Quinta de Chocapalha - Decanter	Red	2015	91	Dec-2019
Review “Chocapalha is the estate of Wine & Soul winemaker Sandra Tavares da Silva’s parents, where she also helps out. This violet-edged Touriga Nacional-based blend is fermented in lagares and aged for 18 months in used French barriques, giving warm toasty notes to the backed black and red fruit.”
Clos Apalta - Decanter	Clos Apalta	2016		Dec-2019
Review “The Clos Apalta vineyard is certified organic/biodynamic and the vines dating back to 1920 on original rootstocks are low-yielding, with the new parcels higher up benefiting from the afternoon shade. A blend of 64% Carmenère, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot, the nose is fragrant and spicy, the fruit deep with natural vineyard grip, a very exciting wine for the next decade or more.”
Howard Park - Decanter			95	Nov-2019
Review “A late summer and long but gentle four-week maceration on skins has produced an intense varietal Cabernet, still bright as a button. Delicate dried herb and cedar top notes animate its fresh, juicy blackcurrant and red cherry and currant core. Pithy fine tannins and juicy acidity bring line and length. Sourced from Mount Barker's Abercrombie vineyard in Great Southern (53%) and the Leston vineyard (47%) in Margaret River.”
Yalumba - Decanter	Yalumba The Caley Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz	2014	96	Nov-2019
Review “From Block D of Yalumba’s Menzies vineyard, Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon (82%) drives this third iteration of the estate's flagship wine. Impeccable, fine-grained tannins and scintillating blackcurrant and red cherry fruit, with cedar, black tea and tobacco lift, give line and length. Barossa Shiraz (from two 1970s-planted vineyards in the eastern ranges and Eden Valley) augments, with concentrated layers of spiced plum, chocolate and earth. Aged for 20 months in French barriques, 40% new.”
Henschke - Decanter			97	Nov-2019
Review “Planted in the 1860s, Shiraz from this iconic 4ha vineyard at 400m was first individually bottled in 1958. The 2005 vintage was an early one, with good winter and summer rainfall then warm, dry conditions producing exceptional balance – there's a beautiful interplay between fruit, fragrance, tannin and acidity. Fine, sinewy tannins, star anise accents and delicate eucalyptus and peppertree riffs are seamlessly interwoven with juicy blackcurrant and plum. Highly expressive, lingering and refined.”
Yalumba - Decanter	Yalumba Y Series Viognier	2018	90	Oct-2019
Review “This Y-Series bottling is Yalumba's entry-level Viognier, and while incomparable to the premium Virgilius, it nevertheless offers great varietal character and complexity at a fine price. Wild-yeast fermentation and three months of lees ageing gives rich creamy weight to the spiced apricot, jasmine blossom and exotic fruit palate, run through by balancing acidity.”
Poggio di Sotto - Decanter			90	Aug-2019
Review “Light cherry nose supported by toasted oak and cedar notes. Generous and warm palate, with a long and savoury finish.”
Ktima Pavlidis - Decanter	THEMA White	2016	89	Jul-2019
Review “50/50 Assyrtiko and Sauvignon Blanc showing how well they can tango. Floral perfume (jasmine) and the smell of stored apples. Zing and minerality balanced against soft, perfumed fruit on the palate. Purity and melody rather than the exhilaration of Santorini.”
Estate Argyros - Decanter	Santorini Argyros Assyrtiko	2016	93	Jul-2019
Review “Appetizingly fresh, zippy nose: lime juice, pears and salty sea-spray. Beautifully fresh, dry and intense with incisive, but modulated, acidity and an elegantly textural feel. Fruit in the citrus spectrum. Palate goes on and on.”
Estate Argyros - Decanter	Atlantis White	2017	91	Jul-2019
Review “Argyros is one of Greece's best wineries, with fine bottles at every price point. This entry-level line offers excellent complexity and mineral interest, with fruit from dry-farmed 60-year-old vines on volcanic slopes. The weighty, waxy palate shows pithy citrus fruit, juicy apple and a saline tang.”
