Giaconda Beechworth (Formerly Estate Vineyard) Shiraz 2013
$80.00Jeremy’s score 95/100A youthful, elemental shiraz whose briary aromas of cassis, blackberries, dark plums and smoky dark chocolate oak are lifted by spicy, peppery notes and reveal meaty, charcuterie-like undertones. Full to medium-bodied, it’s rather oaky in its youth, with a withdrawn presence of blackberries, dark plums, cassis and blueberries tightly knit with cedar/chocolate oak and underpinned by a firm but fine and crunchy backbone. It just needs time for its components to integrate, its acids to soften and for its savoury aspects to become more pronounced.

Giaconda Beechworth (Formerly Estate Vineyard) Shiraz 2015
$115.00Jeremy’s score 96/100Dark and smoky, with deep, spicy aromas of plums and berries backed by earthy, mineral notes. Long and deeply flavoured, with length and drive, it seamlessly marries dark fruits with chocolatey oak and meaty undertones, culminating in a measured, savoury finish.

Giaconda Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013
$300.00Jeremy’s score 96/100A supple and fine-grained pinot whose heady, floral perfume of red flowers, red cherries and berries has a dusty, cedary oak-derived note, a hint of musky spice, nuances of dried herbs and a note of Sicilian blood orange. Medium to full-bodied, itÕs long and elegant, with translucently clear core of cherry, plum and berry flavours and tight-knit crunchy tannins backed by a faint meatiness, a hint of clove and fennel. ItÕs likely to build substantial richness before then becoming finer and more savoury as it matures. Reminiscent of the stellar 1989 edition.
