Outrageous. The Lafite of Germany. So classy. Aristocratic. Will need a decade but still utterly perfect in every way. A diamond cut from sun. — 10 days ago

Porter-Bass Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

Deep, dark ruby with a suuuper perfumed nose of ripe cherry and crunchy dark plum, with slightly bark notes and maybe even a little mint and balsamic showing in the background. Light medium bodied, with beautiful flavor and well integrated tannin, there’s still SO much energy to this, with strange and fun note of things like pine needles, balsamic, pomegranate, peppery notes and ripe plum, with hints of black mulch and iron integrated throughout. — 2 months ago

Very solid zin. Definitely more on the elegant side, though still over 14.5%. Haven’t had before and enjoyed. — 4 months ago

Premium Chardonnay 2017

This is an excellent Chardonnay keeping pace with Bass Phillip’s Premium Pinot Noir. That has not always been the case but this certainly is. Stone fruit and honeycomb with a creamy texture and medium plus intensity on the palate. Enough acid to warrant having the last bottle later in the year or early in 2027. — 2 months ago

Rossj - Bass Langhe Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Ming L
9.3

This 2018 Rossj-Bass continues to impress with its vibrant and layered expression. On the nose, the Sauvignon Blanc influence lends bright aromatic lift, offering ripe peach, zesty lemon peel, and a delicate touch of passionfruit, all woven together with nuances of almond and a whisper of jasmine. The palate is beautifully balanced, round and texture with a medium-full body, yet lifted by a lively, refreshing acidity. The finish is polished and harmonious. Effortless drinkability. — 7 months ago

The Estate Pinot Noir 2016

A typically good Bass Phillip Estate PN from a good vintage. Mid red in colour with a tawny hint. Aromatics of stewed red fruits with Sous Bois/compost heap. Dried herbs. The palate is delicious showing those savoury red fruits finishing with silky tannins. All coming together at 10 years of age. Sadly my last bottle from this vintage. — 2 months ago

@Bob McDonald restocking is getting very pricey the 2022 Bass Phillip Reserve PN is now about $A 1200 or about $US 800 😮

@David White Yes the price of the Reserve has gone through the roof since Phillip Jones sold to the Burgundians. I must admit to buying some in previous vintages when it was around $500/$600 but not now. The Premium is still worth it.

Ernst Loosen Pfalz Pinot Noir Rosé 2024

Thinking pink as summer temps continue into October...
Strawberries and minerals on the nose and palate, more mild acidity compared to prior years. I'm loving this vintage!!
