Perfumed Refined Goodness! A single vineyard wine until 1989, Coleraine is an blend of the finest wines produced from distinct plots within Te Mata Estate’s oldest Havelock Hills vineyards, first planted in 1892. Always a cabernet sauvignon dominant wine, often with merlot and cabernet franc, Coleraine is refined and classical, demonstrating the immense potential for Bordeaux blends in Hawke’s Bay. In fact, it looks mroe Bordelais than most Aussie Cabernet.Very powerful in its youth, t

From the vineyard Frontebosco, in front of the forrest. Big jump in mid-palate weight from the Contrada Volpare with more exotics coming through in the mix. This is impressive, the underlying saline thing is there. Beautiful shape and flow, fans out building persistence and lingering citrus oils.Builds beautifully, super fine acid and nuanced, sophisticated phenolics that cleanse subtly. Seamless, harmonious and complete.Plenty more to come here. Drink it over 3-4 days & watch it s

From the vineyard Frontemare, in front of the sea. The first release of the sister wine to the Frontebosco.More tightly wound at the moment everything appears to be there in all the right places it just needs a little more time to build generosity which it most certainly will.Finer acid if that's even possible. Citrus and soft green herbs again chalky and more mineral characters in the mix. A lovely transparency and fine finish without any broadness. Building more mid-palate weight in

The Maugeri 2023 Etna Bianco Superiore Contrada Volpare Frontebosco (with 6,200 bottles created) comes from a vineyard adjacent to a forest with ancient stone terracing, as its name "Frontebosco" suggests. It's not just the power of suggestion, because you do pick up on hints of balsam herb or forest floor beyond white fruit and peach. The wine ages on lees for eight months (with no malolactic fermentation and no bâtonnage). These techniques (or lack thereof) contribute to the wine's linear and

The most mineral-driven of these new releases from Maugeri is the 2023 Etna Bianco Superiore Contrada Praino Frontemare. This is a young winery with enormous promise ahead of it. Grapes for this 3,300-bottle release come from a vineyard site on the east side of the volcano that faces the sea and has steep stone terraces on sandy, mineral-rich soils and yellowish clay. The wine spends eight months on the fine lees (with no malolactic fermentation and no bâtonnage). The result offers salty flavor

On a spectrum of boldest to most elegant, the Rheingau sits in the middle for me, making cracking dry Rizza with plenty of tension whilst have the balance to produce superb off-dry to sweet wines."The 2019 Kiedrich Turmberg Riesling Auslese is precise and flinty on the nose that displays very fine raisin and honey aromas, spiced with notes of crushed slate. Charmingly round and elegant on the refined palate, this is a salty-piquant and stimulating Auslese with remarkable grip and finesse. A

Pavelot's Top wine rates as one of the few remaining bargains in Burgundy! An extremely ripe yet again, still fresh nose offers up its aromas of mocha, poached plum and black cherry jam. The rich, round and quite supple medium-bodied flavors immediately firm up on the youthfully austere, palate coating and lightly mineral infused finale. This firmly structured effort is going to need at least some patience as it's presently quite tightly wound. Drink: 2036+ ♥ OutstandingBurghoundAlso

Giovanni Sordo Barolo 2013

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Museum release. Direct from the cellars landed end 2024.I've had the pleasure of devouring most of the 2013 Crus from Sordo, but never the Barolo Classico until now. A great summary of this vintage. This wine typically has a significant La Mora component and it shows in the pure, plush red fruits of great transparency and lick of chocolate. A wonderful perfume lifts from the glass on opening. Just shifting into a nice place, building secondary development. Layers of earthy, truffled, slatey

The perfect and some what more affordable introduction to the wines of Ornellaia.For a long time I was unconvinced wines made from French varieties made in Italy.
