Cullen Diana Madeline 2018
$125.00Out of Stock

Super-concentrated deep blackcurrant, mulberry and dark, plummy, chocolate flavours. There is an extraordinary brightness and vitality on the nose with exotic violet perfumes. Impeccably poised.

Te Mata Coleraine Cabernet Merlot 2019

Massolino Barolo 2017

Sadie Family Swartland Pofadder 2019
$120.00Picked slightly riper than usual in 2019, Pofadder also benefited from a decent crop compared with some of the Old Vine Series parcels. Plusher and darker than the 2018 was at this stage, with more grip and flavours of bramble and black cherry, this is a serious, sinewy Cinsault with a nip of tannins. “A […]

Impenetrable core, and the nose needs lots of coaxing, before it’s immensity is fully realised. Brambly fruits of mulberry, blackberry, cassis and […]
