Clonale has hit the big time! Auditioned next to Pierro Chardonnay 09 for inclusion this week and Clonale got the gig – it’s a better wine! Ooh, aah! Ricocheting with grapefruit, fig and persimmon exoticity, nuanced with smoked ham, pulling into a clean-crafted finish. Rating: 94 points Tyson Tselzer
Vibrant pale straw colour with a tinge of green. Subtle aromas of grapefruit, white peach, and orange blossom. Grapefruit mingling with lemon barley, brioche, and honeydew melon flavours. The palate mixes a thickness of texture with crisp acidity. Lemon zest, nectarine and a distinctly savory, almost salty cracker, type of flavour. There's plenty of things to like here, it's not too austere, oak is subtle and toned down, it's mid-weight yet of full flavour and there's a long tight flinty finish. Wheaty complexity too. . This is a lovely drinking wine. Rated : 93 Points Winefront.com.au
Le Mesnil is making stunning and generously priced Grand Cru Chardonnay Champagnes. With an unrivalled provenance and over two years bottle ageing, the wine has a generous floral nose, a deliciously refreshing yet rich palate and a clean satisfying finish.The aperitif of choice chez moi, this Champagne is an absolute winner every time!

Rich smooth dark fruit, light Asian spice and choc-vanilla with some savouries thrown in. It’s fluid and lush, but not overbearing or lumpen, delivering the right amount of polished McLaren Shiraz to all the right places. Length is excellent as is the flow and balance – open grained chocolaty tannin and a faint saltiness fade away to close. Ripper value. Rated : 91 Points Winefront.com.au Learn More
Full crimson-purple; co-fermented with a small percentage of viognier, and matured in (roughly) one-third each new, one-year-old and two-year-old high quality French oak. It is a style I have always liked, its supple mouthfeel, generous black fruits and soft tannins coming together with the oak in a harmonious finish. 95 points James Halliday
Though I’ve scored it the same, I suspect I like the style of this better than the previous vintage. Importer: Fourth Wave Wine Lavender and thyme perfume, spice, blue fruit and boysenberry. Medium bodied with a good uptake of fleshy berry fruit, but tasty southern French elements taper it off neatly. Tannin well tucked in and a juicy, but dry finish. Spot on. No largesse. Great affordable spicy Shiraz drinking. 91 points
"What a bruiser this is. Talk about intense. Porty, choclatey, flooded with rich, warm, blackberried flavour - it's so intense, it's syrupy. Its tannin structure is fine, though, and the length is good. And really, intensity like this cannot be ignored. It's a thing of wonder. If you love a big red, this wine would make for a great choice."
Very deep black-crimson, The Boxer shows a full spectrum of flavours from fresh berries and plum, to fig and blackberry jam, surrounded by cinnamon spice, licorice, and lovely warm oak with hints of cigar box and tobacco. Soft luscious palate-coating fruit with incredible depth, combined with creamy chocolate oak layers producing a complex wine with amazing power. Learn More
