XO Wine Co Reserve Selection Pinot Noir Pinot Noir 2022
G 95
A best vineyard/best barrel selection. Lovely black cherry notes, with dark spices adding a delicious complexity at the front end of this wine. Well crafted, allowing the beauty within to shine without interference – kindly winemaking respectful of the fruit first and foremost. Lovely drinking. 13.5% alc Drink now–2034 Anvers Razorback Road Rosé Rosé 2024 G 94 Pretty pale pink, this Syrah-based Rosé has an earthy, bush floral note to begin, then genuinely attractive flavours of apple and strawberry, expertly balanced acidity and spicy tannin feels, pleasing to the max, even-keeled and moreish. 12.5% alc Drink now–2028 Anvers Wines Wind River Shiraz Shiraz 2022 G 94 The nose is a little shy to begin, but it’s sitting in the shadows a bit and worth looking further. It reveals a bit about what follows, a demure style, blue to black berries, a waft of liquorice, nicely balanced and even palate flavours and feels, decent savoury layers and mouth coating, spicy tannins then energise the finish. Medium bodied and elegant. 13.5% alc Drink now–2030 Artwine Smiling Gamay Gamay 2023 G 94 Lighter colour with floral and sour cherry notes, garden stonewalls in the sunshine, savoury, gastronomic, flavour held with integrated tight acids and fine tannins, lingering impressively. One to take note of. 12.5% alc Drink now–2030 Barratt HSV Gamay Gamay 2024 G 94 Specifying Woodside sourcing, HSV referring to the vineyard. Quite pretty to begin, floral, faint notes of choc-prune, plum flavours to follow, spicy lifts as well, with plenty of energy and acidity in the palate carriage works. Good, pure drinkability with lingering flavours. 13% alc Drink now–2032 Barratt Wines Uley Vineyard Pinot Noir Pinot Noir 2023 G 94 Piccadilly/Ashton district vineyard. Fragrant with florals and pink rose petals, almost bath talc perfumes, lavender to violet also contributing to the palate aromatics and flavour spectrum. One of the more delicate and elegant expressions from the region and vintage. (Tank sample/release date?) Drink now–2032
