Antinori Tenuta Guado al Tasso Il Bruciato 2023
Deep ruby-purple. Generous nose of blackberry, dark plum, sweet spice and Mediterranean herbs over a savoury graphite-and-tobacco backbone. Full-bodied with polished tannins, a juicy dark-fruit core and a long, structured finish lifted by Bolgheri's coastal freshness. A Cabernet-led Bolgheri Rosso designed for early drinking but with good cellaring potential — excellent with grilled red meats, wild boar ragù or aged Pecorino.
Yarra Yering Dry Red Wine No. 2 2017
Yarra Yering Dry Red Wine No. 2 2017
This is a wine that has many personalities and offers layers upon layers of complexity; sweet and savoury all at once. The fragrance is a melting pot of violets, plums, savoury spices and bramble. Moderate in weight; the plum fruits come in all colours dialling up the flavour interest. There is cigar box and cardamom spice lending intrigue. Firm tannins ably support the fruit and texture drive the palate. This one is hard to put in a box, there is so much to love.

Glenelly Estate Reserve 2017
Glenelly Estate Reserve 2017 is the signature red blend of Glenelly inspired by the classic Claret style of the 1700s, with Cabernet Sauvignon as its backbone, delivering rich cassis, mulberry, cedar, and tobacco notes. Syrah adds red and black cherry flavors with a touch of black pepper spice on the mid-palate. The wine is complex, layering intense fruit with mocha, Christmas cake, sandalwood, and leather. Fresh, fruity acidity balances firm tannins, leading to a clean, dry finish with strong aging potential.

Gabriëlskloof Syrah on Sandstone Bot River 2020
The Gabriëlskloof `Syrah on Sandstone` Bot River 2020
From vines that are reaching a good level of maturity, this is a really impressive Syrah from Peter-Allan. Lavender and liquorice, and blackberry fruit mark out a wine that balances the warmth of the site and delicate winemaking.
96/100 Deano da Vino Simply Outstanding!!!!!
SHAW + SMITH Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2020
Floral aromas and a touch of cherries. Integrated soft tannins and a graphite-like earthiness together with red fruits and spice notes of dried herbs on the palate gives this wine great depth and complexity.
94/100 Deano da Vino - Complex, with layers of earthiness, cigar box, and dark broody cherries and a hint of mixed spice. Drinking superbly now, or can last 5 years

TASTING NOTES:
Vibrant red cherry, Karoo shrub and spicy notes on the bouquet. Incredibly soft on palate entry. The mid-palate is creamy, juicy,
bursting with flavour and finishes with a very moreish, lingering aftertaste. Fine dry tannins will ensure beneficial further ageing.
85% Shiraz
12% Grenache
3% Mourvedre

Mullineux Syrah 2021
The Mullineux Syrah 2021 has Swartland aromatic notes of spicy citrus zest, black fruit, and violets, which follow through on the palate. The wine is elegant and restrained yet has good body and a silky texture balanced by a fresh, natural acidity. The finish is long with supple, dusty tannins.

Tua Rita Rosso dei Notri 2022
Tua Rita Rosso dei Notri 2022
Clear ruby red. Compact nose, lots of ripe fruit, cherry and plum, behind some vanilla and dark chocolate. The palate is balanced and full, nice interplay between fruit and spice, ripe tannins and well-integrated acidity, a little black pepper on the finish.
92/100 - Falstaff
Genuine and decidedly vibrant, it shows notes of raspberries, currants, cherries, lime, mandarin peel, camphor, black cherries and chopped almonds. Full body, soft and enveloping in the sip, it closes harmonious and balanced with excellent progression. Drink now.
