Purchased at the winery about 4 or 5 years ago, we thought this was excellent - much better than some of the ratings we saw in the trade magazines. Intense but balanced, complex fruit with hints of eucalyptus that for me is a great trademark of wines from this region in Australia, this was really terrific. — 4 years ago

En nariz aromas a mar con fruta como pera. Una mineralidad con tonos de tiza. Un toque de madera. En boca buena acidez complementa una boca voluminosa. Los minerales son notables pero con un aspecto cremoso. Muy bueno. (V Suarez) — 8 years ago

Its so rare to find Australian offerings at nice restaurants ...this one was fairly surprising at $60. — 10 years ago

Delicious and unexpectedly bold with subtlety. A finessed, velvety finish with dark red fruit. 2013 has held up exceptionally well. — 5 years ago

Happy New Year!

Maybe the Michel Arnould old vines powerhouse is too serious for a lighthearted celebration, but it was just right for father and son wine geeks having New Years dinner alone together for the first time since 1999.

85 Barros colheita port
92 Bruno Michel Champagne
