9.0

Lively red apple, ripe pear, grapefruit and citrus zest, and subtle red berry notes, with a hint of toasted brioche. The fine mousses are quite vigorous in the bottle, leading to a refreshing, clean finish. Easy to enjoy. — 5 months ago

Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett Feinherb Riesling 2023

Wow what’s not to love there! Lemon curd and lemon peel, chalk, white flowers, a bit of petroly thing too. The palate is a great acid backbone and everything else is a complement to it. There are some lemon juice, lemon peel notes dancing around Yes, there is some width, almost a viscosity quality to it on the fringes, some grip in the rear, before a great long lemon curd, honey, lemon peel finish that is lasting for ever. There is clearly SR in there, but it's so well integrated and balanced that it's super fresh and fun. You gotta love it! For 14 Eur in the Hamburg airport it's a steal. — 7 months ago

Hill of Grace Vineyard Shiraz 1996

Only pale to mid crimson in colour with a tawny edge at 26 years of age. Black and blue fruits with game and a coffee bean note. The medium bodied yet rich palate is savoury and earthy with blackberry and just so so silky with resolved tannins and low acid. Not sure that I agree totally with Bob Campbell MW’s description - “like getting into an old Jag on a hot day”, but I love the imagery and can see where he’s coming from. Jancis said “pure hedonism “ and gave it 19/20. The latest iteration of H of G (2017) is selling for around $950 a bottle in Brisbane. No doubt brilliant but too expensive for me. I remember paying $12.50 for the 1982 vintage on release. There is a certain H of G character that is recognisable over many vintages over the years. Must be one of the most unique Shiraz vineyards in the world with vines up to a 150 years old. A privilege to drink this wine and close to perfection with 98 points. — 3 years ago
