Other Reviews….
A radically cool and delicate riesling for Rheinhessen, where generosity is more or less the rule. Sleek and light-bodied, but with a wonderful racy energy and wet stone mineralty that together make this feel much drier than it really is. Long, extremely clean, lightly spritzy finish. From organically grown grapes with FairChoice certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Deep midnight black dark red heart with a dark red hue.

Drink over the next 8-10 years.
Alc. 14.5%
Other Reviews….
Including more Mourvèdre than usual (40%), the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape sports a deep ruby/purple hue as well as an utterly classic Beaucastel nose of ripe red and blue fruits, spice, game, truffly earth, and ground pepper. Reminding me of the 2012, it's medium to full-bodied, has a layered, concentrated md-palate, sweet tannins, and a great finish.
94 Points
JebDunnuck.com
The 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape ratchets up the intensity from the Coudelet, adding more pronounced Mourvèdre-derived notes of truffle and tree bark to go with ripe black cherries and plums, crushed stone and hints of dark chocolate. Full-bodied in the mouth, with ample concentration and richness, this gently tannic wine finishes long and velvety, with echoes of licorice and dark fruit. It's a standout from a difficult vintage. Drink 2024-2040.

Joe Czerwinski – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
Still a little closed, so the fruit is a bit reserved, but there are already meaty, lavender and rosemary aromas. Well-structured and crisp, the tannins building steadily as it flows over the palate. The concentrated and ripe red fruit is very deftly wrapped around the core. Long, spicy, and licorice finish. Drink from release. From organically grown grapes.

$839.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 20 Years (2024-2044)

ABV: 15%

Closure: Stelvin

Impenetrable pitch black heart with an equally deep dark red black hue. Wafting through the nostrils are heady ripe blackberry, liquorice and dark plum aromas which intermesh with vanillin oak, hints of dark chocolate, scorched earth and pepper. Exuberantly rich and densely concentrated, the hefty palate is saturated with opulent blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits which are framed by firm, muscular tannins. Spicy vanillin oak, scorched earth and peppered fennel characters tail off through the finish. Magnificent power with a long, lushly fruited yet rather robust conclusion. Still remarkably youthful this can be cellared a further 10-20 years.

Red Door Highland Gin (700ml)

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
Reduced from $84.99
$49. 99
Bottle
$599.88 Dozen

ABV: 45%

Made at Benromach (a distillery better known for their single malt whiskies). The botanical selection is inspired by Scotland’s mountains, forests and coastal fringes and features the likes of bitter orange, sea buckthorn, heather and rowanberries alongside the requisite juniper. It's distilled in an affectionately named copper pot still, ‘Peggy’ using the vapour-infused method which steams the neutral base spirit through the botanicals. Dry and spicy aromas include coriander seed and white pepper over juniper, orris root and refreshing citrus peel. The palate is peppery, medium to full bodied with flavours of juniper, citrus, coriander finishing grassy, spicy, and crisp, juniper and bitter peel lingering through the aftertaste. In the vein of all-purpose, classic London drys. 45% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Red Door’s bright red bottle evokes fruit and mystery, but this is a very straightforward gin with few major surprises, despite the oddball ingredients. The nose: Tons of juniper, and lots of angelica-driven earthiness. There’s a maritime hint here, but it’s muted; the juniper is all but overpowering. The palate is more savory and earthier than you’d expect, notes of underbrush giving the body a certain sense of dusky pungency. A punch of lemon peel, almost closer to lime leaf, lingers on the finish, as does a pinch of salt and a twist of pepper. It’s clean but a bit brooding, still coming across as hewing too close to the ground, with not enough of a lift into the trees spread out above. There’s just a hint of sweetness as it fades out, but it could use more — or more complexity, at least. - drinkhacker.com
...This gin showcases the range that can exist in a juniper forward gin. While bitter orange and angelica notes shine, Red Door is classically juniper-forward. Further, it’s a versatile gin to have behind the bar. - Recommended in its category. 4.5 stars - theginisin.com

Kinglake Distillery Double Wood Single Malt Australian Whisky (500ml)

Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$104. 99
Bottle
$1259.88 Dozen

ABV: 46.1%

Most Australian whisky distilleries focus on ex-fortified or wine-barrel ageing, however Kinglake made it their early ambition to become Australia’s ex-bourbon single malt specialist. They produce one of the most distinctive new-make spirits and aim for cask influence to balance this rather than being the star of show. American oak is best suited for this. That said they've also had some incredible results with fortified barrels. These have now come to an end, leading to a new member of the core line, the Double Wood. The first barrels were filled back in 201: Three gorgeous old Portuguese tawny port barriques. Their size has given the spirit an elegant French oak complexity with just a very subtle fortified richness. Married with the first larger format ex-bourbon barrels, it ensures that whilst the toffee’s, vanillas and caramels which Kinglake whisky is known for are still very much keynotes, the French oak complexity adds another level of detail.
Notes from the producers... Ex-bourbon toffee’s, vanillas and caramels overlaid with a delicate French oak complexity. Just a hint of smoke and milk chocolate from our four grain mashbill. Our wide-cuts approach to the second distillation, as always, adds soft tobacco and leather and a ‘come-back-for-more’ chewy mouthfeel and viscosity.

Complex, youthful, varietal and enticing bouquet. Aromas of grapefruit and sweet peach, lemon and vanilla, raw cashew nut butter and layers of lees complexities. Near full-bodied on the palate with fruit, oak and lees flavours reflecting the bouquet. The key with this wine is the acid line accentuating the citrus with grapefruit peel, then complexities from lees and development. The minerality is also a feature with a clay, stone and baking spice qualities. Lengthy, dry on the finish and delicious with best drinking from 2024 through 2030+.

2024 Coriole Fiano

McLaren Vale, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
$23. 99
Bottle
$287.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 1 Years (2024-2025)

ABV: 13%

Closure: Stelvin

One of the finest Australian Fiano’s we’ve tasted.
Fiano originates from a province in Campania, east of Naples and it’s perfectly suited to the McLaren Vale climate, so much so that it has become the regions fastest growing white wine category. Coriole planted Fiano in 2001 and their first commercial release was the 2005 vintage.
Fifteen percent of the blend was barrel fermented in older French hogsheads.
Brilliant water like core with a distinct greenish tint to the edges. Filling the nostrils are intense lime and green apple scents infused with fresh herbs which are trailed by some wet slate and flinty mineral like notes. Boasting superb concentration and textural volume, the mouth watering palate is awash with crunchy lime, green apple and citrus fruits. Infusions of Mediterranean herbs and stony mineral characters linger across the back half. Crisp acidity finishing dry, super long and scrumptious. A rich, textural style of Fiano that’s incredibly moreish.
Drink over the next year.
Alc. 13%
Other Reviews…..
The thing about Coriole Fiano, is that it tastes like Fiano. Is this the 20th release of this wine? Well, around about that.
Green apple, green herbs, a whiff of aniseed, lemon peel, and a little bit of seaside fun. It’s juicy, it’s quite savoury too, with some raw almond and herbs, a lively tang of green apple and pink grapefruit, a light chalky grip to texture and plenty of zing and energy, plus some quinine bitterness on a finish of excellent length. Bust out the calamari and chips, it’s game on. Drink 2024-2029+

IRELAND
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 25%

A liqueur named after Tom Muldoon, a healer and herbalist who used Irish whiskey in many of his remedies to which he would add wild hazelnuts for their curative powers. The contemporary version is silky smooth and extremely sweet, boasting ‘Crunchie’ chocolate bar flavours and honeycomb galore, finishing with fairy floss, a dollop of honey and suggestions of hazelnut. Popular in vegan circles because it has all the texture of a cream liqueur without any of the dairy, if you find it too sugary, reserve it as an ingredient in dessert cocktails. 25% Alc.Vol.

2016 Adelphi Ardmore 7 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$169. 99
Bottle
$2039.88 Dozen

ABV: 61.1%

Drinkers who don't mind a bit of smoke, "but not too much" are gravitating to Ardmore. It remains the only Highland distillery to have consistently produced peated malt since its inception. What's more, local peat is used, giving it a sense of place that differentiates it from Island styles. The peat is said to contribute a smokey sweetness to the malt, instead of a strong maritime or medicinal character. Ardmore's output remains largely reserved for the Teacher's blend. This Adelphi selection was matured in a single refill oloroso Sherry butt and is limited to 634 bottles. 61.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... "A real well balanced dram where I could quite happily work through the entire bottle - I wasn't expecting a great deal, but have been pleasantly surprised." - whiskybase.com

UNITED KINGDOM
$220. 00
Bottle
$2640.00 Dozen

ABV: 57.8%

Based in Derbyshire and founded in 2017, the White Peak Distillery debuted its first single malt in 2022. Adelphi have cottoned on to the quality from the get go. No doubt it's partly down to White Peak's unhurried approach. They start with local brewer’s yeast and an uncommonly long fermentation that captures a distinctive new make spirit before it goes into a cask. This youthful edition was distilled in 2019 and matured in a re-charred red wine barrique. It's described as a bit of a surprise, fantastically juicy with notes of red berries and almonds. The outturn was 323 bottles at 57.8% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

$3120.00 Dozen

ABV: 56.9%

From the Penderyn distillery, the first Welsh distillery in over a century, named for the small village of Penderyn near which it's situated. Originally employing a single Faraday still, this 2015 distillate may include some pot still material, as two traditional pot stills were added in 2014. The selection from Adelphi produced 247 bottles from a first-fill bourbon barrel. 56.9% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Yet another sherry driven malt in Adelphi's latest outturn is this middle-aged Benrinnes drawn from a refill oloroso hogshead. The wide cuts at this distillery play a part in creating a robust and meaty spirit. Adelphi's selection yielded 292 bottles at 54.4% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$240. 00
Bottle
$2880.00 Dozen

ABV: 58%

Adelphi, the owners of Ardnamurchan, have rather cheekily bottled their own product under the Adelphi label! We know how brilliant young Ardnamurchan can be, so no complaints. Two casks, both first-fill Oloroso butts (one containing peated spirit and another unpeated) were blended together in a larger than usual outturn for this indie, so there's a little bit more to go around! 1403 bottles at 58% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... "Thick mouthfeel with tar, charcoal and a hint of porter. Then some smoked paprika powder, fennel and prosciutto. Slivers of red fruits as well, but also gentle baking spices. Warming. Comforting. Finish: Medium to long. Somewhat dry. A tinge of oak spices. Slightly resinous. A tad jammy." - whiskybase.com

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$230. 00
Bottle
$2760.00 Dozen

ABV: 55.6%

It’s unlikely that Glen Elgin will become a major brand anytime soon, given how important it is to blenders. A combination of long, slow ferments, and distillation coupled with worm tubs yields a particularly fruity spirit. Adelphi have seasoned this selection in a refill oloroso sherry butt. The outturn was 487 bottles at 55.6% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
"We are in sherry territory. Has anyone noticed/felt that there are not as many around as there once were? One tires of ‘sherry bombs’ when the strong influence of previous contents overpowers, though this being Adelphi, there are also highly commendable attributes. Though perhaps not my preferred style these days, that doesn’t stop me from admiring this as objectively as I can. It’s a reminder that Adelphi knows how to select a cask. Just don’t expect much [if any] Elgin to come through." - whiskybase.com

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$1699. 00
Bottle
$20388.00 Dozen

ABV: 49.9%

This Longmorn from a refill bourbon hogshead is the oldest bottling in the latest Adelphi range. An appropriate choice, perhaps, as the distillery celebrates its 130th anniversary in 2024. It's also making a comeback, with a new core of age statements including an 18 and a 22 year old. Long ageing has tipped this cask strength gem just under the 100 proof mark landing it at 49.9% Alc./Vol. 222 bottles are on offer. Non chill filtered.
Notes from the bottlers... a sublime, alluring and complex character, with notes of lavender and violets, apricot, custard cream, tart grapefruit, key lime pie and macadamia nut... floral and fruity, but with a pleasant liqueur-like bitterness and appropriate heft.

Bottle
$4788.00 Dozen

ABV: 58%

A single cask selection of molasses-based rum, distilled in 2005 and left to mature in a bourbon barrel resulting in lots of fruit and funk. Trinidad Distillery remains one of the largest rum distilleries in the Caribbean, yet cask strength independent bottlings are seldom encountered. 244 bottles produced at 58% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Notes from the bottlers... On the nose, aromas of old rubber tires and unripe banana mix with overripe paya, guava and powerboat petrol. A lighter and brighter side shines through on the palate, with glorious powdered citrus fruit juice and oversweet lemonade, sherbet dip, Italian ice and blue raspberry softening that boozy funk from the nose.

There’s just a fraction more ripeness to the 2021 vintage over 2020.

Dense inky black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue.

Rich blackcurrant and mulberry fruits are concentrated and powerful yet beautifully refined in their feel.

Other Reviews….
After grenache, it is McLaren Vale cabernet that I enjoy the most of the Vale's reds. The iodine brininess that adds an additional element to the savoriness and gritty feel of the tannins is a winning regional stamp. The sage, bay leaves, black olives and lilt of garden herbs confer lift. There is ample power, yet good cabernet here is faithful to the variety with just a little more roundness. The case for drinking even more of it is a strong one. An excellent example. Drinkable now, but best from 2028. Screw cap.

From 35-year-old vines, 18 months in French oak (20% new). This is a relatively sumptuous rendition of cabernet, a wine with cascading mulberry, blackcurrant and plum fruit notes, but also one with bell-clear leafy and fragrant varietal definition. Cigar box notes, cassia, cedar, cracked pepper and black tea complex further. Eminently approachable, this also has the drive, verve and stuffing for a long life. Drink by 2038.

Shiraz sourced from the Hampel family vineyard in the northern grounds of the Barossa Valley where they have farmed grapes for six generations. Super-plush satsuma plum and blackberry fruits underscored by hints of baking spices, cedar, creme de cassis, violets, roasting meats, olive tapenade, chocolate bullets and earth. A core of deep northern Barossa black fruits on the palate with chocolate-dipped cherry overtones, fine chocolatey tannins and a crashing swell of cassis fruit on the long finish. Impressive.

Friuli, in the far northeast of Italy, has a reputation for making the country's best white wines. Winemaker Justin Bubb explains, "The key to this region is the difference in diurnal temperature. In the growing season the days are very warm but the nights freezing. This allows a nice, long ripening and wonderful aromatics for the white wines".
From a 30-year-old site in San Martino al Tagliamento, near Pordenone, the vineyard sits at the base of the Alps and the soils are a mix of clay and alpine gravel from alluvial deposits.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a watery hue. Aromas of pear and lime mix with hints of dried honey, apple and spice. Fleshy pear and spicy red apple fruits carry good shape across the palate with traces of lime and stony mineral accents lying underneath. Finishes dry with brisk acidity and a stony mineral laced conclusion.

Domaine Vacheron stands out as one of the top properties in Sancerre, crafting both white and red Sancerre wines with exceptional clarity and precision. Under the leadership of two young cousins, Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron, the domaine has fully embraced biodynamic farming practices. They refrain from using any synthetic materials in the vineyard, conduct hand-harvesting, and rely solely on fertilizer derived from compost. They intentionally keep yields low to enhance quality.
With access to prized vineyard parcels, the cousins adopt a Burgundian approach to winemaking in Sancerre. They ferment grapes from individual parcels separately and create unique blends each year. This approach allows them to explore the diverse terroirs of Sancerre and produce wines that reflect the nuances of each site.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a faint tinge of green around the edges and a watery hue. Aromas of green apple and lime mix with some green herb, subtle herbaceous gooseberry and wet stone notes. Nicely rounded in the mouth, lime and green apple fruits show good intensity over a wet stone infused back drop of fresh herbs and minerals. Finishes dry with a lick of fresh acidity and a long stony mineral laced aftertaste.

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

The Nonna Gisella Sangiovese is a warm, generous, and food-friendly wine. Medium-bodied with chalky tannins, red berry flavors, and floral notes, it pairs perfectly with pizza. Crafted using a mix of cold maceration for freshness and hot fermentation for depth, it is aged in a blend of large oak barrels, barriques (10% new oak), and stainless steel tanks to balance vibrancy and structure.
Other Reviews....
There’s character here. It’s a dry, smoky, meaty style of sangiovese with red cherry and cranberry flavours as the mainstay and plenty of fragrant herb notes flying about. It needs food but in that context it will sing. The grip of the finish won’t hurt its food friendliness; nor will the wine’s general smoky-spicy persona. It’s well priced, and a good drink. Drink 2024 - 2028.

2023 Elanto Vineyard Chardonnay

Mornington, Victoria, AUSTRALIA

Cellar: Drink now - 6 Years (2024-2030)

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Diam Cork

Elanto Vineyard, a 10.6-hectare high-density site on the Mornington Peninsula, is managed by acclaimed winemaker Sandro Mosele and his team. With 11,000 vines per hectare—four times the typical density—yields are limited to 300-500g per vine, enhancing concentration and power in the wines. Organic practices, deep soil cultivation, and volcanic basalt soils rich in iron stone encourage site-specific expression, while the vineyard's southeast aspect and cool sea breezes preserve natural acidity and freshness.
The three Chardonnay vineyards—Verge, Buckshot, and Seawinds—span 4 hectares on the lower slopes, where silt over clay transitions to lighter, gravelly soils rich in buckshot. The cool southerly airflow and soil profile preserve natural acidity and enhance mineral notes. Each vineyard was harvested and vinified separately, with hand-sorted fruit whole-bunch pressed directly into a mix of new and older French oak barriques for natural fermentation. After 10 months in barrel, the wine spent an additional two months in large concrete vats before bottling.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a subtle glimmer of green around the outskirts and a watery hue. Intense white peach, nectarine and dried honey scents are complimented by delicate biscuity oak, citrusy nougat and subtle flinty mineral elements. Long and showing a Burgundy like refinement across the palate, flavours of white peach, nectarine and citrus are brimming with freshness. Rich and concentrated yet light on its feet, notions of biscuity nougat, dried honey, faint crème brulee, subtle cashew and delicate infusions of flinty minerals lend further complexity. Possessing outstanding power and a cool tone, it concludes long and finessed with a gentle creamy textural feel.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Other Reviews….
As with the pinot noir, this is the inaugural release and it’s a beauty, enticing immediately with aromas of citrus blossom, ginger flower, struck flint and warm, woodsy spice. There’s a savouriness within, alongside grapefruit and pith, lemon-infused creamy lees, grilled nuts and oak spice, all adding layers of flavour. Moreish, thanks to a whisper of sulphides, and while the fuller-bodied palate is shapely, super fine acidity extends the length and ties everything together. It’s worth noting how this comes to be, other than from fruit off the high-density vineyard: whole-bunch pressed to French oak, 25% new and mostly light toast Sirugue barriques, aged on lees for 10 months then popped into Nico Velo Tulipe concrete vessels for two months before bottling. Drink by 2031.

Jane Faulkner – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen anything quite like the new Elanto vineyard on the Mornington Pensinula. Is it Australia’s largest close-planted vineyard? You’d reckon. It was all planted in one go, in 2018, and when I say all I mean 10.6 hectares of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, in one continuous vineyard, with rows only 1.2 metres apart, and vines only 0.75 metres apart. This spacing and this area means that the Elanto vineyard is 10.6 hectares of 11,111 vines each hectare, which equates to a vineyard made up of 117, 777 individual vines, arranged into eight separate blocks. The fact that it has all gone in essentially at once, and that it’s all trained to within an inch of its life, and that it was all mapped according to expert geological consultation – not to mention that no expense at any point along the way has been spared – means that even to a non-expert eye it’s abundantly clear that something extraordinary is in the works here.
The location of this vineyard is an elevated, south-east facing site at Balnarring, overlooking Western Port Bay. I’ve written more on Elanto over on the blog – here – but basically this is a remarkable site and the start of what promises to be a pretty special journey. Sandro Mosele, noted former winemaker of Kooyong and Port Phillip Estate, is in charge of the winemaking, and of plenty more besides.
The wine: Fantastic intensity of flavour matched to fantastic length. This is a chardonnay for lovers of chardonnay. There’s cedarwood oak in play, and a kind of nutty-creaminess too, but it’s the blaze of pear, white peach, grapefruit and steel that really woos. Citrussy acidity teams with the pear characters to give the wine an air of juicy refreshment, but everything is in the context of flavour, bold and delicious. This is an exceptional first release, and a truly beautiful wine. Drink 2024-2030+

With 11,000 vines per hectare—four times the typical density—yields are limited to 300-500g per vine, enhancing concentration and power in the wines. Organic practices, deep soil cultivation, and volcanic basalt soils rich in iron stone encourage site-specific expression, while the vineyard's southeast aspect and cool sea breezes preserve natural acidity and freshness.
The five Pinot Noir vineyards—Vertex, Ironstone, Chicory, Kilnside, and Basalt—span 6.7 hectares on the upper slopes with basalt-rich soils. The red volcanic soils transition to shallower, stonier terrain mid-slope, producing lower yields, concentrated flavors, and a distinct tannin profile. Each vineyard was harvested and vinified separately, with chilled, destemmed fruit (3-5% whole bunches) undergoing cold soak and natural fermentation in concrete vats. After 25-30 days on skins, the wine was pressed and aged in a mix of new and older French oak barriques for 11 months before blending and bottling.
Very deep dark red black tinged core with a dark red hue. Potently alluring aromas of dark cherries, strawberries, violet, dried herbs and subtle anise flood the olfactory senses with earthy rhubarb and spicy cedar notes ensuing. Rich and powerful the seductive palate has a wonderful velvet like feel to it with spicy dark cherry, strawberry and rhubarb flavours expanding across the palate like a peacocks tail, carrying with it ample textural volume. Lending further interest are brambly dried herb characters, forest floor and spicy cedar. Silky smooth tannins finishing very long, gorgeously fruited and supple.

Never in a million years would I have picked the vine age given the savouriness, detail and complexity in this wine. Fruit off four-year-old vines. Quite astonishing and yet, the proof is in the glass. Full of heady aromatics – all florals and wood spice with flavours of dark cherry, cherry compote and poached rhubarb. But it’s not at all fruity, as it also comes with a hint of charred radicchio and Italian bitter herbs. There’s a vivacity across the just medium-bodied palate, a little sinewy, yet savoury through and through; best of all, the shapely, fine tannins take charge as it finishes long and convincingly. Made from hand-picked fruit, whole-berries with 3% whole-bunches, fermented in Nico Velo Tulipe concrete vats, pressed off skins after a month and aged a year in mostly light toast François Frères barriques, 30% new. Drink by 2031.

There’s a lot going on with this Pinot Noir but it manages to feel effortless. Seamless is the word; finished is another. Campari-like herbs, roasted nuts, earth, undergrowth and sweet black cherries, the latter deep-set in Pinot Noir terms. There’s an excellent framework of tannin, firm and velvety at once, dry strings splayed out across a mesh made of hazelnuts. This wine became more expansive as it rested in the glass. This is the first Pinot Noir grown and made from this vineyard. It’s an exciting debut, with an even more exciting future. Drink 2024-2030+
