2007 De Iuliis Shiraz Limited ReleaseHunter Valley more |
5/13/2024 - EdLark Likes this wine: 96 pointsDark and intense, a full bodied Shiraz. Dark berries, plum and spice. Lovely oak flavours with firm tannins which have mellowed but will hold up well for a number of years cellaring. |

2021 Landaire Chardonnay Single VineyardPadthaway more |

4/22/2024 - EdLark Likes this wine: 92 pointsDeep red colour with an almost plummy bouquet. On the palate it’s lighter weight than I expected with the flavours more subdued but refined - red berries even a hint of strawberry with subtle oak. Very fine tannins for a relatively young wine. |

2017 St. John's Road Grenache The ResilientBarossa Valley more |
4/14/2024 - EdLark Likes this wine: 94 pointsAt first blush I was a little disappointed as the colour was very light and pinotish. Bouquet was also somewhat subdued. However on the palate the flavours came through with strawberry and a hint of spice. Tannins subdued but still there. Interesting to see how it will develop. |

2014 Mistletoe Shiraz ReserveHunter Valley more |
4/11/2024 - EdLark Likes this wine: 94 pointsFine tannins, medium body and flavours of cassis and blueberry. A very pleasant wine although I'm not sure it will have the legs to go to 2054 as Halliday suggests. |
