As classic as a 2CV and twice as elegant. Yes! you feel, this - THIS is what Cabernet Franc from the Loire should taste like. Benchmark. Lovely juice, as they say — 10 years ago

Not sure how long Geoff Weaver has been making wine but I know its counted in decades. This is so effortlessly classy, full and bright as any Aussie wine shd be but with a restraining hand on the throttle. Demonstrates power is so much more intense when held in check — 10 years ago

Superb floral, orange blossom nose gives onto a fine structured palate with brisk acidity and fine tannic texture. Beautifully put together — 10 years ago

Oh dear. From my favourite Spring Mtn winery from a difficult but potentially great vintage. Just unbalanced, clunky oak. Too young? I wonder... — 10 years ago

This is the famous 77 - what they call the "forgotten vintage". Never declared, Cockburns under ownership of Allied Domecq. It's very fine, not great, fig and high spice notes, old old cigar box, delicate, hint of oxidation. — 10 years ago

One if the strangest wines. Greco, 18 months on skins. Sour and cider-like but somehow compelling — 10 years ago

Astonishing! Love the way it recognises a label with no script. Just a horny old devil. — 10 years ago
