2016 Pooley Chardonnay Cooinda ValeCoal River more |
5/11/2024 - NickBri Likes this wine: 93 pointsGorgeous and golden, drinking in its prime. It’s a patchwork of fine boned fruit, lemon zest, mixed nuts, struck match and rolling oak. Length and breadth in the wine is great, with a little bit of butter filling it all in. Faint spice and minerals have it singing on an uptick. |

4/26/2024 - NickBri Likes this wine: 92 pointsA cracker. On night one, the crunchy cherries and crisp and clear. On night 2, they are a darker red and a bit juicier. A hint raspy, lime juice acidity, and plenty of chewy tobacco. This wine has depth and breadth wilst remaining light enough. |

2023 Ravensworth RieslingCanberra District more |
3/30/2024 - NickBri Likes this wine: 93 pointsIncredibly consistent. This drinks similarly to the 2022. Plush and marginal with funk on day one, making one double-take and appreciate. As it opens (and performs on night 2) it integrates and gains a textural depth. |

2022 Shaw and Smith Pinot NoirAdelaide Hills more |
3/8/2024 - NickBri Likes this wine: 94 pointsClassy number from Shaw and Smith… Cherries, Strawberries, Nutmeg and other spice. A hint of game and fair acid. Some white pepper and plentiful smattering of tannin. Makes me think of Mornington Pinot for some reason… 92+ |

2023 Adelina RieslingWatervale more |
3/1/2024 - NickBri Likes this wine: 92 pointsCrisp fruit, sparkling minerality , light viscosity and texture, and maybe a hint of quartz. There is some complexity here, but very youthful obviously. Still, it’s happy drinking if you give it a night. |

2/24/2024 - NickBri Likes this wine: 92 pointsDelightful little number. Lightly savoury with dry cherries, spice, wisps of tar, great line of lime acid and a quartz finish ever so faintly dusted with ashen tannins. |

2023 Swinney RieslingFrankland River more |
2/12/2024 - NickBri Likes this wine: 93 pointsLemonzzz… dressed in pretty florals, some leesy feelings, humming and buzzing. Light licks of oil, texture, and a playful length, like you could wrap a curl of zest around your tongue. 93+ |

1/28/2024 - NickBri Likes this wine: 94 pointsSlick little red berries, drying. Licks of aniseed. Pretty pink petals and lime acidity. This wine is incredibly moreish. There is some crunch and some gloss. A hint of smoke, cola, and plenty chewy tobaccan tannins. |

1/26/2024 - NickBri Likes this wine: 94 pointsFurther developed from the last time I drank it. Fine fruited, but coming with green garden gnarl. Its quite silken, and humming with vibrancy. Yummy leesy mealiness, great acid and a minerally/quartz finish. |

2023 Shaw and Smith Sauvignon BlancAdelaide Hills more |
1/22/2024 - NickBri Likes this wine: 92 pointsSilken, so refined. Yet its also textural. Fine tropical fruits, lightly toasty palate, balanced acidity and a fair length (of minerals). 92+, maybe 93. |

2018 Pooley Chardonnay Cooinda ValeCoal River more |
1/22/2024 - NickBri Likes this wine: 94 pointsFine fruited, yet plush. White peach, green garden gnarl and faint nectarine. Mild leesy action, nice acidity, this wine is absolutely humming. Oak so fine and integrated, just a hint of toasty warmth within the cool fruit. Sparkling minerality on the finish. |

2017 Luke Lambert ChardonnayYarra Valley more |
1/19/2024 - NickBri Likes this wine: 94 pointsMmmm... cracking drinking right now. Textural chardonnay. White peaches, white florals, crunchy green grapes. Touches of yeast, spice and faint flint. Strong line of acidity, integrated oak and minerals. Good breadth and length. |

2023 Shaw and Smith RieslingAdelaide Hills more |
1/15/2024 - NickBri Likes this wine: 93 pointsA beautiful Riesling. Approachable now, even. It has a plush palate of green grapes and faint spice. Mild white florals and only a whisper of kero. It’s quite textural and has lime acid drive. Chalky and minerally on the finish. |

2017 Tapanappa Chardonnay 1.5M TiersPiccadilly Valley more |
12/10/2023 - NickBri Likes this wine: 92 pointsFine and dry. Quality fruit. White peaches and plenty of mealiness/leesiness. Stirring acid and textural finish. It has some elegance, but is perhaps not fully integrated. Maybe best in a couple more years… |
