Old Man Sun Oyster Thief Chardonnay 2025
$48.00Jeremy’s score 92/100An intriguing and brightly lit chardonnay scented with yellow flowers, grapefruit, yellow peach and lemon zest underpinned by notes of minerals, barley sugar and faintly buttery oak. It unfolds a vibrant and sumptuous core of citrus and stonefruit flavours supported by gentle oak and enriched by yeast-derived complexity and creaminess. Extending long and shapely, with a fine, drying mineral texture, it tapers neatly towards a lively but savoury finish with a touch of cold steel.

Peccavi The Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$150.00Jeremy’s score 98/100Simply an astonishing, classical and perfectly balanced cabernet revelling in its style and power. Its bouquet is saturated by with fruit and florals as pristine, concentrated scents of cassis, dark plums and black cherries are tightly knit with cedar/cigarboxy oak and lifted by sweet scents of violets and dried wild herbs. Underpinned by a firmish, powdery spine of drying tannins, its luscious, mouthfilling core of vivacious fruit extends tightly ordered and complete towards a lingering, dry and faintly mineral finish. Exuding class and finesse, it’s emphatic but controlled, flaunting its artful integration with excellent polished oak. A Queen Mary (reference the liner) of a cabernet, and one of the finest from Australia in decades.

Peccavi The Estate Merlot 2021
$150.00Jeremy’s score 97/100A superb, firm and assertive, genuinely Bordeaux-like merlot revealing a perfect balance between fruit and structure, oak and texture. Deep aromas of dark, ripe cherries, dark plums and fresh cedary oak are lifted by scents of dark blue and black flowers, revealing notes of mineral and gravel, cigarbox and blood plum with breathing. Initially quite fine and silky, its long, smooth and polished palate delivers remarkable plushness and texture, becoming firmer with time in the glass. Driving long and complete, it’s a remarkable marriage of varietal purity and flavour, with everything in perfect place to cellar for decades.

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.

Peter Lehmann Wigan Riesling 2018
$45.00Jeremy’s score 96/100A classic developing Eden Valley riesling whose pristine lemon/lime aromas are now revealing nuances of toast and butter backed by a slatey mineral aspect and an emerging smokiness. As vivacious as it is generous, its profoundly intense core of citrusy fruit drives long and generous down a typically schisty spine towards a lingering dry finish of mouthwatering, lemony acids.

Provenance Golden Plains Pinot Noir 2024
$35.00Jeremy’s score 92/100A fully ripened, compete and finely balanced Victorian pinot whose heady, musky scents of dark cherries, strawberries and gentle cedary oak reveal nuances of tomato stalk, cinnamon and briar. Underpinned by a fine, firmish spine of mineral tannins, its pristine core of vivacious fruit fills the mouth with layers of flavour and texture, extending with freshness and brightness towards a lingering finish of red licorice and a hint of molasses. Gently wrapped by a soft acidity, it’s heading towards a savoury style and is ready to enjoy now or over the next 2-5 years.

Robert Weil Kiedrich Klosterberg Riesling Trocken
$110.00Jeremy’s score 96/100A stunning off-dry riesling whose pristine scents of iris, lavender, white peach and pear precede a generous, mouthfilling palate of vivacious, translucently clear fruit. Supported by a fine chalkiness, it’s impressively long, pure and expressive, finishing with an artfully balanced punctuation of sweetness and refreshing acidity.
