GD Vajra Langhe Rosso 2022
$35.00Jeremy’s score 92/100One of the most vibrant, expressive and vivacious expressions of nebbiolo and related varieties you will see at this price, with a sweet fragrance of redcurrants, red cherries, blood plums and rose petals overlying nuances of musk, briar and a faint earthiness. It’s long and mouthwatering, with a vibrant core of translucently clear red fruits supported by a firm, chalky spine of fine tannins that develop more crunch with breathing. Wrapped in a refreshing acidity, it finishes savoury, with lingering tarry, meathy and earthy notes. Outstanding value.

Grey Sands Pinot Noir 2012
$98.00Jeremy’s score 95/100Richly flavoured and powerfully structured, this sleeper of a pinot has become an assertive, Volnay-styled wine of complexity and character. It’s heady and spicy, with layers of rich red and black berry/plum flavour that still retains some primary quality. Also sporting some faintly meaty, gamey development and underpinned by a firmish, grainy spine, it has developed length and power plus some remarkable varietal expression. A truly stellar and genuinely savoury wine, and one I did not predict would evolve into this standard. Happy to admit I was wrong!

Grey Sands The Mattock Dry Red 2016
$58.00Jeremy’s score 94/100A powerful, structural, textural right bank Bordeaux style with an astringent grip, texture, power and length. Dark plums, cherries, cassis and redcurrants are integrated with cedar/dark chocolate oak, with a hint of cigarbox beneath. Quite a sleeper, it’s still looking very young, and could use plenty more time. There’s just a hint of mint and menthol, but they are likely to diminish as it ages. Extraordinary value for a wine of this maturity.

Hoddles Creek Estate Chardonnay 2024
$26.00Jeremy’s score 94/100Evaluated shortly after bottling, this round, generous and fruit-driven chardonnay marries its ripe, luscious core of grapefruit, lemon, melon and faintly guava-like fruit with restrained creamy vanilla oak and gentle nutty complexity. It’s surprisingly fragrant and lightly buttery, driving long and complete towards a refreshing finish of mouthwatering lemony acidity. It’s certainly going to flesh out further and has everything needed to cellar with considerable style.

Hoddles Creek Estate Pinot Noir 2023
$26.00Jeremy’s score 92/100Brightly lit aromas of raspberries, red cherries, musky spices and a whiff of beetroot are backed by floral scents of red rose petals. It’s supple, gentle and medium-bodied, settling down to reveal pleasing red berry/cherry fruits underpinned by a fine, drying backbone of silky tannins and punctuated by a balanced acidity. It will certainly build more richness and depth over time.

Hoddles Creek Syberia Chardonnay 2022
$72.00Jeremy’s score 96/100A finely crafted and measured chardonnay whose profoundly perfumed and floral bouquet of grapefruit, lemon, white flowers and a whiff of sherbet reveals suggestions of yellow peach, creamy and nutty nuances plus a briney whiff of oyster shell. Its intense core of vibrant fruit iis perfectly offset by its slatey minerality and its dry, almost saline finish. It’s quite outstanding, with a reserved but important contribution from oak and is likely to age beautifully. Today there’s a legion of Australian winemakers trying to achieve by manipulation in the cellar what this wine delivers quite naturally – it’s a pure reflection of its excellent site.

It’s palate is expressive and mouthwatering, with a rich core of dark, bloody fruit supported by a drying, slatey spine that extends with true length and balance towards a lingering savoury finish. Terrific value, from a fine maker.
