Best Albarino of the trip. Characteristic salty acidic cut, with citrus and white flowers but the oak adds breadth. Better with air. Great food wine — 3 days ago

9.1

Dense savoury and dark fruit aromas. Silky and weightless on the palate. Classic Otago savoury character but with more red fruit than normal. Standard Rockburn is more serious and better p/q — 21 days ago

9.2

Could be confused with a Vosne village. Exquisite spicy dark fruit expression typical of Central Otago but lacking in tannin and sufficient acid to really sing. A great wine nonetheless — 2 months ago

9.2

Classic Priorat old vine grenache (with a splash of carignan?) med bodied, balanced, with fine tannins and a good spine of acid giving freshness and structure. A bit more fruit and age and this would be stunning — 9 days ago

9.4

A massive, brooding, muscular expression of shiraz. Pure, deep, fantastic fine tannins, but needs some serious time. Better in 10 years, amazing in 20! — 2 months ago

Exceptional but young. Showing what rhe next 50yrs will bring. The tannins are the star. — 2 months ago
