10/12/2013 - AlexGarner Likes this wine: 92 pointsJames Halliday top regional Chardonnay tasting (Prince Wine Store - Bank Street): Oats and raw nits on the nose with a nice lime element. The palette is full of searing acidity that while bold, is balanced and refined. There is a nice tangerine note on the full bodied finish. |

2011 A. Rodda Chardonnay MurrummongBeechworth more |
8/17/2013 - AlexGarner Likes this wine: 91 pointsA big and stinky old-world style nose, but definitely muscular Yarra Valley fruit. There is a fresh, oyster-shell mineral with white peach, candle wax and grilled nuts. The palette is fresh and lemony, but with a good hit of balanced oak and some gentle acidity. |

2008 Adams Gully Cabernet SauvignonMcLaren Vale more |
12/4/2012 - AlexGarner Likes this wine: 88 pointsThis is quite a big boy, with a nose of blue fruits, violets and oak spiciness. The palette is very hot with a front mouth of tannins and a brash pepperiness. The acidity is in check, but this is still a little too young to get into now. This could look really interesting in another decade. |

2013 Alamos MalbecMendoza more |
1/10/2016 - AlexGarner Likes this wine: 91 pointsI'm very impressed with the value of this wine. A spicy but fruit-driven nose with strawberry, bramble and pepper and a clean and interesting palette with plenty of structural acidity. |

2015 Allandale SémillonHunter Valley more |
7/9/2016 - AlexGarner Does not like this wine: 84 pointsThe acidity is way to cutting for the delicate florals and lemon in this wine. The nose is pretty, but subdued, even after days three and with little to no refrigeration. Structurally the wine is not in harmony, and the austerity comes at the expense of any interesting flavours. After three days it was still too dry and flat, but there were some interesting floral notes in the background. |

2011 Allegrini Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie Corte Giaramore |
1/23/2013 - AlexGarner Likes this wine: 90 pointsThis takes a little while to open up, but the overall nose is very consistent - the volume just goes up a few notches over time. It is a very generous dusty peach and lime juice nose that hints at a searing dryness, but is still quite a sweet and floral affair. |

9/4/2010 - AlexGarner Likes this wine: 92 pointsA clean focussed chardonnay nose with lemon butter and a musky fruit driven palette of pears, and lemon juice. The finish is clean with some nice mineral lines. |

2021 Altera Terra ShirazSouth Eastern more |
6/18/2022 - AlexGarner Likes this wine: 94 pointsDoug Neal with Hesket, Altera Terra & Gaffy Neal new releases (Prince Wine Store - Bank Street): This one has McLaren Vale Shiraz as well as the usual Murrumbateman grapes, but this still has a nose of confectionary and plums. There is delicate oak and the palate is chock full of tiny focussed tannins, more plums and raspberry leaf. |

6/18/2022 - AlexGarner Likes this wine: 96 pointsDoug Neal with Hesket, Altera Terra & Gaffy Neal new releases (Prince Wine Store - Bank Street): Lots of complexity with deep red and blue fruits on the nose and a cedar perfume running through it.

3/6/2010 - AlexGarner wrote: 92 pointsPrince Wine Store - the staff's favourite wines from 2009 tasting (Prince Wine Store - Bank Street): What an impressive wine for the price.

NV Alvear Pedro Ximénez Montilla-Moriles Solera 1927more |
7/15/2010 - AlexGarner Likes this wine: 95 pointsDennis Lock's Birthday (Charcoal Grill on the Hill, Kew): Colour and consistency of motor oil. One guest announced 'death by raisins' - a pretty good summary. Apart from raisins, the nose showed christmas cake and madera and a bit of orange peel. The palette revealed a thick unctuous syrup of toast, olives, raisins and chocolate. Spectacular. |
