Chateau de Rayne Vigneau Sauternes 1986

Chateau Filhot Sauternes 2019
$48.00Jeremy’s score 95/100A very classy and artfully balanced dessert wine with plenty of fruit and considerable botrytis influence. Scented with peach, melon, apricot and orange rind with a whiff of marzipan, it’s long and mouthfilling. Its viscous, creamy and richly fruited palate is backed by a hint of vanilla oak and wrapped in soft acids, finishing with suggestions of lemon and brioche.

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.

Clarnette Grenache 2022
$39.00Jeremy’s score 94/100Scented with musky spices, rose petals, dark cherries and whiff of blueberry, it’s smooth, supple and gentle, with a powdery spine of loose-knit tannins that will build more firmness with time. Gentle, unctuous, easy-paced and packed with perfectly ripened fruit, it finishes quite savoury in a southern Rhone-ish style, with a lingering core of flavour, mouthwatering acids and a suggestion of red licorice. Recently opened, it was at its best of Day 3, which gives you some idea of its quality, balance and ageability. A totally unexpected pleasure.

Clarnette Viognier 2022
$36.00Jeremy’s score 90/100A spicy scent of white peach, apricot and tangerine lifted by musky, floral aromas precede a long and very restrained palate whose shape and restraint present an appealing alternative to the more oily and coarse expression of many viogniers. It’s savoury, dry and lively – a positive match for many sweet and spicy Asian dishes.

Corymbia Rocket’s Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2022
$32.00Jeremy’s score 92/100A luscious, mouthfilling white of medium weight whose deep, heady perfume suggests white peach, melon, honeysuckle plus a whiff of spice and dried herbs. It’s long and smooth, with a creamy core of fruit underpinned by a fine, powdery texture and finishing with a refreshing,frisky acidity.

Corymbia Rocket’s Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2023
$32.00Jeremy’s score 93/100Simply delicious, this beautifully balanced, creamy and layered chenin blanc reveals a faintly smoky and waxy bouquet of green melon, white peach and creamy, nutty, nougat-like undertones. It’s luscious but far from heavy – delivering a creamy, nutty core of white peach, melon and apple that extends long and generous down a fine chalkiness towards a mouthwatering finish of soft, measured acidity.

Corymbia Rocket’s Vineyard Tempranillo Malbec 2022
$42.00Jeremy’s score 94/100I love what Rob Mann does to craft this exceptional wine from his family’s mature Swan Valley site. Wild, briary and floral, laced with black and blue berries, redcurrants, dark chocolates and blood plums, it reveals a hint of dried herbs. Fullish to medium in weight, its wonderful length of juicy, vivacious black and blue fruits is framed by a firmish, drying extract, finishing long, mineral and savoury with a lingering note of licorice. Since its inception, this label has totally reset the bar for Swan Valley red wine.

Corymbia Rocket’s Vineyard Tempranillo Malbec Blend 2023
$44.00Jeremy’s score 94/100Genius winemaking and a superbly managed site has created the best Swan Valley red in decades. Laced with fiery scents of paprika and eastern spice, its heady bouquet of dark violet-like floral notes, blackberries, dark plums, briar and dark chocolates reveals a hint of roasting meats. It’s sumptuous and bloody, long and mouthfilling, unfolding a smooth core of dark, perfectly ripened fruits framed by firmish fine tannins before finishing with softness, savoury qualities and a lingering note of licorice.

Coulter C1 Chardonnay 2022
$34.00Jeremy’s score 94/100A stylish, flavoursome modern chardonnay whose emphasis on bright grapefruit, white peach and melon-like fruit is deftly backed with restrained oak and nutty, creamy, nougat-like yeast-derived influences. It’s long and focused but has a ripe core of fleshy flavour, extending with translucent brightness and intensity down a fine, slatey spine towards a crisp, focused and refreshing finish. Watch it build with time.
