Chaffey Bros. Wine Co Synonymous Shiraz 2021
G 93
Wonderful value here. The name is a nod to the undeniable fact that Shiraz is very much synonymous with the Barossa Valley, and indeed, the Eden Valley. A barrel selection. The colour is a near opaque maroon. A classic, indeed typical, Barossa Shiraz which is just gorgeous drinking. Generous and approachable, we have notes of chocolate, aniseed, leather and blackberries. Hints of cassis and mocha start to emerge on the palate. The structure is seamless, the wine fresh, dense and well balanced, with very good length and supple tannins. Enjoy this over the next decade. Drink now–2035 Chateau Tanunda Grand Barossa Shiraz 2023 G 93 Medium-deep crimson. Pure blackberry aniseed aromas with dark chocolate notes. Ripe blackberry liquorice flavours, plentiful chalky/ al-dente fine textures and fresh long acidity. Juicy, buoyant and smooth. Very good value. Drink now–keep for a while
Cimicky Wines Grenache 2024

Medium crimson. Red cherry confectionery fresh tobacco aromas with violet notes. Supple and sweet fruited with generous red berry fruit, very good mid-palate viscosity and attractive slinky textures. Finishes chalky and sweet. Drink now–2030
Corryton Burge Cabernet 2022
G 93
Medium-deep colour. Fresh cassis, dark plum aromas with hint roasted walnut/ bush garrigue notes. A classical Claret style with ample blackcurrant, dark plum fruits and underlying cedar complexity. Finishes grainy firm with seductive sweet fruit notes. Drinking well now. Drink now–2032 Corryton Burge The Brigadier Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 G 93 Deep crimson. Intense cassis, mulberry aromas with bush garrigue, hint chocolaty nuances. Richly concentrated with fresh blackcurrant pastille, mulberry fruits, fine grainy tannins. Lovely mid-palate buoyancy and well-integrated acidity. Cedarwood notes at the finish. Drink now–2034 Curator Lone Palm Vineyard Hillside Shiraz 2023 G 93 Vibrant purple. Dried herbs, plums, mocha, mulberries, chocolate, coffee beans and graphite. This is very much black-fruited, but with an overlay of oak. Tightly constructed at the moment, but offers a smooth and seductive palate with concentration and power. Such promise here, a wine of very good length with silky tannins and a lingering finish. Certainly approachable as is, but leaving it to mature for a couple of years will allow it to be seen to advantage. Drink 2027–2040
