Scorpo Pinot Noir 2020
$60.00Jeremy’s score 94/100It’s been pleasing to see the evolution of structure in this label over the years, and the 2020 edition delivers the drive, perfume and structure I now expect from this site. A heady, floral perfume of red cherries, blood plums, reveals a whiff of citrus oil ana mushroom. It’s long and fleshy, with a charmingly plump core of cherry/berry fruit that moves down a loose-knit spine towards a spicy finish of red licorice. Very reserved, but likely to build considerably over time.

Seppelt Limited Release Show Sparkling Shiraz 2012
$100.00Jeremy’s score 97/100Classic Great Western shiraz given the full Champagne treatment – one of the finest examples of Australia’s unique sparkling wine. 2012 delivers a vintage whose exceptional bouquet of mulberries, cassis, dark plums and dark chocolates reveals nuances of sous bois, mushrooms and cigarbox. Long, crackly and creamy, it delivers a vivacious core of blackberries, blueberries, cassis and dark plums underpinned by a fine chalkiness. Given crunch and texture courtesy its fine effervescence, it reveals a hint of sweetness that is finely balanced by tannins and acids. Superbly balanced, already complex, it’s set for the ultra long term.

Seppeltsfield Barossa Shiraz 2021
$35.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Ripe and vivacious, with mouthfilling flavours of dark cherries, cassis and dark plums backed by chocolatey, cedary oak, this is a shiraz of medium to fullish body, but an approachable, gentle spine and a refreshing finish.
-
Seppeltsfield Barossa Touriga 2022
$30.00Jeremy’s score 91/100An unctuous, delicious and densely packed red whose heady bouquet of dark flowers, dark chocolates, briar and licorice is lifted by scents of musk stick and Turkish Delight. Medium to fullish in weight, its mouthfilling core of flavour drives long and smooth down a crunchy spine of chalky tannins, finishing with a refreshing acidity.

Seppeltsfield EC4 Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2021
$50.00Jeremy’s score 95/100A long-term classic from the Barossa whose ripe, voluminous aromas of cassis, redcurrants and cedar/cigarboxy oak reveal notes of chocolate and plum. It’s long and polished, with a smooth, unctuous core of powerful shiraz with its eastern spice and textural cabernet with its cassis and mulberry flavour, extending down a fine-grained spine of firm tannins before finishing with drive and persistence. It’s ok to enjoy now but still very youthful, so try to give it a chance in the cellar.

Shaw + Smith M3 Chardonnay 2022
$53.00Jeremy’s score 94/100An elegant, harmonious chardonnay whose smoky bouquet of white peach, grapefruit, creamy nougat and faintly toasty oak reveals complex notes of mineral, coriander and oyster shell plus a whiff of lemon blossom. Long and generous, with a smooth core of fruit that moves effortlessly down a smooth, fluffy and faintly chalky palate, it finishes with pleasing shape and definition, with a refreshing acidity. Drink or keep – your call.

Shaw + Smith M3 Chardonnay 2023
$55.00Jeremy’s score 93/100A gentle, smooth and fluffy chardonnay whose faintly toasty fragrance of grapefruit, lemon, yellow peach and melon reveals nuances of vanilla oak, coriander and oyster shell. Medium in weight, it’s gentle and supple, delivering a restrained, creamy but brightly lit core of citrus, stonefruit and melon gentle wrapped in soft acids. A very charming, shorter-term expression of this wine.
-
Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc 2023
$35.00Jeremy’s score 93/100Punchy, ripe aromas of lychees, gooseberries and passionfruit backed by suggestions of cassis precede a juicy, penetrative palate whose mouthfilling core of flavour drives long and generous before being neatly wrapped in a taut, lemony acidity. A frisky, focused sauvignon blanc without a trace of the herbaceous aspects often associated with the variety.

Shaw + Smith Shiraz 2021
$56.00Jeremy’s score 95/100Musky, faintly meaty aromas of redcurrants, blackberries, blood plums and faintly smoky cedar/vanilla oak reveal scents of tomato stalk, citrus oil and licorice. It’s medium to fullish in body, with a pleasing core of briary blackberry and dark plum-like fruit underpinned by a schuisty backbone of mineral tannins and overlying some youthful and herbal whole bunch ferment notes. I’m certain this Rhone-inspired shiraz will find pleasing balance in the coming 2-3 years, especially given the expression and quality of its fruit.

Stoney Rise Pinot Noir 2023
$35.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Fragrant and flavoursome, this medium-bodied pinot from Tasmania’s Tamar Valley is scented with vibrant aromas of cherries and raspberries and unfolds a long, vivacious palate supported by a fine slatey backbone and wrapped in a refreshing acidity. It’s delightful, savoury and ready to enjoy.
-
Swinney Grenache 2022
$45.00Jeremy’s score 92/100Pretty and perfumed, with a youthful bouquet of raspberries, beetroot and earthy notes lifted by musky spices and floral notes. It’s elegant and medium-bodied, long and gentle, with a smooth core of fruit supported by a gentle spine of powdery, faintly mineral tannins, finishing soft and savoury with a lick of slate.
-
Swinney Mourvèdre 2022
$45.00Jeremy’s score 95/100Heady, meaty and powerfully aromatic, it’s laced with blackberries, Morello cherries and cedar/chocolate oak, lifted by exotic scents of eastern spice and blue flowers and backed by musky, meaty notes. Medium to fullish in weight, with a fine, gravelly backbone neath its powerful expression of dark berry/cherry fruit, it’s artfully knit with oak, extending stylishly towards a savoury finish. It’s an outstanding wine that becomes firmer and more granular with time in the glass, suggesting it will build considerably with bottle-age.
