Andean Vineyards
ARGENTINA
Silver (Best in Class)
Alta Vista
Alta Vista Pemium Malbec 2007
Malbec - Mendoza - 2007
Dense opaque crimson colour to rim, youthful. Lifted fragrant nose,
autumn berries and sweet black bramble fruits. The mouthfeel is
silky yet tight, lovely balance of tannin, fruit and acid, excellent
weight and a long fine finish. Everything points to a long future for
this wine.
Andean Vineyards
Elementos Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Cabernet Sauvignon - Mendoza - 2006
Crimson colour to rim. Attractive nose, dark black fruits, smoked
meat and coffee. The palate is expressive, plenty of fruit with quite
firm tannins, this needs some time to develop but is very promising.
Andean Vineyards
Elementos Shiraz Malbec 2007
Syrah/Malbec - Regions of Argentina - 2008-2007
Inky deep dark colour, opaque and youthful. Wonderful nose, black
forest gateaux, gently cooked black fruits, cherries, cream and
mocha. This wine is open and inviting now, generous in the mouth,
very satisfying but has plenty of potential for some medium term
cellaring.
Bodegas Etchart
The Waxed Bat Shiraz Petit Verdot 2007
Syrah/Petit Verdot - Mendoza - 2007
Etchart Privado Malbec 2007
Malbec - Cafayate - 2007-2006
Inky blue black colour to rim. Arresting spicy aromas of pepper,
smoke, cinnamon and liquorice. There are fantastic lavish ripe fruits
in the mouth, full bodied, muscular tannins and noticeable acids. The
whole is very balanced and an excellent example of how well these
two varietals combine.
Almost opaque colour, which extends to the rim. Nose offers lots of
spice, liquorice, olive, soy over mulberry and black plum fruits. Tight
and grippy in the mouth, lots of tannins, which are ripe and
firm,masses of juicy fruit, all wound up in a smoky sweet oak
embrace. Delicious, but needs time to develop.

Salentein Reserve Malbec 2006
Malbec - Uco Valley - 2007-2006
Etchart Privado Torrontes 2008
Torrontes - Salta - 2008-2007
Dark ruby colour and well advanced in its development and maturity,
with expressive fruity nose characterised by bold aromas of damson,
dark berry fruit, coffee and raisins. The palate is supple, with dry,
upfront elegant and complex flavour. Middle weight, slightly tannic
and of impressive length: will improve further.
This has the palest straw colour, fresh zingy and zesty primary aromas
combining citrus, peach and exotic fruit: already very attractive and
will become even more so with a little time to develop and integrate.
The palate is full of generous flavours, a pot-pourri of tropical fruit and
spice with a backbone of mineral laden acidity: persistent and
mouthwatering
Bodega Salentein
Salentein Numina 2004
Malbec/Merlot - Salta - 2005-2004
Despite its considerable age this wine retains an almost opaque
purplish black colour which is a prelude to its intense nose, very ripe,
with some tar and plums in brandy. The maturity and intensity carry
through to the palate where a tenuous backbone lends a slightly
chewey texture, fleshed out with sumptuous black berry fruit.
Excellent.
Bodegas Etchart
Bodegas Graffigna
Graffigna Centenario Pinot Grigio 2007
Pinot Grigio - San Juan - 2008-2007
Pale straw colour. The contrast between nose and palate provides for
interest in this well made wine, which has a touch of bread-crust and
baker's yeast on the nose, elegant, serious and slightly austere. The
palate, however, is suprisingly sweet, soft and warm with a high level
of alcohol and ample, long flavours.
Bodegas Nieto Senetiner
Etchart Arnaldo B 2005
Blended Red Wine - Malbec Dominated - Salta
Cadus Malbec 2004
Malbec - Lujan de Cuyo - 2007-2004
Deep earthern red colour opaque core. Earthy nose, humidor scents
with sweet jammy fruit. Very lovely elegant palate, very well judged
oak gives a wonderful showcase to the intense spicy fruit. Balance is
excellent and all leads to a long drawn out finish. Very well made and
with lots of potential for ageing.
Intriguing bouquet in which are mingled herbal, menthol and spicy
notes. It's dark dense purple in colour with a Port-like, fully extracted,
super ripe fruit intensity both on nose and palate with bramble and
black-cherry fruit. This is held by a firm backbone. Slightly austere,
assertive 'macho' wine with great staying power.

Santa Julia Premium Malbec 2006
Malbec - Mendoza - 2006
Watery pale lemon green colour, bright and clear. Lifted intense
nose, gooseberries, passionfruit with bay leaf and blackcurrant.
Crisp and zesty in the mouth full flavoured and wonderfully fruity with
a lipsmacking long satisfying finish. Beautiful.
Despite its lack of maturity, as indicated by the very pale straw colour,
this wine is positively bursting forth with a zesty, nostril filling scented
aromas. Gloriously rich in the mouth, superbly ripe sweet, full
flavoured, generous and refreshing. A touch of quinine and good
minerality give it exellent balance and it should quickly attain
complexity.
Deep inky crimson to rim. Lifted ripe nose, floral scents of violet and
iris, crushed blueberry and mulberry fruits, malty oak and scented
smoke. Smooth silky and exotic in the mouth, fruit and spice mingle
with oaky nuances and lead to a long, fruit driven finish. A very fine
wine indeed.
Bodegas Y Vinedos Pascual Toso SA
Pascual Toso Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2006
Cabernet Sauvignon - Maipu - 2008-2006
Deep inky core colour with a small garnet edge. Forward fruitcake
nose, smoky oak, coconut and dark chocolate. Firm structure in the
mouth, plenty of spicy oak upholding ripe fleshy fruits. Balanced and
very long.
Bodegas Y Vinedos Pascual Toso SA
Magdalena Toso 2005
Malbec - Maipu - 2008-2005
Dense, black purple ruby colour. Complex and multi-faceted mature
bouquet, revealing cofee, vanilla, cloves and black cherry. On the
palate it is ripe, warm, rich yet quite dry, with silky tannins and well
integrated, attractive oak. This is already drinking well and will go on
improving over the next 2-3 years.

Blended Red Wine - Malbec Dominated - Regions of Mendoza 2006-2004
Deep black core colour with a small garnet rim. Very intense nose,
lifted spicy fruit character, clove, smoke, leather, sandalwood, meat,
dark fruit compote. Great mouthfilling wine, big on everything,
tannin, fruit, spice and alcohol. Although big, it has elegance and
presence. Showing some maturity but will go on for a long time yet.
Corpora Vineyards & Winery
Calafate Malbec Reserve 2007
Malbec - Patagonia - 2007-2005
Dark purplish-black ruby, with a delicious youthful aroma of slightly
pungent, smoky oak and a touch of spice. Surprisingly smooth and
round in the mouth with refined, silky texture. This has the hallmark
of quality from a cool climate. Lean, elegant dry and impressive.
Dark crimson red colour. Atttractive aromas, rose petal, cherry,
strawberry, woodsmoke and earth. Sweet and ripe on the palate, the
fruit is shot with spice and oak influence, the mouthfeel is creamy and
satisfying. Beautifully balanced, and very long, a lovely example of
the variety.
Finca Flichman SA
Finca Flichman Paisaje de Tupungato 2005
Blended Red Wine - Cabernet Sauvignon Dominated - Regions of
Mendoza - 2005
Dark earthen crimson to rim. Lovely lifted nose, cassis, plum and
macaroon. Smoky sweet palate, damson jam, cassis and spice over
firm tannins. Balanced, fine and suave, sweetly oaky on the finish,
which is very long.
Finca Flichman SA
Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite)
Bold and brash, forward and inviting with assertive, slightly overripe
mature bouquet Still almost black, purplish ruby in colour, it reveals a
rich blackberry jam quality, with hints of tobacco and leather.
Polished, with round ripe big flavours balancing and complementing
the solid tannic structure. Should age well for 3 or more years.

This wine has a dense, crimson-black colour. The nose combines
earthy, almost gamey and vegetal aromas with cassis, damson and
blackberry. Both varietals are defined on the palate which has a
velvety texture, quite muscular and a firm tannic structure, fleshed out
and balanced with ample ripe fruit. It will soften with age.

is very evident on the palate, great weight of ripe fruits, oak shows
dominance now and tightens up the very long spicy finish.

Cabernet Sauvignon - Uco Valley - 2005-2004
Deep inky red with a garnet rim. The nose has great Cabernet
typicity, blackcurrant, cedar, cigar box and spice. Very characterful in
the mouth, lovely firm structure and excellent balance. Plenty of life
here, this will age gracefully.
Finca La Celia
La Celia Reserva Chardonnay 2007
Chardonnay - Regions of Mendoza - 2008-2007
ARGENTINA WINES
Pale lemon straw colour; fragrant, with apples and tropical fruit
aromas, especially guava and pineapple, with a mineral chalky nose.
The palate offers ripe clean fruit with a sweet and sour quality which
is very appealing and refreshing. Developing well, with good length.
Very good winemaking.

Late Harvest Wine - Viognier - San Juan - 2006
Finca Las Moras Reserva Shiraz 2006
Syrah - San Juan - 2008-2005
Rich gold in colour with dusty, zesty oak. The bouquet is redolent of
tangy marmalade and a suggestion of botrytis, denied by the zesty
acidity. Dried figs, apricots and citrus peel all feature on the palate
along with some toffee. It's luscious but refreshing with lively crisp
acidity, long and utterly delicious.
Deep ruby verging to garnet. Complex bouquet with cedar,
cinnamon, tobacco, pepper and dried mushrooms. The oak is
elegantly applied lending class and distinction to the palate, which is
smoky, fleshy, chewey and exquisitely elegant. Dry peppery finish: it
should be aged further.
Finca Las Moras
Finca Las Moras
Finca Las Moras Cabernet 2006
Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc - San Juan - 2006
Deep dense crimson red colour. Lovely intense nose, black and red
currant fruit, sweet herbs and cedarwood. Ripe fruits on the tongue,
the tannins are supple and hold the structure well, lovely balance of
acidity and fruit. This will last in the cellar for some time, though
delicious now. A beautifully made wine, very harmonious.

Malbec - San Juan - 2008-2005
Finca Las Moras Black Label Viognier 2007
Viognier - San Juan - 2008-2007
A dark glossy inky purple black colour. Dark brooding nose, slowly
offers dark berried fruit, sweet plum, cinnamon, autumn fires and
fresh earth. The palate is complex and layered. Beautifully balanced
with fruit, acid and tannins in harmony but held in youthful muscular
grip. The finish is lavish, long and intense. Wonderful wine.
This has a dusty oak, citrussy, aromatic nose which also gives
hazelnuts, honey and peach. A touch unctuous in its rich complexity
of flavours, not without elegance, vibrant and stimulating. Lovely
greenish gold tinge and a long lingering finish with a touch of bitter
almonds. Very stylish.
Finca Las Moras
Finca Las Moras
Finca Las Moras Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2006
Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz - San Juan - 2006
Dark inky red purple colour to rim. Sweet black autumn fruits on the
nose, a touch of fruitcake and liquorice. Very smooth in the mouth,
luscious ripe fruits layered on a palate of sinewy tannins and sweet
oak. Very moreish, plenty of elegance here in a wine that is so
appealing.
Finca Las Moras
Finca Las Moras Chardonnay 2007
Chardonnay - San Juan - 2007
Introduced by a deep garnet colour with mahogany at the rim, this
wine is simply stunning: On the nose it has opulent chocolatey and
licorice maturity and its riches extend to the palate with mouthfilling,
ripe, ample flavours of great depth and length. Harmoniously
displaying power and finesse and almost at its peak.

Finca Las Moras Mora Negra 2005
Malbec/Bonarda - San Juan - 2005
Finca Sophenia Synthesis Malbec 2006
Malbec - Tupungato - 2007-2006
Purple-black inky colour, very impressive, and fully extracted, with
real Malbec typicality and the redcurrant and rasperry traits of the
Bonarda. It still has a youthful character, very assertive, firmly tannic
and grippy mouthfeel, but with a rich sweet core and fine intensity. It
needs, and will benefit from, further ageing.
This wine has dense, black crimson colour and a slightly pungent fully
ripe bouquet. Dense, savoury and firm in the mouth, dry, almost
chewey. Well structured and balanced, with good depth and
concentration, and some greenness. A serious, well made wine which
needs more time.

Pale greenish straw. Delicious fragrant aromas of apricot and
almonds with nuances of angelica, rose petal and lychees.The flavour
is full, luscious, smooth and very mellow, with considerable weight
and multi-layered, balanced by crisp mouthwatering acidity. This is
benchmark Torrontes.
SAEV Escorihuela
Escorihuela High Altitude Chardonnay 2008
Chardonnay - Mendoza - 2008-2006
Well forward for such a young wine with a bright, pale gold colour.
The nose is quite charming, fragrant, creamy and delicate. The taste
denotes perfectly ripe fruit, sweet and already well integrated and
balanced. A touch of almonds brings a tantalising twist to the finish.
Enjoy now or wait a while.

Finca Flichman SA
Valle de La Puerta Torrontes 2007
Torrontes - Famatina Valley - 2008-2007
This Torrontes seems to have the best of both traditional and modern
styles. It is very pale straw in colour and diplays zingy fresh grapey
and peachy aromas, whilst delivering a full, round complex palate
which is sweet, almost fat and savoury and finishes quite dry. A little
extra time will be of benefit.
Deep garnet red with a pink edge. Medium intense nose, ripe and
soft. Lovely balance in the mouth, sweet ripe fruit, supple tannins
and gentle oak. Ripe round and perfectly developed. Lovely elegant
style.

Aramis Vineyards Pty Ltd
Aramis Black Label Shiraz 2004
Shiraz - McLaren Vale - 2004
Château Reynella Shiraz 2005
Shiraz - McLaren Vale - 2005
Dense inky red purple colour to rim. Initially quite oaky on the nose,
this opens into wonderful violet perfume, followed by dark cherry,
blackberry and framboise, dark chocolate and a touch of liquorice.
The palate is full, very smooth and layered, lavish fruits with a tense
ripe tannin hold. Power and elegance, complexity with a sensational
finish. Beautifully expressive.
Inky purple black colour almost to rim. Black currant, cherry and
damson plum aromas, chocolate cake, menthol and cedary oak. The
palate has weight and concentration, wonderfully extracted fruit and
ripe tannins, the oak and acid lending a counterbalance to the
lusciousness of the fruit. It comes together brilliantly smooth in the
mouth, coursing along, polished and very fine. Will evolve with
medium term cellaring.
Kellermeister Holdings Pty Ltd
Trevor Jones Wild Witch Shiraz 2005
Shiraz - Barossa Valley - 2005
Constellation Wines Australia
Inky red black to rim. Liquorice, grilled meat, loganberry, smoke and
warm spices on the nose. The mouthfeel is chocolately, still with a
muscular meaty element, chewy ripeness of fruit, intense brawny
palate, great finish, could certainly handle some short term cellaring.
Berton Vineyards
Berton Bonsai Shiraz 2004
Shiraz - High Eden - 2004
Dark intense crimson ruby core, shading to garnet. The nose is
redolent with the scents of autumn, ripe forest berries, woodsmoke,
wild herbs, fresh earth, and more. The palate is velvet, raspberry
coulis shot with scented spice, peppery minerality, displayed on a
firm tannic structure with a cloak of lovely integrated oak. Absolutely
superb finish which is neverending. Could only be a Gold.
Brokenwood
Verona Shiraz 2006
Shiraz - Hunter Valley - 2007-2004
Cedar and pronouced red and black fruit on nose, with underlying
leather and spice. Wonderfully mature and at its peak. Gloriously
complete and luscious on palate, which is soft and supple and has
huge breadth and depth of flavour and 'barely there' tannic
backbone. Remarkably long and complex.
Thomas Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
Cabernet Sauvignon - Margaret River - 2004
Greatstone Wines
Tynan's View Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Cabernet Sauvignon - Padthaway - 2006
This is awsome. The bouquet is bursting with blackcurrants, leafy
cedar, cigar, cinnamon and other spices and has extraordinary
intensity. This is perfectly mirrored by the palate which adds a touch
of licorice and chocolate. Silky texture, dry, well proportioned elegant
and with fine sweet tannins, which give it length and staying power.
Exquisite, and beautifully made.
Houghton
Houghton Frankland River Riesling 2006
Riesling - Western Australia & Regions - 2008-2006
To be best in class in a fantastic line up of brilliant wines from a great
vintage is no mean achievement. This is outstanding, classic Shiraz
with enormous potential, The massive, nostril filling concentration of
blueberry fruit and spices results from low yielding old vines. The
palate is huge, opulent and intense. It will last and, hard to believe,
get even better.
Langmeil Winery
Langmeil Orphan Bank Shiraz 2006
Shiraz - Barossa Valley - 2006
Deep purple crimson colour to rim. Quite closed initially, then spicy,
mineral, earth and black fruits and coconut. Sweetly fruity in the
mouth, noticeable tannins and quite spikey acidity, the potential here
is enormous. The palate is layered and textural, but tightly wound up
at this point. Give this time. It will be incredibly rewarding.
Watery pale lemon green, white gold gints, transluscent and polished.
Clear heady scents, grapefruit, lime, mandarin, lemon; a cornucopia
of coloured citrus fruits with hints white of flowers, oystershell, a faint
note of kero. The palate holds perfect tension, coursing along,
streamlined yet edgy, tightrope balance, superb delivery.
Breathtaking finish. Absolutely perfect.

Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz - South Australia & Regions - 2006-2002
Clear bright pale straw tinged with white gold glints. Lively perfumed
nose, crunchy apple, orchard and citrus blossom, hard white peach,
wax, wet stone. It is a caress in the mouth, full bright flavours, pink
grapefruit, lime, juicy and crisp, a hint of pithy bitterness, a sprinkle of
salt, a stoney streak all add to the amazing complexity of this wine
even in raw youth. It stays tense and tight, but bright and joyous all
the way through to an endless echoing finish. This wine shows the
reason that Australia has led the riesling revival. Beautiful.
Burnished medium gold, bronze flashes. Lifted aromas of lemon,
citrus marmalade and almond. Expressive in the mouth, deliciously
sweet with a balanced crisp acidity, long on fruit flavours in the finish.
Opaque garnet/purple colour to rim. Lovely aromas, pure Clare Valley
preciseness of crushed blackcurrant, black cherry, sweet red plum,
mulberry, cassis, mint, coal, cedar bouquet. Wonderfully precise also
in the mouth, lush cassis and framboise fruitiness, supple and ample
tannins give a surprisingly firm structure, smoky and sweet oak
nuances in perfect balance, driving along smoothly to a creamy
elongated finish. All in all, nothing less than a Gold award could
suffice for a wine of this class and breeding.

Deep dark inky core colour, crimson edge. Ripe sweet fruit on the
nose, cedar, mint, tobacco, pencil shavings and cassis, very classic
Coonawarra. Tension and grip on the palate, fairly uncompromising
now but perfectly balanced and structured for ageing. Lovely display
of concentrated fruits, firm tannins, smokey oak, good acid. The
finish is taut and very long.
McGuigan Wines
McGuigan Bin 9000 Sémillon 1999

Clear bright watery lemon straw. Zingy grapefruit aromas, lemon
blossom and preserved lemon. Crisp and very tight in the mouth,
linear, streamlined and very precise. The acids need to soften and
the fruit characters develop but this has enormous potential in this
very wonderful classic Hunter style. A very beautiful wine indeed.
Moppity Vineyards Reserve Shiraz 2006
Shiraz - Regions of New South Wales - 2007-2006
Darkest dense ruby and offering a bouquet which is laced with vanilla
and coffee, chocolate and desiccated coconut. Exemplary Shiraz,
faultless. Toasted hazelnuts and dark chocolate feature on the
sumptuous smooth palate which is exotic and more-ish, with depth
and length. It ticks all the right boxes.

Dark earthen crimson colour to rim. Hugely perfumed nose, red and

with whiffs of vanilla and toasty oak.. The palate is soft and inviting,
silky, intense and concentrated without any heaviness at all, although
there is plenty of structure and bite. The finish is seductive and
continues gracefully for a long time. This could age well, but is so
beautiful now.

This wine, of deep ruby colour, has real pedigree, power and

and more complex secondary aromas. There is a varied palette of
flavours, predominantly dry but smooth, with a firm velvety texture
and lightly structured. Superbly made, and already showing its class.

Shiraz - Barossa Valley - 2006
Pale straw lemon colour. Intense and beautifully aromatic on the
nose, juicy lime, lime leaf and grated lemon zest, grapefruit with the
faintest hint of kerosene. Exuberantly youthful on the palate, zesty,
very lively acidity swirls around the concentrated lime fruit core. A
waxy, toasty note just beginning to emerge mid palate, but otherwise
consider this a youngster with a long way to go.
Fabulous, sublime nose which delivers gamey complexity with
deliciously ripe blackcurrant fruit. Opulent, evolved, superb more-ish
flavours, exquisitely formed: perfection in a glass and surely one to
win accolades from Grenache fans in both Old and New World
Deep dark opaque colour to rim. Raspberry and loganberry fruit with
a note of menthol. Lush rich black cherry palate, supple in the
mouth, a smattering of herb and pepper spice, a fair bit of oaky tannin
and some heat on the finish, but the wine is in fantastic balance
nonetheless. Another superb offering from Barossa which will drink
really well in the next 3 - 5 years.

The nose is complex and terrific, but also intriguing with its multilayered quality, releasing oakiness, then vegetal and chocolatey
notes, and herbal fragrance. More discreet, composed elegant and
refined on the palate, which has delicate structure, balance and very
fine dry, complex lavours. A maverick, unquestionably a great wine.

Glorious, exemplary Shiraz which is the epitome of a fantastic

perfection: the nose has finely oaked cigar-box character with
pronouced evolved tertiary aromas. The palate is classy, racy and
polished, velvety with warm spicy nuances, harmonious and deep.
Impeccable.

If this wine sang, it would have the voice of Ella Fitzgerald, so brilliant

Dark intense crimson purple to rim. Black Forest Gateau in a glass!
Cherries, chocolate, blackberry compote, vanilla and cream with the
telltale Barossan hint of mint. An all Australian beauty, finely crafted
to maximise the delicious ripe sweet fruit, oak an enhancement giving
a sweet savory element, medium to full bodied, a rich round and well
endowed finish. Beautifully made in a wonderful vintage.
Clear bright watery greenish lemon colour. The nose offers green
apple, lemon sherbet and lemon zest scents. Crisp, almost tart
mouth entry with a luxurious predominance of lemon, a touch of
grapefruit and lemon grass flavours. Very tight now, this will evolve
slowly into one of the Hunter Classics.

Bright pale gold colour; a cocktail of primary aromas tempts the nose
with peaches, currants and gooseberries, creamy and rich in alcohol.
Excellent integration on the palate which is slightly buttery, sweet,
mouthfilling and rather exotic with enough freshness to give a long
finish. Big, very accomplished.
Clear garnet colour. The nose finds a complex bouquet which is
somewhat feral at first, and then reveals red currant fruit, a little tar
and spicy oak. On the palate it is smooth, suave, beautifully soft, with
mellow ripe flavours; it is long and has delicate balance and much
charm. Drinks well now but can age further.

Transluscent liquid, clear and bright in the glass, just a hint of youthful

rosepetal. Tightly coiled on the palate, pink grapefruit, juicy lime, and
oystershell. The mid palate develops delicious sweet edge which
carries through to the finish, counterbalancing the steely acidity.
Elegant and long on the finish. Would like to taste this again in 5 to
10 years time.

Medium crimson red, garnet edge. Smoky nose, wood fires,
undergrowth and cherries in syrop. Concentrated in the mouth, good
core of ripe sweet cherry fruit that marries well with the oak. A
concentrated firm style, good complexity and has room for some
medium term ageing.
Clear ruby colour with advanced, mature nose typical of this varietal

bouquet. Firm on the palate, with a tight narrow structure which is
somewhat austere but does not detract from the elegant display of
fruit and complexity of this dry, refined wine with good ageing
potential.
Dense inky crimson red colour to rim. Lifted pure shiraz aromas,
mulberry, blackberry and victoria plums, herbs, thyme, pepper and
rosemary, with a liquorice top note. Juicy in the mouth, robust and

lemongrass with sweet meadow hay. Lemon zest burst in the mouth,
then the Sauvignon takes up the running with crunchy apple, snow
pea and blackcurrant leaf. A mineral twist adds another layer of

Opaque dark ruby red with a small garnet edge. A tremendous nose

date cake. Intense, rich and full bodied, sweet ripe and

Saturated inky red purple colour, tiny garnet rim. Nose is reluctant,
slowly offering complex scents of leather, cherry, tar, raspberry,
coffee, dried herb, cassis, dried fig, pepper and spice. Beautifully
ripe in the mouth, a heady embracing texture grips tightly, through a

benchmark wine of the vintage and region and will cellar for a very

Very youthfuly and with the palest straw colour, this wine needs some
integration but is already showing good aromatic definition with zesty
citrus on the nose. The citrussy character continues on the palate
which is fresh but surprisingly sweet and with sherbetty acidity. Good
concentration and will be most enjoyable in just a few more months.
Dark crimson red to rim. Iris and violet scents give way to sweet red
and black bramble fruits, shot with cinnamon and white pepper.
Wonderful smooth mouth entry, tannins are ripe and tense, oak lends
sweet vanilla character and smokey tobacco hints. A very

Still retaining a dense dark garnet colour. The nose is complex, almost

the mouth the tannins are strong and formidable but ripe and
excellent and form the bones to display the wonderful weight of fruit

Katnook Estate Prodigy Shriaz 2005
Shiraz - Coonawarra - 2006 -2002
Dark cherry red with a garnet rim. Blackberry jam, peppery spicy oak
scents. The palate has lively acidity, very ripe fruits with lots of
smokey oak present. The finish is long and quite chewy.
Dark crimson red, opaque core. Sweet black cherry with santa rosa
plum, chocolate and menthol aromas. Plum pie and cherries in
chocolate on the palate, the oak ends a touch of spice, very easy and
silky, good mid palate and excellent ripe finish.
Dark earthen red to rim. Nose offers sweet nutty oak over masses of
ripe dark berried fruits, earthy notes, lead pencil, ground spices. Big
in the mouth, fleshy and muscular, the tannins are ripe and fine, oak is
sweet and generous. A very welcoming wine, easy to like now but
with a great deal of potential.
Wakefield / Taylors Wines
Wakefield/Taylors Jaraman Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Cabernet Sauvignon - South Australia - 2007-2004
Dark earthy crimson red colour. Enticing nose, complex aromas:
crushed blackcurrant, cherry pie, chocolate mint and eucalyet. There
is plenty of spice evident in the mouth, cedar, oak, with nutmeg and
mace surround voluptuous fleshy ripe cassis fruit. Tannins are very
fine grained and perfectly integrated. Very well put together, perfectly
proportioned, there is excellent medium term cellaring potential here .

Inky black red colour, dense to rim. The nose offers smoky aromas,
tar, vanilla, leather, dark chocolate over sweet black stone fruits.
Smooth, sleek texture with a very firm oak grip now, fruit weight is
generous, chocolately tannins, the oak tightens up the finish.
Fabulous potential.

Merlot - Coonawarra - 2005-2004
Wingara Wine Group
Far from being mature this wine has an intensely aromatic nose which
is grapey, melony, sweet and very up front; great concentration and
well defined character. A touch soapy on the palate, with tart acidity
cutting through intense fruity flavours. Attractive, well made and very
promising, needing a little time to integrate and achieve balance.

Wakefield/Taylors Riesling 2008
Riesling - Clare Valley - 2008
Wolf Blass Grey Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
Cabernet Sauvignon - Langhorne Creek - 2006/2004
Deep garnet colour. Well developed mature nose with intriguing
notes of lavender, eucalyptus, Mediterranean herbs and Christmas
cake. The palate is dense, almost thick, but soft and fresh, very New
World. The texture is smooth and silky with bitter-sweet and savoury
complex flavours. Intense and very long.

Wolf Blass
Katnook Estate Merlot 2005
Merlot - Coonawarra - 2005-2004
Deep dark crimson red. The nose offers earthy scents, forest
undergrowth, red earth, redcurrants and black stone fruits, with oaky
sweet vanilla and coconut. This follows in the mouth, ripe sweet
black fruit, a hint of spice and herbs, smooth soft tannins and a fine,
slightly herbal finish.
Pale shiny transluscent watery lemon with green flashes. Sweet
white nectarine, crunchy apple and a touch of meadow flowers.
Crunchy, sappy fruit texture, nice undertow of minerality.

Wolf Blass
Wolf Blass Gold Label Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2007
Chardonnay - Adelaide Hills - 2007-2006
Medium lemon straw colour. Good juicy fruit nose, lemon, mango,
vanilla custard and hazelnut. Full flavoured in the mouth, plenty of
body and ripe extract, good use of wood which adds to this rich style.
Creamy mid palate leads to a zesty tight finish. Excellent length, this
wine cannot fail to please.
Wolf Blass
Wolf Blass President Selection Chardonnay 2007
Chardonnay - South Australia - 2007
This wine has great personality, elegance and restraint. The colour is
pale golden and the nose has a wet wool and hay character, followed
by subtle oak, distinctive and complex. The palate, by contrast, is
very sweet, ripe and generous, with a touch of tangerine fruit. What it
still needs is a little more time to integrate and attain the right
balance.

Clear bright watery green straw colour. Intense yellow and green
citrus aromas, lime cordial with a touch of mineral saltiness. In the
mouth this is dry and crisp, intensely flavoured and tightly focussed.
The mineral element is an excellent backbone to the crisp acidity.
Lovely length, very fine indeed.
A lovely dark garnet colour for this well constructed wine with soft,
heady vinosity, earthy complexity and some dried orange peel.
Slighly austere on the nose but pleasantly contrasted by a sweet,
warm mouthfeel, and chocolatey, jammy flavours. Delicately
balanced and a readily appealing style.
Clear bright glossy straw lemon colour. Fine aromatic nose, white
and yellow stone fruits, a hint of lychee and honeysuckle. Lovely silky
texture in the mouth, smooth glycerol fatness without heaviness,
excellent concentration and a pure long fine finish. Fantastic
expression of this variety.

Inky purple black colour opaque to rim. Perfumed nose, a touch of
orange blossom/apricot, black cherry, blueberry, framboise, with
savoury spicy nuances, tar leather, chocolate, grilling meat, liquorice.
Wonderful concentration and grip in the mouth, chocolatey grainy
tannins provide the muscle for the juicy fleshy fruit weight. Big wine,
on the full bodied end of the scale but with amazing elegance and
grace. Carries its alcohol really well and the finish is superb.
Dense crimson purple to rim, youthful and vibrant. Sweet lifted
primary fruits on the nose, raspberry jam, cherry in syrup and sweet
spices. Lovely rich sweet/savoury palate, depth and concentration,
low key oak with a long long spicy finish. Sheer yumminess.
A dark, dense ruby colour for this fine wine which has well integrated
tobaccoey oak, dried mushroom and spicy mulberry fruit on the nose.
There is poise, much elegance and distinction and the palate is dry,
dense and firm, offering ample, mature flavours balanced by tangy
acidity. At its peak now.

Wyndham Estate Bin 505 Shiraz Rosé 2007
Rosé - Shiraz - Regions of Australia - 2008-2007
Brilliant, bright coral pink, such a cheerful, delightful colour. Cherries
and watermelon feature in this very attractive well made rosé with its
fragrant, youthful vinosity which is very forthcoming. Full and savoury
palate, very satisfying and mouthfilling, with dry red berry fruit and
zingy acidity. Very good all-round.
Yabby Lake International
Yabby Lake Red Claw Pinot Noir 2007
Pinot Noir - Mornington Peninsula - 2007-2005
Bright garnet red, glossy and polished. Lifted sweet summer fruit
nose, strawberries and red cherry. Delicious fruit weight in the
mouth, scented and juicy, precise oak finishing, equals a stunning
pinot, characterful and exemplary.
Yalumba
Yalumba 'The Octavius' Old Vine Barossa Shiraz 2004
Shiraz - Barossa Valley - 2004
Creamy sweet oak is subtly displayed on the nose, which is brooding,
elegant even aristocratic. The palate is rich, exciting and mature, with
spicy complexity and savoury fruit lifted by a lively vein of acidity.
Great balance, very up front enjoyable flavours, yet gentle and subtle
on the finish.

Yering Station Shiraz Viognier 2006
Shiraz - Yarra Valley - 2006-2003
The nose of this opaque ruby wine is refined and has ample, vibrant
fruit with a distinctive aromatic quality and slightly pungent. Big and
clear-cut flavours especially on the front and middle palate; rich and
ripe, seriously delicious and with engaging personality.
Zilzie Wines
Zilzie Viognier 2007
Viognier - Victoria & Regions - 2008-2006
Pale brlliant lemon yellow colour. Aromas are smoky, lychee, pear
and apricot, spiced citrus in syrup. Full and heady in the mouth, brisk
acidity and a lively zesty finish. A really lovely interpretation, full
without blowsy characters, very delicious.

AUSTRIA
Blaufränkisch - Burgenland - 2006
Lenz Moser Prestige Blaufränkisch 2006
Medium pale crimson with a pink edge. Soft sweet fraises on the
nose, delicate in the mouth, supple and elegant.
Silver (Best in Class)
Grüner Veltliner - Kamptal - 2006
Rabl Grüner Veltliner Kaferberg 2006
Watery pale colour, the nose has a touch of oatmeal, pear and lemon
citrus, minerals and a peppery spritz. Lovely rich weight mid palate,
crisp acidity keeps the palate from being fat, excellent concentration
and length.
Weingut Huber
Grüner Veltliner - Traisental - 2007
Huber Grüner Veltliner Taste The Difference 2007
Watery pale lemon green. Delicate floral note, ripe grainy pears
dripped with lemon juice. Deliciously fresh with just a hint of spritz
and pepper. Great all round wine, good on its own or with food and a
terrific introduction to the variety.
Weingut Huber
Riesling - Trockenbeerenauslese - Traisental - 2005
Huber Riesling Berg Trockenbeerenauslese 2005
Expansive complex nose on this golden hued wine. Honey,
marmalade, apricot botrytis notes. Syrupy and rich on the palate,
gorgeous honeyed fruit and spice set against a backdrop of balanced
acidity.

Pale golden straw colour with white gold hints. Very aromatic nose,
white flowers, peach stone, citrus pith, custard and nutmeg. Full
bodied fruity intensity in the mouth with oak underpinning. Although

Pale lemon green colour, bright and polished. A slight volatile lift on
the nose does not detract from the intense lindenflower and
honeysuckle perfume, lemon rind and citrus marmalade. The
mouthfeel is intensely sweet with high botrytis characters, fresh
spearing acidity cuts through the honeyed sweetness and balances
the wine, the finish is elongated and lovely.
Aromo Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Watery pale lemon, greenish tinges. Lovely pungency on the nose,
youthful pear, lychee, zesty citrus with bay and blackcurrant leaf.
Passionfruit notes in the mouth, crisp attack, good concentration of
flavours and minerality with a tight crisp finish.
This youthful, dense, dark purple wine promptly releases pungent
charry oak with intense fruitiness and rich primary aromas. A proof, as
if still needed, that Chilean Carmenere as a stand alone varietal can
be world-class with its powerful texture, generous fruit and well
structured framework. Enjoy or keep.
Dark purple red colour, deep and youthful. Squashy blueberry and
red plums on the nose, ripe and fleshy. The palate has great
structure, the tannins are tight now but lots of juicy fruit weight to
back some bottle ageing. Good weight with a lovely mineral finish,
long and fine.

Excellent citrus acidity keeps the palate lively and fresh, long textural
finish.
Dense colour, inky red to rim,viscous in the glass. Lush vibrant fruit
driven nose of black plums, with plenty of malty spicey oak aromas.

and black cherry aromas, cassis, with roasted spice, coffee and
cedar. Wonderful attack in the mouth, full on sweet juicy fruit weight,
extracted without fat, generous, supple tannins and a long

of Syrah in Chile.

Gorgeous golden colour. A thoroughly oriental fruit cocktail on the
nose - lychees and cumquats - and a hint of residual sweetness, but
there's enough zingy acidity to balance this, and to make the finish
quite glorious.

Dark red purple colour extends to rim. Ripe bramble fruits on the
nose, red cherry and blackcurrant. Fleshy texture in the mouth,
supple tannins, gentle spice complexity. Elegant and very moreish,
the finish is long and show excellent promise for medium term
cellaring.
Whilst still rather immature this wine is already showing its pedigree.
There is smoky oak laced with ripe plums and blackcurrants plus hints
of sage and mint on the nose. It is chewey, tight on entry but fleshy
and surprisingly smooth on the mid-palate with lovely texture. Its
promise will be delivered, just needs time.

Exciting varietal character, classy, with a touch of minerality, lime and
grapefruit. It has a brilliant pale greenish straw colour with golden
flecks. The first palate is sweet, followed by well defined crisp texture
and finishing with true delicacy. Cool climate elegance, impressive,
exemplary winemaking.
A dark deep ruby colour matched by fully developed, earthly bouquet
which has coffee, blackcurrants and a hint of chocolate. The oak is
subtle; equally impressive and expressive on the palate which again
finds chocolate and voluptuously ripe, sweet dark fruit.
Greenish gold with pungent 'catty' aromas and subtle green pepper
character on the nose. Zingy fresh and mouthwatering acidity are
very stimulating on the palate, with a sherbetty freshness and nicely
balanced flavour. Thoroughly enjoyable, very well made: a winner.

This is sublime, from beginning to end: its rich garnet a prelude to a

Carmenère/Cabernet Sauvignon - Regions of Chile - 2007-2006
Deep purplish ruby, quite forward and mature on the nose, which is
warm and attractive and suggests dried fruit, prunes and a touch of
Marmite. On the palate it is bitter-sweet, powerful and generous;
there is a tenuous tannic vein and a delicious bitter chocolate finish.
Freshly aromatic and fragrant, yet delicate and almost understated for
the varietal; pale straw colour and very appealing notes of nettles and
grapefruit with crunchy green orchard fruit. Sweet on palate with
ample fresh acidity and minerality. Very stylish, good example of
Sauvignon, already very enjoyable.
Deep inky purple to rim. Nose is slow to open, smoky oak, crushed
blackcurrants and dark fruit compote. In the mouth there is plenty of
ripe extract, mineral tinged sweet fruit, excellent depth and definition
with a firm tannic finish. This will be superb, cellaring potential up to
10 years or more.

with stone fruit flavours and vibrant lime zest on its long, dry finish.
Deep inky red crimson, dark to rim. Scented ripe nose, sandalwood,
mint, a shot of cassis, poached spiced plums and vanilla. Focussed in
the mouth, muscular, smooth and polished. Tannins are ripe and
grainy, fruit/acid balance is wonderful. All in all a very elegant and

Distinctive, complex bouquet in which eucalyptus is prominent along
with a smoky, gamey earthy quality and forthcoming vinous aromas.
This dark ruby wine has considerable structure and a long bittersweet finish. Seriously good for drinking now or to age.
www.iwsc.net
Perfectly bright pale lemon-green straw. The aromas are clean and
very pronouced and seem to leap out of the glass with a medley of
nettles, peppers and asparagus. In the mouth it's juicy, crisp and
refreshing with slightly tart acidity offset by ripe, delicately sweet fruit.
It is close to achieving perfect balance and gaining complexity.

good development with smooth luscious flavours, multilayered, really

Champagne - Special Edition - Vintage 1981 - Blends
This wonderful wine glows from the inside out, structured and lively,

Champagne Duval Leroy Femme de Champagne 1996
Champagne - Prestige Cuvée - 1996 - Blends
Charles Heidsieck Brut Millesimé 1989
Champagne - Special Edition - Vintage 1989 - All Blends
Lemon gold colour, bright and shiny. Persistent fine streaming bead.
Complex nose, melon, yellow citrus, white mushroom, grilled brioche,
nut and minerals. These flavours course vigourously through the
mouth, the palate is tight, tense and grippy. A superbly structured
wine, fantastic intensity and massive length. World class and
fabulous.
Burnished golden, glints of copper and silver. An expressive nose,
offering rich maturity and evolvement. The effervesence in the mouth
is a caress of rich savoury characters, mushroom, rye toast, umami,
dried citrus peel, with flashes of bright fresh fruit characters.
Complex, and still wonderfully evolving. A classic.

Piper-Heidsieck Brut Millesimé 2000
Champagne - Vintage - Blends - 2000
Château Capion 2005
Coteaux du Languedoc AC - 2007-2003
Dense inky colour. The nose is equally dense, with earthy, tarry,
smoky aromas overlaying the black and red fruit compote. The
palate opens up with smooth excellence, framboise and cassis
centred with spice and smokey complexity, sinewy tannins lending
weight, but all coursing along the palate to an elongated finish. A
very lovely wine.
Chateau Fortia
Château Fortia Reserve 2006
Chateauneuf du Pape AC - 2006
Ancient Chateauneuf estate produces a mouthfilling classic red.
Plummy red and black fruit on the nose is layered upon cardamom,

Satrapezo Saperavi 2004
Saperavi - Georgia - 2004 - 2003
Inky deep opaque colour, extends to rim with no sign of age. The
nose is equally dense, redolent of smoke, spice, leather, tightly
packed fruit weight, firmly bound with tight but ripe tannins. A big
wine, firm and strong, massive concentration carried with style and
muscular grace.

Marani Saperavi 2006
Saperavi - Georgia - 2006
Opaque red black colour to rim. Huge nose of concentrated black
forest and tree fruits, warm earth and peppery spice, with a
complexing feral whiff. Sweet fruit in the mouth, shot with spice and
supportive big tannins, again with a superb wild note drawing the
finish out. Lovely and very interesting.

Saperavi/Cabernet Sauvignon - Georgia - 2006
Dark blue purple with a crimson rim. Raspberry, cassis and tomato
cocktail aromas, strong oak influence giving a coconut note but the
palate shows enough fruit to handle it. Tannins are ripe and not at all
aggressive. The wine is very young but will integrate over time.

Divino Nordheim
Tesco Finest Steillage Riesling 2006
QbA - Riesling - Mosel-Saar-Ruwer - 2006
Pale clear and bright. The nose lifts off with pink grapefruit, strong
mineral notes, salty pretzel characters and a hint of lime/kerosine.
The palate is lovely, very pure and skittish, teasing you to run with it,
off dry with a suprising waxy mid palate kick, then a long, fine limpid
finish.

2006 Escherndorfer Lump Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese
QmP - Riesling - Trockenbeerenauslese - Franken - 2006
Polished light bright straw yellow. The nose is quite shy initially,
sweet blossom and fruit salad, then touches of smoke and spice,
resin and honeycomb. The palate grips with fantastic almost
shocking acidity, delivering layer upon layer of incredible honeyed
fruit, spice, salty minerality. The depth and grace are astonishing.
This wine is a true thoroughbred and worth of an exalted crown.

Limpid pale gold with light amber flashes. Very complex nose
combining angelica, citrus peel, lime leaf, alpine honey, hot steel and
salt pretzel. The palate follows the nose, complex, individual and
excellent. Honeyed fruits combine with spice, minerals, nut and
notes on incense. Fabulously rich, mouthfilling, with the keen acid
structure keeping the whole palate on edge. Fantastic long finish.

cloying. Very delicious.

Gold
Golden limpid colour, green bronze glints. Good level of botrytis
evident on the nose, exceptional lifted stone fruit aromas, spiced
cooked peach and pineapple with quince and honey. Bright fresh
lively mouthfeel, zippy grapefruit acidity, but the wine has exceptional
balance and elegance. Just a little delicate on the finish, but will
evolve with time.

Bright, shiny pale gold in colour. Concentrated fruity aromas, orchard
and white stone, lovely rich concentration in the mouth, balanced and
a great finish.
Delightful clear, intense yellow with gold and green highlights. The
nose offers a cornucopia of rich scents, oystershell, dried and fresh
flowers, marmalade, peach and smoke. Layers of red and yellow
citrus flavours in the mouth, zingy acidity with honeycomb sweetness
shot with spice and minerals. Superb mouthwatering finish.
www.iwsc.net
Pale limpid yellow, green glints. A tight complex nose, meadow
scents, apple strudel and earthy minerality. Hugely luscious, intense
and sweet in the mouth, with savoury notes and sweet spice. Mineral
and honey core with a persistent finish. A very interesting and
arresting wine.

Watery pale. The nose starts light, a whiff of pineapple then with
more chalky, apple aromas. The palate is gorgeous, tight pure and
classy, lively and nervy just as it should be. Minerality drives this
wine, high toned in the mouth. Long and fine on the finish. Drink

Clean fresh pale yellow with amber hints, a very good example of
Ortega trocken. Rich, nicely balalnced with an interesting aftertaste.
Shiny pale straw gold colour in the glass. Oyster shell salty aromas
initially, wanders into sweet meadow grasses, then hard peach and
oily mineral notes. Racy in the mouth, has some austere characters,
but very intense concentration, and verve. Will be a very complex
and rewarding wine with some bottle age.

Beautiful limpid pale lemon colour. The nose is pure pink grapefuit
and pomelo skin with touches of fennel, caramelised sugar syrup and
lemon tea. An edge palate follows, the acidity plays with the
sweetness and teases out the superb length. Stunning Scheurebe
typicity, fantastic wine.
Bright glossy medium red colour. Elegant nose, smells of autumn,
raspberry and cherry fruits, woodsmoke and undergrowth. Beautiful
pinot character in the mouth, sexy, silky, combined with weight and
power. The fruit is rich and forthcoming and the length is very
impressive. An excellent testimony to the improving quality of Pinot
Noir that Germany is now producing.

Syrah - Central Greece TO - 2006
Domaine Evharis Merlot 2005
Merlot - TO of Attica - 2005
Intense ruby colour with purple rim. Nose distinctive and quite
seductive, ripe, and gloriously fruity, with a whiff of oak. A very
international Syrah style, packed with ripe fruit and rich, long lasting
flavours. It should be aged further but already enjoyable at present.
Purple ruby colour. Warm forthcoming bouquet with a hint of vanilla
and spicy undertones. Very up front fruit flavour, sweet and sour
style; Medium weight and smooth texture with a pleasing touch of
bitterness on finish and good length.
A & G Papaioannou Vineyards
Microclima-Ktima Papaioannou 2003
Blended Red Wine - Nemea OPAP - 2005-2003
Dark ruby. Spicy, assertive bouquet with a considerable measure of
minty oak and tertiary aromas, well developed. Very powerful
flavours quite ‘macho’ in style, with a firm tannic backbone
supporting a wealth of ripe plummy fruit. Considerable maturity and
impressive length with a long, tangy finish. Perfect to drink now or
keep.

Light golden colour. Seaweed and herbaceous overtones. The palate
showed steely acidity and flavours of grapefruit and golden apples.
Deep purple colour. Spicy, peppery and lead pencil – a very assertive
bouquet with good varietal character. This leads to a smooth, round
and soft palate, delivering ripe fruit, a medium full body with
noticeable maturity and very satisfying. Almost ready to drink, will
benefit from a little longer in bottle.

Domaine Evharis
Domaine Evharis Red 2005
Blended Red Wine - Syrah Dominated - Gerania TO - 2005
Black crimson colour, looks remarkably youthful, yet the nose shows
some maturity. The Syrah character is unmistakeable and expressed
through its bitter chocolate nose, a touch of burnt rubber and
enhanced by a dollop of spicy oak. The flavour is intense, rich,
concentrated and fleshy: a blockbuster, needing time to soften and
gain complexity.

Casa Pedro Domecq Château Domecq Tinto 2005
Nebbiolo Blends - Calafia Valley - 2006-2005
The Nebbiolo varietal character is clearly in evidence in this
impressive, dark ruby wine. There is raspberry fruit and rose petals
mingling with fruit compote and tobaccoey oak. Dry on palate and a
little austere: it is built to last with a firm, assertive structure, dry
tannins and full body. Good now but with further scope.
Casa Grande Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Cabernet Sauvignon - Parras Valley - 2006-2005
Bronze
Fully ripe vinosity emerges from this deep garnet Cabernet which has
good maturity in its bouquet, with alluring hints of ripe plum, mint and
licorice. The texture is velvety and mouth-coating supported by
supple tannins. Medium bodied, dry and with long, elegant finish.
Casa Madero SA
Casa Madero Chenin Blanc 2007
Chenin Blanc - Parras Valley - 2007
This is amazing: classic varietal character which is world-class. The
colour is palest gold, the bouquet has apples, hay and citrus and is
nostril-filling rich. This follows beautifully on the palate with tangy
citrus acidity and gentle honey. Mouthwateringly delicious and
fabulous length.
Casa Madero SA
Casa Madero Semillon 2007
Sémillon - Parras Valley - 2007
Pale gold in colour with a delicate but forthcoming, warm, attractive

Pinot Noir - Central Otago - 2007
Simon Waghorn
Sauvignon Blanc - Marlborough - 2008
Medium garnet crimson red, deep core. Wonderfully sexy nose,
framboise, vanilla oak notes, cherry, game pie, a grinding of spice and
a sprinkle of herbs. Gorgeous in the mouth, very smooth, great
integration of fruit, acid and oak. Like silk it appears to have a fragile
delicacy, again like silk there is surprising strength under the illusion.
Beautiful extended finish. Very classy indeed.
Pale watery lemon straw colour. Expressive lifted nose with lemon
sherbet, crushed blackcurrant leaf, snow peas, the aromas of summer
turning to autumn. Edgy elgance in the mouth: smokey minerality,
clear, pure streamlined focus, like following a shark underwater, it
stays ahead of you, the tang of salt keeps you going; you wont catch
up but you keep striving after it.
Saint Clair Pioneer Block 6 Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Dark crimson colour, deep core. Lifted red cherry fruit, pure and
bright, hints of herb, and sweet scented spice with a smokey savory
core. The whole lifts away in the mouth; elegant, smooth drive, low
key oak, lovely acid balance, lovely complexity. Wonderful intensity.
Central goes from strength to strength.

Koura Bay Wines Ltd
Pinot Noir - Awatere Valley - 2005
Bright shiny crimson colour. Nose is smokey, offering game scents,
truffle, rich dark berry summer fruits, savory and sweet all at once.
Wonderful complex development in the mouth, the gamey savory
notes compliment perfectly the rich dark fruit and are enhanced by
the smokiness of the oak and bright fresh acidity. Very complete,
totally enjoyable. Showing both development and potential.

Watery pale clear colour, greenish tinges. Lifted intense pungent
nose, could only be Marlborough! Blackcurrant leaf, pink
gooseberry, passionfruit and yellow citrus aromas leap from the glass.
The palate is a lipsmacking experience, very pure, driven and
polished, powerful intensity of flavours with steely acidity. A mineral
backbone adds a chalky, slightly salty nuance to the very persistent
finish. This wine has elegance and a sense of place. Superb.
Bright greenish gold colour and a worthy gold medal winner. Here is
a fabulous wine combining the best of Classic and New World
Riesling character. Sweet orange blossom and ample aromas in the
citrus spectrum, with a firm whiff of petrol. This carries through to the
palate which is racy, off-dry and with firm acidity to balance the very
pure, ripe fruit and sweetness, to absolute perfection.
Tohu Rore Pinot Noir 2006
Saint Clair Pioneer Block 12 Gewurztraminer 2007
Saint Clair Family Estate
Gewürztraminer - Marlborough - 2007
Deep straw yellow colour. Parma violets, barleysugar and turkish
delight, exotic and sensuous aromas, ginger cake and fennel seed.
Beautiful texture in the mouth satiny smooth, sweet fruit, heady

perfect step. Only Gewurztraminer can pack so much into a glass,
only wonderful sympathetic winemaking can coax such elegance out
of it.
Tohu Wines

Watery pale colour, green flashes. New mown grassy pungency on
the nose, crunchy sappy leafy characters with notes of cucumber,
passionfruit and nettle. Vibrant citrussy acidity drives the palate,
masses of fruit character, stoney mineral notes with a breathtaking
long finish. Very classy, very Marlbough, very, very, good.
Deep clear cherry crimson red colour to rim. Primary youthful nose,
violet, cherry and red berry fruit, smokey oak, vanilla. Quite full in the
mouth, firm oaky tannins, masses of ripe sweet delicate red fruit
characters lead to a savory finish. Smooth and silky, will be wonderful
when the oak settles.

A very bright pale straw colour and a nose which has everything a

Bottle Fermented Sparkling Wine - Classic Blend - Hawkes Bay - NV
The nose is quite delicious and well developed, with some warm,
yeasty breadcrust and biscuit, lively rich mousse which subsides
quickly. Up-front, very freshy apply flavours, which are ample, round
and mouthfilling, not too dry. Good all round, enjoyable if a little onedimensional.

the nose, rose petal, lychee, lavendar and lindenflower, spiced up
with citrus pith, stem ginger in syrup. In the mouth the fruit is
lusciously ripe, spiked with ginger and lemongrass. The tingling acid

more years yet.
Mount Riley Pinot Gris 2008
Mount Riley Wines Ltd

Watery pale straw lemon colour. Hint of glace fruits on the nose, also
grainy pear, whie mushroom and jasmine. The palate is off dry, lovely
acidity balancing the sweetness and keeping an edge. Medium to full
bodied without heavy fat, great finish. This wine has wonderful
potential. This is a style that needs very careful winemaking to
achieve such tightrope balance. Really well done.
Pale straw tinged with green, with exuberant and persistent creamy
mousse. Very clean on the nose with real Chardonnay traits and
attractive toast and breadcrust aromas. There is good maturity and
refinement on the palate with well integrated ripe flavour and some
complexity. Commercial, but a cracking example and really well made.

Waipara Hills
Pinot Gris - Waipara - 2007
Dark garnet crimson colour. Perfumed floral notes, cherry and
strawberry fruit, woodsmoke and spice. The palate has ripe fruit, taut
acidity and nicely integrated oak with some mineral notes. Lovely
wine.
Pale watery yellow. A youthful fresh pinot gris nose, pear and appely
fruit, lovely texture in the mouth, sweet ripe characters, nice acidity
and excellent length. Good style, very pleasurable.
Pale straw lemon colour. Warm ripe nose, orchard fruit, asian pear
and quince aromas, white pepper hints. Generous texture without
fatness in the mouth, medium weight good acid balance and really
nice spicy finish.

Spy Valley Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Sauvignon Blanc - Waihopai Valley - 2008
Clear watery pale lemon straw colour. Expressive lifted nose, ogen
melon, grapefruit, gooseberry. Deliciously crisp and refreshing
initially, then a creamy mid palate with sweet pineapple chunks on the
finish. An extremely well made and interesting wine.
The Hay Paddock Syrah 2006
Vynfields
Riesling - Martinborough - 2007
Whilst this needs more development, it is already showing a great
and distinctive minerally character, with notes of kerosene and
tropical fruit on the nose, along with grapefruit and bergamot.
Beautifully balanced on palate, satin-smooth, dry and serious, with a
touch of saltiness. Will benefit from some ageing.
Waimea Estates
Pinot Noir - Nelson - 2007
Dark cherry red with a garnet rim. Blackberry jam, peppery spicey
oak scents. The palate has lively acidity, very ripe fruits with lots of
smokey oak present. The finish is long and quite chewy.
Ruby red core with a medium pink edge. Soft framboise aromas,
with a smoky oak overlay. Hints of spice and damp forest floor. The
oak is a bit obvious now but the weight of fruit is very impressive and
should display beautifully when the barrel flavours settle down. Good
finish, the acid is attractive and holds the balance well.
Vidal Wines
Syrah - Hawke's Bay - 2007-2005
Dense inky red purple colour to rim. Tar, earth and brambly fruits,
peppery spice, plum and nutmeg aromas. Firm and muscular in the
mouth, high extract, plenty of fruit with grippy tannins, very good
balance for this style.
Waipara Hills
Riesling - Waipara - 2007
From the brightest green straw to the clean long finish this wine is a
fine example of Germanic style Riesling. Unashamedly aromatic, with
gunflint minerality and citrus, pungent and intense. The texture is
almost unctuous, with residual sugar noticeable on front palate, but
becoming delicately dry as it lingers in the mouth. Fine and to last.

Spinyback Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Waimea Estates
Sauvignon Blanc - Nelson - 2008
Bright greenish straw; pungent, catty Sauvignon a little sweaty and
nostril-filling, with noticeable acidity. Equally big flavour impact, with
much concentration in the mouth, giving weight and roundness to the
palate. Very forthcoming, seductive and with more delicate acidity on
the palate, which is not overly dry.

West Brook Blue Ridge Pinot Noir 2007
West Brook Winery
Pinot Noir - Wairau Valley - 2007
Medium dark red crimson colour, dense core. An autumn nose, logan
berry and black raspberry, mingles with vanilla, smokey oak, with a
hint of truffle. Alluring in the mouth, quite dense but retains freshness
and elegance, a touch of chocolate, spiced red fruits with firm oaky
nuances shot with excellent acid structure. There is plenty more to
come from this wine, A superb example.
West Brook Ivicevich Estate Range Chardonnay 2004
West Brook Winery
Chardonnay - Waimauku - 2004
Medium depth, bright straw yellow. Toasty nose, malty, citrus, apple
strudel, and minerals on the nose. The palate is rich enough to carry
and wear the oak very well, with ripe peachy fruit over toasted
brioche and hazlenut. A long warm finish. There is plenty of room for
further development, very well made in this style.

Chenin Blanc 2007
Chenin Blanc - Coastal Region - 2007
Pale yellow straw colour, limpid and leggy. Nose offers soft, floury
apples, nectarine, vanilla and nutty oak. Off dry in style, juicy flavours,
with an elegant creamy lift in the mid palate, mouthfilling and intense,
excellent drive on the finish. The oak is very complimentary and in very
good balance. This shows just how wonderful Chenin Blanc can be.
Beyerskloof
Tesco Finest* Beyers Truter Pinotage 2006
Pinotage - Western Cape - 2006
Deep core with light purple edge. Compelling nose with dark, ripe
berry fruit where blackberries and cherries play major role while some
strawberry is in there too. Intense and full bodied in the mouth with
layers of flavour replicating the nose. Packed with full, ripe, sweet
fruit. Refined and well balanced with subtle oak and supple tannins.
Hints of spice in long, fruit filled finish. Good now with food but will
well reward a few years to reach it’s full potential
Boplaas Family Vineyards
Hartenberg
Boschendal Reserve Collection Shiraz 2004
Shiraz - Coastal Region - 2004
Hartenberg Merlot 2005
Merlot - Stellenbosch - 2005
Deep inky crimson colour, small pink edge. Spicy nose, dried herbs,
smoked meat, framboise, dark berried autumn fruits, alluring and
exciting. Very delicious in the mouth, smooth, seamless and intense.
Wonderful structure and balance and an amazingly long satisfying
finish. A fantastic statment of the vintage, this is serious quality; a
very grown up wine indeed.
Opaque with bright purple rim. The nose is dominated by ripe plum
and cherry with mint chocolate in a reserve role. Touch of vanilla and
oaky spice. Great, full fruited entry into the mouth. Silky yet lively flow
across the palate giving off fruit flavours all the way while
underscored by chocolate and minty notes. Ripe, supple tannins.
Wonderful harmony and everlasting finish. Very accessible now yet
with six or so more years of development.
Delheim Wines
Delheim Chardonnay Sur Lie 2007
Chardonnay - Stellenbosch and Wards - 2007
Pale lemon yellow. Magnificent nose simply packed with lime, lees,
toast, white peach and tangerine. Just a hint of sweet, spicy oak in
the background. Super concentrated mouth with all the fruit in full
array and joined by some dairy notes including butterscotch and then
some zesty lemon. Fresh in every respect and packed with potential
to develop with great majesty over four to six years. Great elegance
and balance. Yet very drinkable now.
Haskell Vineyards
Dombeya Boulder Road Shiraz 2006
Shiraz - Stellenbosch and Wards - 2006
Deep red inky colour to rim. A very evocative and exotic nose,
framboise, linden flower, cherries in kirsch, cassis and spiced
oranges. The palate reveals more spicy characters, olive, cedar,
sandalwood and cinnamon. The mouthfeel is very smooth yet
powerful, tenacious grippy tannins do not hinder the elegant coursing
of ultra ripe fruit across the tongue. The balance is a triangle of
integrated perfection. The finish is a hedonistic delight. Superb.
Distell
Nederburg Edelkeur 2005
Botrytis Affected Wine - Chenin Blanc - Paarl - 2006-2005
Bright bronze. Alluring nose with apricot, nectarine, peach, hints of
lemon, orange and ripe tropical fruits where mango and pineapple
play a major role. Beautifully balanced mouth with sweetness, alcohol
and acidity in perfect harmony. Super complexity yet has many years
to develop a tremendous amount more. Superb wine.
Boplaas Tawny Port NV
Worldwide Fortified Wine - South Africa - Red - Wood Aged - NV
Burnished, warm, amber bronze colour. Glinting and limpid. Lovely
nose, redolent with raisin, toffee, nut, teacake and wood aged
characters. The mouth entry is warm, with a lively spirity edge.
Indulgent and delicious, sweet dried fruits, caramel chocolate and
walnut. A complex and confident wine, superbly delivered.

Kanonkop Wine Estate
Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2003
Blended Red Wine - Cabernet Sauvignon Dominated - Stellenbosch 2003
Deep purple core with bright rim. Nose is packed with ripe dark
cherries, plum and with strong presence of chocolate and coffee.
Great floral sweep in the background where violets and dark rose
feature. Rich spice is evident every where. Although the mouth is jam
packed with sweet fruit it is incredibly elegant and beautifully poised.
Soft, flavour filled flow across the palate where ripe dark berries are
well integrated with spice and fine oak. Supple tannins. Long,
sustained finish indicates lots of life still to come. Accessible now but
will well reward four to six years more in the bottle.

Deep core. Youthful, purple rim. Rich, forward nose is packed with
ripe plum, dark cherry with violets and tea leaf. Great oak support yet
keeps quietly in reserve. Super silky entry with vibrant bounce on the
palate giving flavours like the nose suggested but in greater
concentration. Full bodied yet great structure and balance.
Beautifully complete mouth with fine acidity and smooth tannins.
Long, persistent finish. Approachable now but will be magnificent
given eight to ten years more in the bottle

Simonsig Estate
Simonsig Estate Merindol Syrah 2004
Shiraz - Stellenbosch and Wards - 2004-2003
Dark inky core colour, glossy and deep with a small garnet rim.
Aromas reflect herbal, fynbois characters, intwined with sweet rich
blackcurrant and red bramble fruits, prune and plum, scented with
bergamot tea and roasting spices. This is wonderful in the mouth,
balanced and tense, powerful and elegant. Beautiful fruit expression
supported by nuances of savory and sweet characters and the elusive
umami element. The finish is very long and stamps its foot
authoritively.
Bon Courage
Bon Courage Inkará Shiraz 2006
Shiraz - Robertson - 2006-2003
Inky deep red purple to rim. Very primary aromas on the nose, sweet
red plum and cherry, woodsmoke and sweet spice. The palate opens
slowly, initially dominated by lovely ripe fruit then evolves with
mineral, tannin, savory elements which all give hints at the layered
complexity to come. This is a big wine, beautifully crafted, which
oozes class. The balance is superb and the finish courses in the
mouth for an age.
Spier Wines
Saronsberg Cellar
Saronsberg Full Circle 2005
Shiraz - Coastal Region - 2005
Dense opaque inky red to rim. Lifted aromas, violet, cherry,
loganberry, woodsmoke and mocha. Muscular and firm in the
mouth, sweet ripe fruits supported by tight oaky tannins. The balance
is excellent, the finish will open up with a bit more bottle age.

Simonsig Estate Frans Malan 2005
Blended Red Wine - Pinotage Dominated - Stellenbosch - 2006-2005

Cabernet Sauvignon - Stellenbosch - 2005
Opaque with bright purple, tight, grainy rim. Still in the full bloom of
youth with very expressive nose simply bursting with red and dark
berry aromas and lovely floral backing. Super deep palate loaded with
ripe berry flavours along with vanilla and sweet spice. Firm but
supple, ripe tannin. Great texture and super smooth flow. Elegant
and beautifully balanced. Flavours deepening all the while in the
glass. Gorgeous wine that will well reward another eight to ten years
in the bottle
Fairview
The Beacon Shiraz 2005
Shiraz - Paarl - 2006-2002
Deep purple core with bright rim. Nose is packed with ripe plum,
pepper, spice and smoke. Attractive floral wave brings up the rear.
Gorgeous, sweet oak backing. Great entry with almost explosive force
of ripe plumy fruit followed by everything the nose promised. Ripe
and sweet in the mouth with lovely pruny note. Beginning to develop
great complexity and another four or five years in the bottle will be
very rewarding. The fruit tends to mask the tannins but they will
ensure great development
Uva Mira Vineyards
Inky black purple colour, dense to rim. Brooding deep dark nose,
savory, earthy and masculine. Opens to reveal scented floral notes
and almost jammy fruit sweetness. In the mouth this is glorious.
Velvety and sensuous, masses of dark fruit complexity, firm structured
tannins which grip with muscular strength. Long and drawn out on
the finish. A real tease of a wine, leaves you wanting more.
Uva Mira Cellar Selection Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Merlot Blends - Stellenbosch - 2005
Opaque with amazingly youthful, bright purple rim. Very ripe and
enticing nose filled with cherries and ripe plum. Lots of spice and rich
chocolate follows. Big and impressive in the mouth with layers of
berry fruit flavours mixing with the chocolate and rich spice supported
by well managed oak and backed by a floral wave. Silky texture and
dense, ripe tannins. Sweet fruited mouth ends in attractive, dry finish.
Great now but has potential to develop into stupendous wine.

Graham Beck Wines
Graham Beck The Ridge Syrah 2003
Shiraz - Robertson - 2006-2003
Deep core colour with a medium garnet rim. Fabulous nose, huge
aromas of grilled meat, sweet asian spices, prune, cherry cake,
liquorice, flowers, olive and mocha, showing wonderful secondary
age characters. This is absolutely everything you could want in a
glass. All the delicious spice and white pepper characters of top
quality syrah, masses of ripe generous fruits, lovely acid profile and
tannin backbone, excellent oak integration and wonderful balance.
And with all that, it still manages to go that extra mile. Fantastic.

Bright, pale gold. Nose is packed with intense citrus characters
including orange, lemon and naartjie. Hints of nuts and a wave of
floral note in the background. Rich and full in the mouth with all the
citrus mingling in with walnuts, butterscotch and some tropical notes.
Good balance and fine acidity. Long finish. Will develop well while
being very drinkable now.
Deep dark purple red colour, extends to rim. Good rich aromas of
dark berried fruits, a smokey tarry whiff and a touch of peppery spice.
Well made, ripe tannins and judicious oak support the fruit weight,
with a fine long finish.
Bright medium straw colour, glinting and attractive. Nose reflects
warm climate chardonnay, with yellow plum, mango and sweet melon
aromas. The oak lends a rich nutty butterscotch element. Full and
expansive on the palate but well balanced with excellent acid
structure and fine tuned oak handling. The result is a fresh delicious
mouthful, with nutty oak complexity on the finish.

Opaque with fading, ruby rim. Ripe red berries dominate the nose to
start then wave after wave of aromatics appear including more berry
fruit, violets, hint of coffee and lots of sweet spice. Pencils shavings
appear with time along with strong black berry notes. Beautifully
textured and satin smooth flow through the mouth. Ripe, supple yet
plentiful tannins. Great complexity. Tannins, alcohol and long,
sustained finish all indicate lots of potential development
Backsberg Estate Cellars

Opaque with wide purple rim. Very attractive nose packed with ripe

generous in powerful mouth with lively tannins giving all the fruit
flavours a serious lift. Ample structure yet good balance. Big burst of
berry fruit flavour right at the end. Loads of potential needing half
dozen to eight years to sort out.

orange rind in the line up and some limey notes. Generous lees
character helps the silky mouthfeel. Very attractive drink now yet will
still develop well over next three to five years.
Leopard's Leap Pinotage Shiraz 2006
Pinotage Blends - Western Cape - 2008-2006
Very dark core with wide, bright purple rim. Nose beckons with super
ripe mulberries, plums, cherry and lots of vanilla and cinnamon. All
repeat in big, fruit filled mouth. Surprisingly elegant for it’s youth yet
has a great vitality and good balance. Fruit flavours are give lots of
complexity by the spice and clean oak. Well defined finish.
Approachable now yet has loads of potential to develop.

Hartenberg
Hartenberg The Stork Shiraz 2005
Shiraz - Stellenbosch - 2005
Dense inky red with a pink edge. The nose is quite arresting, a ripe
offering of logan berry, raspberry and plum over a strong oak aroma,
but with a feral wink in its nostril. The palate is equally intriguing,
Lovely ripe black and red bramble fruits at the core with a flash of
spiced chutney, a grating of lead pencil, smouldering charcoal, hung
game, all carried along on the very sleek delivery ending with a very
substantial satisfactory finish. This is quite brilliant.
Lovely dark robe, crimson amber in colour. The nose offers dried cherry
and goji berries, sultana earl grey tea and glace citrus. Excellent
balance of alcohol in the mouth, carries the fruit flavours to perfection,
the finish is very long, a wee bit decadent, but perfectly sociable.
Kaapzicht Estate
Kaapzicht Merlot 2003
Merlot - Stellenbosch - 2004-2003
Deep, dark core with fading rim. Nose is ablaze with ripe plum, mulberry
and warm spice. Floral backing has just a light spiral of attractive wood
smoke. Impressive array of berry fruits in the mouth with immediate
follow of chocolate and lots of spice. Smoothly textured with sweet,
almost juicy tannins. Very drinkable now and over next few years.

Cabernet Sauvignon - Stellenbosch - 2006
Very dark core with purple rim. Colour and nose give impression of
much younger wine. Nose delivers gorgeous array of ripe berry
aromas along with hints of leather and liquorice. Hint of elegant “old”
style wine. Fairly conservative with fine tannins and good balance.
Spice and tobacco with little smoky note in long, gentle finish. Very
satisfying now and over next half dozen years
Mid yellow straw colour, with some clingy viscosity in the glass. ,Very
intense nose orchard blossom, peach, pear, apple and citrus fruits,
vanilla biscuits, grilled nuts and a whiff of smoked bacon. This
follows on the palate, full bodied, packed with fruit, taut citrus acidity,
a streak of minerality at the core the oak softening and lending a
creaminess to the finish. Superb texture, elemental and edgy. Very
poised and beautifully structured. Yum.
Deep, purple core. Wide rim. Big, rich, ripe, berry fruit nose with
hints of vanilla and clean oak in the background. Equally full in the
mouth with far more flavour than the nose would have led you to
believe. Red and dark cherries with strawberry and plum all
supported by fine flavoured oak. Great balance and agile across the
tongue. Silky tannins even at this youthful age. Needs a few years to
show it’s full potential. Going to develop with majesty
Kanonkop Wine Estate
Kanonkop Cabernet Sauvignon 2003
Cabernet Sauvignon - Stellenbosch - 2003
Medium deep core with wide, fading edge. Ripe strawberry, sweet
tobacco and vanilla mingle on fairly powerful nose. Full, well rounded
mouth with red cherry adding to what the nose suggested. Easy entry
onto the palate then silky glide across. Fine, well mannered, ripe
tannins. Well managed oak gives comfortable support. Elegant and
well balanced. Very acceptable now yet still has lots of life to develop
Klein Constantia Estate
Klein Constantia Marlbrook 2006
Blended Red Wine - Cabernet Sauvignon Dominated - Constantia 2006-2005
Opaque with grainy blue/purple rim. At this stage the nose is fairly
austere and takes time to develop in the glass. Cabernet fruit is
dominant with hint of violets and slight cedary character. Fairly firm in
the mouth some vibrant tannins. Flavours begin to reveal themselves
with time in the glass. Dry finish. Needs time to show its paces.
Kleine Zalze Wines
Kleine Zalze Cellar Selection Chenin Blanc Select Cuvée 2007
Chenin Blanc - Stellenbosch - 2007
Pale yellow straw colour, limpid and leggy. Nose offers soft, floury
apples, nectarine, vanilla and nutty oak. Off dry in style, juicy flavours,
with an elegant creamy lift in the mid palate, mouthfilling and intense,
excellent drive on the finish. The oak is very complimentary and in
very good balance. This shows just how wonderful Chenin Blanc
can be.
Kanonkop Wine Estate
Kanonkop Pinotage 2004
Pinotage - Stellenbosch - 2004-2001
Lovely deep red colour with a small garnet rim. Lifted savory nose,
olive, dark fruit compote, fynbois, lead pencil and smoke. The palate
is a surprise, warm and generous, fleshy ripe fruits with savory
complexity, open structure with a firm core of supple tannins and
excellent balance. Fabulous pinotage for sheer enjoyment.

Inky deep red to rim. Smokey vanilla wood characters overlay the
fruit aromas initially. In the mouth the feel is smooth and chocolatey,
a core of intense almost jammy fruits; the wood element is
pronounced now but will settle and refine itself with time. Good long
finish.
Light watery pale colour. A waft of grapefruit aromas, with grass, wax
and sweet herbs. Zesty and upfront in the mouth, pithy
concentration with a streak of welcome bitterness to underscore the
ripe crunchy fruit character and lively acid structure. Would be an
excellent food partner.

Pale, bright gold. Intense nose packed with green pepper, fynbos
followed by lemon and melon and hints of green apple. All repeats in
crisp mouth. Lively, zesty finish. Too young to drink now. Allow the
potential to develop over next year or two and then enjoy as aperitif
or with food.
Medium bright yellow, with green/gold flashes. A warm ripe inviting
nose, scented melon, nougat, physallis with a waft of toast and
butterscotch. Weighty in the mouth, rich and full with excellent
acidity, long and elegant on the finish. Very nice wine.
Light burnished gold colour. Lovely nose, baked peach, malty oak
aromas and cream. The oak takes a back seat on the palate and
reveals the generous and luscious weight of tropical fruit, entwined
with darting citrus acidity keeping the whole palate fresh and lively. A
toasty smokey finish completes this lovely wine.

Lourensford Estate Seventeen Hundred 2005
Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz - Stellenbosch - 2005
This wine has a dark, vibrant garnet colour and a bouquet which is an
intriguing mix of smokey oak and a touch of farmyard. Its initial rustic
character is soon contrasted on the palate by rich sweet fruit in great
concentration through which runs a firm tannic vein. The finish is
sweet, long and stylish.

Inky earthen red colour, crimson edge. Nose has complex aromas, a

Quite an austere style, firm smokey tannins grip the fruit, a stoney
mineral element is evident on the long stylish finish.
Clear bright pale yellow colour with youthful green hints. Aromas are
pithy grapefruit and capsicum with bay leaf. Nice crisp acidity on the
palate with again a pithy slight bitter undertone with adds complexity.

beginning to give complexity. Lively, zesty finish. Very satisfying at this
early stage yet has good potential over next year or two.
Pale yellow. Delightful nose with lemon, lime and apple aromas. Just
the slightest hint of oak to give more complexity. All the fruit repeats
in the mouth where honey, caramel and butterscotch join the party.
Very gentle oak support adds to complexity in smooth and fairly full

background and just a hint of pencil shavings. Full and rounded in the
mouth with just a slight hesitation in the fruit flavours. They eventually
begin to show but the tight tannins seem to dominate at this stage.

Very dark core with bright blue/purple rim. Cherry and sweet tobacco
dominate the nose with some attractive floral notes in the background
while touches of clove and savoury eventually appear. Flavours as
suggested on the nose are laid down in layers as the wine fills the
mouth. Beautifully rounded and balanced Supple but definite tannins.
Some mature notes develop in the glass while hints of spice join in
the long, fruit filled finish. Lovely now yet lots of potential to develop.
Deeply coloured core of inky red, with a small pink edge. The nose is
very ripe, offering plum jam and sweet blackcurrant. The palate is
lavish with ripeness, but there is excellent structure here for warm
climate winemaking. Very good finish, a really well made made wine,
interpreting its terroir and climate superbly.

Dense opaque inky red to rim. Lifted aromas, violet, cherry,
loganberry, woodsmoke and mocha. Muscular and firm in the
mouth, sweet ripe fruits supported by tight oaky tannins. The balance
is excellent, the finish will open up with a bit more bottle age.
A deep and youthful ruby colour sets off this assertive, forward wine
redolent of tobaccoey oak. On the palate it is full bodied, mellow and
remarkably forward, with hints of red berries and black cherry It is a
generous wine with rich texture and great balance. Whilst already
most enjoyable it will improve with age.

flavours. Good structure and balance. Lots of fruit in long finish. Very

sweetness on the palate, of almost overripe dark cherries. Soft
tannins are in abundance in this flavourful chunky wine, but the initial

Sherry - Oloroso - Sweet - 30 YO
Dark cherry red core colour with a gentle thinning garnet edge.
Stunning vibrancy on the nose, chunky fresh red fruit aromas, jamon,
macaroons, sandalwood and humidor aromas. Balanced perfection
in the mouth, savoury sweet, gentle supportive tannins, harmonious
integrated wood notes, showing fantastic maturity but nowhere near
peaking yet. Stunning wine which reflects a stunning vintage.
Dark mahogany. Striking nose with brown sugar notes along with
nuts and some prune and raisin. Super smooth flow across the palate
Huge concentration and great balance. Great depth of maturity in the
mouth with waves of well developed flavours. Prune, raisin and dark
chocolate play their parts in complex array of flavours. Sweet palate
is well balanced by some caramel and good acidity. Long, super
smooth finish.
Bodegas Cruz De Alba SL
Brilliant. This wine is sheer class and a fine work of art. The nose is
pure syrah, blackberry, smoke, pepper and a touch of wet forest floor,
with a hint of cedar. All the expected promise of the nose is
delivered beautifully in the mouth. Finely structured, intense, graceful
and satiny smooth. A very streamlined long finish completes a very
wonderful wine.
Bodegas Ayuso SL
Estola Gran Reserva 1999
DO La Mancha - Gran Reserva - Tempranillo/
Cabernet Sauvignon - 1999
Medium garnet brick red with a fading brick edge. Nose initially
offers sweet oak and pastry aromas, then delicious raspberry and
summer berries, with touches of cedar, cassis and fragrant spices.
Although the acidity is a little marked, it in no way detracts from the
stunning elegance of the wine. Fruit and tannins are in wonderful
harmony, secondary mature characters present and complimentary
and the finish is just about perfect. A wine for Gourmands!

Peardroppy youthful aromas, but nice goosberry and passionfruit
aromas. Ripe and almost exotic in the mouth with mango notes.
Good acidity and typicity, a very appealing wine.
Watery pale yellow with green hints. Lovely nose, lemon sherbet,
blackcurrant leaf and kiwi fruits. The palate is tense, deliciously crisp
but full of flavour, both varietals offering their own individuality but
coming together in a fantastic blend. Long clean dry finish.
Delicious.
Toasty nose, carries on to a full bodied palate with significant yeast
autolysis.

the rear. Fresh and zesty finish. Great aperitif.
Fluorescent pink colour. Fine mix of rhubarb and redcurrant fruit on
the nose. The palate is soft fruits with a lot of residual sugar,
balanced by good acidity, with a surprisingly long finish.
Dark glossy red colour. Blackberry with a hint of smoky oak on the

tannins and a structured good ripe finish.

Deliciously sweet and savoury in the mouth, excellent concentration
and balance of tannin, acidity and sweet ripe fruit. Will cellar very
well, but very attractive now.
Pale green tinged colour. Very attractive nose with tropical tones and
fresh lime lift. Bright, lively acidity in the mouth with more lime and
then some melon and nectarine. Great youthful attraction. Delightful

Intense ripe nose, sweet peach with a smearing of honey that leads to
rich concentrated flavours of pineapple, apricot with a backing of
butterscotch. Almost tooth achingly sweet, a vein of acidity keeps
this long and lingering.
Bright pink hue. Rose petals and red currant fruit on the nose with
herbaceous nuances with savoury overtones on the palate. Delightful
freshness to the wine with a white pepper essence on the finish.
Red hues with a brown tinge. Bouquet of ripe berry fruits laced with
vanilla. Palate was sweet, with supple tannins and good fruit
concentration of ripe black plums, cherries and spice. Attractive wine
with length.

Blended Red Wine - Cabernet Franc Dominated - Napa Valley - 2002
Deep, intense purple. Equally intense, deep berry fruit packed nose
where ripe blackberry and raspberry feature strongly. Layers of
flavour in the mouth repeating what the nose promised with hint of
rhubarb coming into the frame with some spicy notes. Beautiful floral
perfume in the back ground. Very youthful but supple tannins will
need a while to settle and soften.
Intensly sweet bouquet, lychees, canteloup melons and a floral note
lead on to a rich palate of exotic fruit. The finish is rich & creamy with
enough acidity to stop it being cloying with a touch of honey on the
finish. Beautifully crafted.
Garnet hues with deep and concentrated aromas of earth and
mushrooms. Bags of fruit left on palate, blackcurrants, vibrant acidity
with a tannic backbone and a long smoky finish.
