Bin 389 South Australia Cabernet Shiraz 2010

9.5

Dense dark crimson - almost black in colour. Red and black fruits, choc/mocha; and wild mint. An inner core of strength, concentration and intensity. The following night - Blackberry, rich, ripe fruits. A powerful 389 which will live for decades. My first of 11. Destined for greatness. 100% American Oak. 51% Cabernet Sauvignon; 49% Shiraz. — 17 days ago

Torbreck Vintners

The Steading Barossa Valley Grenache Blend 2020

Ray Vanderhoff

9.3

Blend of Grenache (65%), Shiraz (20%) and Mataro (15%). Bright garnet color with a ruby core. Aromas of red berries, dried violets, dried earth and cedar. Complex flavors of dried cherries and raspberries, red currants, black tea, Asian spices, black olives and tobacco. Long lasting savory and tangy finish. Silky texture, well balanced acidity and nicely integrated soft tannins. — a month ago

@Ray Vanderhoff Possibly my favourite Torbreck cuvée particularly from a QPR point of view.

@Bob McDonald First time for me. Outstanding wine. I will certainly purchase this one again and looking forward to trying additional Torbreck wines.

Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Vino Joe

9.4

Deep dark brooding wine. Packs some heat but remains balanced and long. Dark fruit, high alcohol but it works in the structure. I loved this wine and will seek out more as this was a one off bottle. — 20 days ago

Leeuwin Estate

Art Series Margaret River Chardonnay 2013

Bob McDonald

9.5

A pale lemon yellow in colour - quite youthful looking for a 12 year old Chardonnay. Aromatics of white peach - mealy and nutty notes, still with a nice acid cut at the finish. Drinking at its peak. Fuller than some Marg River Chardonnays I’ve had lately like Xanadu and Fraser Gallop. I have had richer Art Series Chardonnays but personally I love the balance in this. — 11 days ago

@Bob McDonald wow that looks like an amazing bottle of aged Chardonnay

Bob McDonald

@Rob Brobst III Always a quality bottle of Chardonnay Rob. Varies between medium bodied to medium/full bodied but built to last 10+ years.

d'Arenberg

The Dead Arm McLaren Vale Shiraz 2008

Bob McDonald

9.5

An excellent full bodied Shiraz from a warm year in McLaren Vale and South Australia in general. Red and black fruits with a tarry creosote note as in previous notes. Rich and flavoursome on the full bodied palate but not heavy - very well done. The Dead Arm is the top red cuvée from d’Arenberg. Drinking at its peak. — a month ago
