2013 Chalmers Aglianico RRP $48
The balanced, savoury palate shows subtle fruitcake spices, tobacco, leather, herbal notes and candied orange rind with a pleasant mouth-watering acidity and the fine, smooth, building tannins you would expect of the variety. An elegant and structured medium weight wine which, although it has already been cellared before release, still has excellent potential for long ageing. – Chalmers
2015 Dalwhinnie Moonambel Shiraz RRP $96
Dalwhinnie seldom misses the target, and certainly didn’t in ’15. This has Rolls Royce power, with no need to flaunt it. Black fruits of all descriptions have a (fruit) sweet edge that is quite delicious, the mouthfeel supple the palate of effortless length, French oak just a cog in the engine. 96 Points. James Halliday, The Wine Companion
2017 Holyman Pinot Noir RRP $107
If the wine didn’t come from Tasmania, you’d be transfixed by its vivid hue and clarity, likewise the brightness and purity of its aromas and flavours, built within a citadel of dark cherry and satsuma plum, the certainty of spices and flowers around the corner. A very, very seductive pinot. 96 points. James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion 2021
2013 TWR Single Vineyard Pinot Noir RRP $91
It has an enchantingly bright and perfumed nose with violet-like florals, sweet baking spices and beautifully pure red cherry fruits. The palate has impressive structure and textural complexity, the tannins swirl, the acidity shines and the fruit flavours in the red cherry and redcurrant spectrum run deep, long and deceptively powerful. 96 points.
