Place of Changing Winds Annus Horribilis Pinot Noir 2020
$95.00Out of Stock
A remarkable wine, from an impossible vintage. The fruit is sourced from all of the estate vineyards, only 100 cases produced perhaps the best demonstration of just how punishing a vintage it was. Quite closed initially, but with patience, aromatically soaring. Intense sweet and tangy blue red and black fruits, cut flowers, mace, clove, cinnamon […]

Nicole Lamarche Hautes-Cotes de Nuits 2020
$80.00“The 2020 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge has a little more florality on the nose compared to the Bourgogne Rouge, just a touch more delineation. The palate is crunchy in the mouth and displays a little more energy compared to the Bourgogne Rouge. Pretty, yet early-drinking.” 88 points, Neal Martin, Vinous Lamarche holds 1.5 hectares in […]

Swinney Franklands Cabernet Syrah 2020
$90.00Are blends better than single varietals? This Cabernet Syrah would certainly stoke the fires of debate, and I would have loved the opportunity to taste the unblended varietals. Very refined, in the claret vein, balanced poised, powerful and graceful. Stunning flavours of violets, plum, blackcurrant, raspberry, tobacco and cream. Terrific shape, across an even plane, […]

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 […]

Bachelet-Monnot Maranges 1er Cru Les Prarons Dessus 2020
$100.00“The 2020 Santenay Prarons Dessus presents a tightly wound, tertiary bouquet that opens almost reluctantly in the glass. The palate is well balanced and quite saline, and the 25% whole bunches are nicely integrated. Rather spicy with a touch of balsamic toward the finish. So much freshness and vibrancy in this Santenay! Excellent.” 90-92 points, Neal […]

Albino Rocca Nebbiolo d’Alba 2020
$55.00“The 2020 Nebbiolo d’Alba emerges from the part of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio that is in Alba (as opposed to in Barbaresco). Wild cherry, cedar, tobacco, spice, dried herbs and blood orange are some of the many aromas and flavors that open in the glass. Mid-weight structure and polished tannins add to its considerable appeal.” 93 […]

Iggy Lyndoch Barossa Valley Syrah 2020
$75.00Deep red, almost crimson in colour. Dense aromas of plum, black pepper, black currant, nutmeg, and a touch of smokiness. Aiming for savouriness rather than fruitiness here and showcasing elegance rather than robustness. Supple, yet very much present tannins with fairly fresh acidity. Pleasant mouthfeel with a long, persistent finish. Drinking well now but will […]
