Brand’s Laira Blockers Cabernet Sauvignon 2024
$22.00Jeremy’s score 91/100A polished, plush and varietally expressive young cabernet whose densely packed aromas of cassis, mulberries, dark plus and cedar/chocolate oak precede a long and sumptuously flavoured palate whose pristine core of ripe fruit is underpinned by a fine, firmish spine of slatey tannins. There’s just a hint of mint and menthol about this fine Coonawarra red that should continue to develop in the bottle for at least a decade.

Chateau de Rayne Vigneau Sauternes 1986
$280.00Jeremy’s score NR / 100A warm summer following a cold winter and cool springtime has delivered a beautifully mature and complex dessert wine right in the window of balance between development and freshness.
-
Chateau Langoa Barton Grand Cru Classe 2019 (375 ml)
$95.00Jeremy’s score 95/100Laden with intense dark berries, cherries and plum-like fruit knit with classically cigarboxy oak and supported by a fine, silky extract, this elegant and flavoursome St Julien is scented with dark flowers, dried herbs and cedar. Impressively long, measured and sumptuous to enjoy now, but with the ability to age long and gracefully.
-
Chateau Margaux Cabernet Blend 1983
$3,100.00Jeremy’s score 98/100An exercise in balance and finesse, this is a classic Margaux that delivers a truly exceptional bouquet of smoky, cigarboxy and underbrush, with a long, silky and red-fruited palate that seamlessly extends forever. One of the highlights of this spectacular vintage.

Mount Mary Quintet Cabernet Blend 2010
$285.00Jeremy’s score 90/100A deep, alluring perfume of violets, cassis, raspberries and mulberries is augmented by fresh, fine-grained cedar/vanilla oak and undertones of dried herbs. With time it has begun to reveal suggestions of wet wool and lanolin, losing the brightness of its youth. It’s still supple and fine-grained, with a lively core of red berry flavour, but it’s drying out from the finish and does finish with some slightly edgy and awkward aspects.
-
Mount Mary Quintet Cabernet Blend 2011
$250.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Willowy and elegant, with the structure, length and balance and mature with grace. Dusty and faintly herbal aromas of small black and red berries, mulberries and violets backed by restrained oak and musky forest floor undertones, reveal a hint of capsicum. Initially plump and juicy, it’s medium to full-bodied, with restrained but lively black and red berry and plum flavours supported by reserved oak and a supple spine of dusty tannin. It finishes with length and persistence, but with some underlying herbal notes and a suggestion of green-edged acidity.

Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz 2005
$650.00Jeremy’s score 93/100Deeply flavoured, this firmly structured, ripe and astringent shiraz reveals a briary, spicy bouquet whose deep scents of mulberries, dark cherries, blackberries and smoky vanilla/cedar oak are backed by nuances of dark olives. Brooding and deeply layered, with dark plum and berry flavours underpinned by drying, sinewy tannins, it is likely to flesh out with more fruit sweetness and roundness in the years ahead.
-
Saltram Mamre Brook Shiraz 2023
$30.00Jeremy’s score 91/100While it’s a hefty 14.5% alcohol, this Barossa shiraz reveals the restrained and approachability you see from the cooler seasons. Its aromas and flavours of cassis, blackberries, dark plums and blueberries knit tightly with cedary, chocolatey oak, while its soft, round and slightly warm palate is framed by a gentle cut of pliant tannins. It’s no fruit bomb, and neither does it finish sweet. Instead, it’s a pleasing, generous and approachable Barossa shiraz for those who enjoy the species but don’t fancy being whacked by it.
