Campbells - Decanter	Merchant Prince Rare Rutherglen Muscat	N/V	95	Jan-2020
Review “Massively sweet and concentrated yet perfectly proportioned, with a seamless flow of walnut, raisin, spice, dark chocolate, burnt toffee, coffee beans and balsam, plus a freshness that defied description.”
Klein Constantia - Decanter	Vin De Constance	2015	95	Jan-2020
Review “Fragrant, with rose petal, peach and pear aromas echoed on the palate, and hints of Turkish delight and crystalized orange. The silky, rose-oil textured palate has shimmering, fine-tuned acidity.”
Henschke - Decanter	Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz	2010	98	Dec-2019
Review “First made in 1958, Australia’s most famous single vineyard wine was originally planted during the 1860s by Nicolaus Stanitzki, a Henschke ancestor. A fine, intricate web of tannins harnesses equally intricate layers of flavour which build steadily. Juniper, dried herbs, liquorice, charcuterie and a hint of eucalyptus is filled out by sweet, juicy briar on the attack, creamy, mocha-edged framboise to the mid-palate and deep set, very persistent blackcurrant. Very long, and very fluid.”
Tua Rita - Decanter	Redigaffi Toscana IGT	2016	100	Dec-2019
Review “2016 was an exceptional vintage in Tuscany and, according to Stefano, the best in 20 years. The cool night temperatures allowed for beautifully precise aromatics and perfectly ripe, harmonious tannins. This wine expresses the vintage beautifully and is the best Redigaffi I have tasted – simply stunning! Complex and tightly wound, it carries its 15% alcohol really well. There are hints of roasted coffee beans and green herbs on the nose, while the palate is super-concentrated yet beautifully balanced, with very fine-textured tannins. Blackcurrant, smoky plum and liquorice flavours are joined by a lovely freshness. A beauty.”
Klein Constantia - Decanter	Vin De Constance	2015	94	Dec-2019
Review “Very sweet, ripe and tropical, a lovely style. Intensely aromatic, overflowing with honeysuckle, pineapple, and orange marmalade.”
Catena Zapata - Decanter	Nicolás Catena Zapata	2013	95	Dec-2019
Review “With the aim of making an Argentinian wine that could compete with the great wines of the world, Nicolás Catena released the 1997 vintage in a series of international blind tastings that marked a new era for Argentina. Made by Alejandro Vigil, the core of the 78% Cabernet Sauvignon derives from the deep alluvial loam and clay of Lot 3 of La Pirámide Vineyard planted at 950m in 1983. The Malbec is grown in the gravel and limestone of Lot 3 in Adrianna Vineyard, planted at 1,440m at Gualtallary, Uco Valley in 1992. Cool to cold nights result in intense aromatics, complexity and richness. The blend, aged in new French oak and in bottle, both for 24 months, is Nicolás Catena’s favourite, combining his unshakeable faith in Cabernet Sauvignon with the Malbec loved by his father and planted by his pioneering Italian grandfather. Displaying a majestic medley of enticing liquorice spice and subtle oak, the youthful vigour of this blend’s opulent dark berry fruit richness infused with notes of cardamom spiciness confidently expresses its two great Cabernet and Malbec terroirs.”
Il Marroneto - Decanter	Brunello di Montalcino Selezione Madonna delle Grazie	2013	96	Dec-2019
Review “Alessandro Mori has 42 harvests under his belt yet this is the very first vintage in which he has released a Riserva. Sourced from his 1.6ha north-facing Madonna delle Grazie vineyard, it’s a separate bottling of a single botte, which Mori compares to a schoolchild who demonstrates a special gift at a young age. In a single, informal taste, this wine demonstrates its breed, beauty and potential, with dark nuances of forest earth, violet, stone and blue fruit. It’s deep and concentrated but not rich. Racy acidity meets long, fine, powdery tannins with a commanding grip and a finish that just doesn’t quit.”
Tramin - Decanter	Gewürztraminer Alto Adige DOC - 2019	2019	89	Dec-2019
Review “Delicate, aromatic style, with rosewater and honey scents and a hint of oiliness in its texture. The acidity balances it all, while a slightly pithy bitterness to the finish refreshes the palate.”
Ktima Pavlidis - Decanter	EMPHASIS Tempranillo - 2015	2015	90	Dec-2019
Review “Dense, concentrated black fruit and blueberry nose. Sappy fruit palate with american oak accents, well framed tannins and round texture.” (Silver)
Domaine Tollot-Beaut - Decanter	Corton-Bressandes - 2003	2003	94	Dec-2019
Review “Weighing in with 14.5% alcohol one might expect this to be a very atypical Burgundian Pinot Noir. Deeply coloured, it has great concentration and still seems very youthful, with aromas of baking spices, black conserve fruits and a fine leafiness on the nose. Rich, powerful and luxurious on the palate, this is an impressive bottle of mature wine, which is not falling over and will age. Slightly dry tannins to finish but there is enough acidity here to keep all in check.”
