Teusner Avatar Barossa Valley 2024 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “Avatar has been a benchmark of Barossa GMS since long before the blend was trendy, and the cool 2024 season has produced a highlight in its hallowed lineage. I love the way Kym Teuner has seamlessly woven these three varieties, delivering bright, tangy red berry fruits, beautifully supported by fine-grained tannins. A masterpiece.” $45. @teusnerwines @barossawines @tyson_stelzer #Avatar #masterpiece #wine ❤️

Brokenwood Graveyard Vineyard Hunter Valley Shiraz 2024 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “From vines of now 56 years of age, the warm, early and small harvest of 2024 has given birth to a Graveyard of density and structure. Blackberries meet black pepper, coal dust and liquorice in a powerfully concentrated Hunter Shiraz, well supported by strong, fine-grained tannins and bright, tangy acid line. With impressive line and persistence, this is a Graveyard not to be dug up for a long time.” $500. @brokenwoodwines @huntervalley.wine @tyson_stelzer #strong #bright #impressive ❤️

Apogee Tasmania Alto Pinot Noir 2024 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie. “Elegant and finely detailed, this is another stellar release offering up red cherry, dried cranberry and subtle, woody spice notes threaded through a silky frame and a dash of dried herbs for good measure. The palate carries freshness, persistence and a savoury nuance within ribs of silty tannin. A delicate wine, a softly spoken Pinot Noir of refinement and grace. Master at work.” $75. @apogeetasmania @winetasmania @mikebennie101 #elegant #detailed ☺️☺️
