly some skin ferment? A left-field style, and pretty smart […]

Gerard Julien & Fils Bourgogne Rouge Origine 2020
$75.00I’m not sure why, but there has never been a better time to drink Bourgogne rouge or blanc. Usually the least expensive option, also meant poor value. But this is something else. Intense aromatics of sweet raspberry, strawberry, plum, blackberry, subtle wood and minerals. It’s the lightest wine in the range, but carries plenty of […]

Carl Loewen Riesling ‘1896’ 2021
$175.00This is beautiful to drink now, but those things which really make it stand out in the crowd are only just beginning to reveal themselves. With every swirl of the glass the ripe peach and apricot aromas expand until there’s a great cloud of them. Staggering concentration is packed into a rather sleek frame, but […]

Cascina delle Rose Mixed Pack
$549.00 Per case of 6A few words from Ned Goodwin MW on the vintages: “2019 is the first of a triumvirate of very good vintages, following the forward, frisky and imminently approachable 2018’s. To make recent comparisons, 2019 is dense of extract with a bulwark of firm, marked tannins. It is frequently compared to 2013, by others to 2016. […]

Fabien Coche Meursault ‘Les Chevalieres’ 2021
$250.00The lieux-dit of Les Chevalieres is situated above the village of Meursault. Above is the lieux-dit of Les Luchets, which produces a higher toned, more tensile wine. I can’t help but think that this is ideally situated, in a sense, mid-slope, the perfect aspect in Burgundy. Impossibly complex, with notes of white flowers, lemon, lime, […]
