Scarborough Keeper of The Flame Vineyard Selection Hunter Valley Shiraz Viognier 2023 scores 95 points in WBM. “This is lifted, satiny textured, perfumed Shiraz Viognier with characteristic florals and stone fruit amongst an offering of dark berries and subtle woody spice. The palate is plush without losing precision, showing off silky tannins along a good stretch of flavour. Lots packed into the framework here. A wine of elegance and generosity intertwined.” $100. @scarboroughwines @huntervalley @huntervalley.wine #Shiraz #Viognier #HunterValley #elegance #generosity ❤️
Tim Smith Wines Barossa Valkey Mataro Grenache Shiraz 2024 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A harmonious blend showing dark berry, toasty/nutty spice, ginger biscuit and earthy complexity. The palate is medium to full-bodied with supple tannins and a squish of blood orange freshness through the finish. Quite intense, but the drinkability holds up, a vitality that makes for easy drinking and a little finesse for the style. Well done.” $32. @timsmithbarossa @barossawines @mybarossa #Grenache #Shiraz #BarossaValley #harmonious #93 ❤️
Paringa Estate Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir 2023 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “The cool, late-ripening and low-yielding 2023 harvest is an exemplar of all that Lindsay McCall has worked like a demon to achieve in his estate vineyards over 36 vintages on the Mornington Peninsula. I love its effortless, graceful flow of juicy red and black cherry fruits, its mineral-fine tannins, bright acidity and the perfectly understated touch of both whole bunch fermentation and French oak. Gorgeous.” $70. @paringaestate @mpwine #PinotNoir #effortless #graceful #gorgeous #95
McWilliam’s Hanwood Estate Riverina Very Rare Tawny NV scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Luxurious and deeply complex with layers of dried fruit, caramel, toffee apple, roasted nuts and lashings of peppery and sweet spice. The palate is rich and unctuous, sticky and palate staining and yet surprisingly balanced with a lift of clean, fresh alcohol a boon. Inudlgent and opulent stuff, done so very well.” $175. @mcwilliamswines #Riverina #Tawny #luxurious #complex ❤️
In the November/December edition of WBM, Tony Love reports from the Daejeon International Wine Expo in South Korea, saying the large crowds defied all the doom and gloom news we continuously hear about young people drinking less and less alcohol of any kind – wine included.
