Chateau Mouton-Rothschild Le Petit Mouton (Formerly Le Second Vin) Cabernet Blend 1993
$340.00Jeremy’s score NR / 100 -
Chateau Teyssier Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2019
$70.00Jeremy’s score 95/100A classic Old World blend – in this case from merlot and cabernet franc. Its earthy, faintly leathery fragrance of dark cherries, redcurrants, blueberries and dark plums reveals cedary oak and a whiff of dried herbs. Supported by a fine but kernelly backbone, it’s long and elegant, with a charming depth of dark, luscious fruits, cigarbox and chocolatey oak. The longer it breathes, the more textural, chewy and savoury it becomes, but there’s never ever any shortage of fruit. Watch it evolve.

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.
-
Coulter C2 Sangiovese 2022
$34.00Jeremy’s score 91/100Earthy, faintly mineral aromas of dark plums, dark cherries, cedar/dark chocolate oak and gravelly undertones reveal suggestions of meatiness and licorice. It’s medium to fullish in body, with a juicy, fiery core of bright, faintly confectionary dark cherry, plum and berry flavours underpinned by fine, grippy tannins. True to variety, it finishes with some savoury, meaty aspects and a distinctive acidity.
-
Coulter C3 Pinot Noir 2022
$34.00Jeremy’s score 93/100An elegant, supple pinot of medium to fullish weight whose musky, floral fragrance of red cherries, redcurrants, blood plums and sweet cedar/vanilla oak reveals notes of paprika-like spice and chocolate. It’s long, gentle and evenly paced, with layers of bright fruit and oak knit with a faintly gravelly, mineral spine, finishing with freshness and balance. Pleasingly savoury; a little reminiscent stylewise of Tollot Beaut.
-
Coulter C3 Pinot Noir 2023
$34.00Jeremy’s score 90/100A bright, perfumed young pinot whose musky aromas of raspberries, cherries and rose petals reveal a hint of citrus oil and spice. It’s long and supple, with a village Beaujolais-like weight, with a juicy core of fruit supported by fine, powdery tannins and a hint of dusty oak, finishing with a vivacious acidity. Likely to build richness and depth of the next couple of years.
