Moss Wood

Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

My 11th bottle of an original dozen bought on release. Still going strong after 26 years. Colour of mid crimson with a tawny rim. When decanted the wine threw a lot of sediment. Herbaceous with red fruits - hint of red currants. Palate is mid weight - sweet and savoury at once, finishing with smooth resolved tannins. I will leave the last one for another 1 or 2 years / say early 2027. — 15 days ago

Estate Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2021

Easy to drink. You can enjoy this well made wine with food or without. A little fat on your pallet will open up this accessible but not inexpensive wine and you will enjoy some nice fruits. — a month ago

Paul Sauer Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2017

The 2017 Paul Sauer is a Bordeaux blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc and 7% Merlot with good acidity integrated tannins and rich fruits showing through
A gorgeous offering and representing the art of blending in the South African wine business at the moment.
Excellent wine. And a worthy OTBN (22/2/25) wine

Leeuwin Estate

Art Series Margaret River Chardonnay 2020

Elegant and still a little closed - it needed an hour to reveal its considerable depth of lemon, apple, flint, wet stone, friend lemon zest, candle wax. It’s just beginning to show hints of honey and hazelnut. Brilliant fresh acidity and long finish — 10 days ago

In double-blind tastings, I commonly call these as high quality white Burgundy, typically Chassagne-Montrachet. So good.

Alheit Vineyards

Cartology Bushvines Chenin Blanc Blend 2023

Very clean, pure profile with a nice creamy texture by the semillon and acidity in balance. Not super expressive for the pedigree, maybe needs time — a month ago
