Accolade Wines

Joshua Cooper

Doug's Vineyard-Romsey Pinot Noir 2020

Just a swig. A little syrah-like, I thought. Probably the vintage. Still, a complex number with good energy. On a separate note, a well-deserved accolade for Josh this year - Best New Winery at the Halliday Wine Companion Awards. Bravo! — a year ago

CrossKeys Vineyards

Virginina Cabernet Franc 2015

This Virginia gold-medal winner threw me a curveball. Not a traditional build, this had a particularly heavy mid-palate mouth feel coupled with interesting herbal characteristics. The spice note was present but interwoven with unique fruit notes that became an acquired taste after the second glass and a little bit of air. I might give this one another try ;) however, I struggle to find the answer for the answer for its high accolade. — 8 years ago

Raul Pérez

La Vizcaina La Vitoriana Lomas de Valtuille Bierzo Mencia 2018

An epic vintage of La Vizcaina. A wine with great poise, elegance, depth, and texture. Raul Perez deserves every accolade and bit of attention he is receiving. Marvelous Mencia. — 4 years ago

Raul Perez’ wines are so good I pray for him to live to be 115 and keep making them.

Barossa Ink Shiraz 2017

Velvety smooth, creamy, not massively fruity, really rich flavour though. Quaffable. — 5 years ago

Bass Phillip

Reserve Pinot Noir 2007

Aromas of mushroom and forest floor. Great intensity on the palate. One of the most impressive statements I’ve ever read about this winery and it’s wines was from Rob Geddes MW who said “Putting it simply, Bass Phillip has made some of the best Pinot Noir I’ve drunk in my whole life, from anywhere of any age”. I would think that Rob, being a Master of Wine would have drunk quite a number of Grand Crus in his time so this is quite the accolade. Even at 12 years of age still a future - say 3 to 5 years. Phillip Jones says up to 15 years. Palate staining root vegetable juice!! — 6 years ago

Ponte Family Estate

Super T Tuscan Blend 2010

With A dry vine aroma, this wine carries across a delicious fruity flavor which slowly recedes into a merry accolade of freshly ground coffee — 11 years ago
