Heathcote Syrah. Super light and savoury. All about poise and structure. Really nice example of a style we don't normally get in Australia. — 11 years ago
Lightly chewy tannins, bold ripe fruit and berry flavors and incredible value for what you get. Easily worth twice the price. — 11 years ago
Margaret River herbaceousness and mint but richer in this excellent vintage with plum and mulberry. This wine is 20 years young and will cellar for another 10 years without a problem. 14% ABV. First planted in 1969. Un-irrigated, Scott Henry trellis. One of the great Moss Woods - up there with 2001. If the Barolo I had yesterday was one of the best reds so far in 2025 this was only a point behind it. — a year ago

Oaky but not too buttery. I think it was reasonably priced so a good drinking wine. — 9 years ago
Deep garnet robe. Weak nose with promised bent notes of blackberries, black currants and dry wood. Sweet, berry flavour with a short finish with a hint of tannins and a warm finish from the alcohol. Lovely wine to contrast with cheese. — 10 years ago
More acid than the 2012, lime and acid. — 11 years ago

Happy belated Zwanze Day! Celebrating with this 2017 bottling of Cantillon’s Classic Gueuze. Over the years, I have drifted to be a little more fond of 3 Fonteinen but I’m really splitting hairs. This is world class.
Popped and poured; crushed in 30min after doing the first yard work of 2024 and getting the hops trained to the trellis. The gueuze pours a brilliant golden color with a persistent head. On the nose, mostly tasty stone fruits: apricots, peach, kumquat, horse blanket, stony minerals. On the palate, the gueuze is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and refreshing. Drink now. — 2 years ago

.......unlike some so called "Amarone" producers, who trim the canopy back to sun blister the grapes in order expedite the sugar concentration, and also trellis lower to the ground to obtain excess moisture and rapid raisination, the Biscardo family's Ripasso Superiore is a TRUE " baby Amarone". In fact.....for a fraction of the price, it is better than many of those AmaPHONY producers Amarone! — 10 years ago
