The lineup starts with the 2007 Malbec, forty percent of which was aged in American oak for 10 months. It reveals an alluring nose of black cherry and blueberry leading to a grapy, smooth-textured, forward wine with tons of flavor. Drink this crowd-pleaser over the next three years. It is an awesome value.

"The entry-level 2007 Malbec (a blend of four vineyards) delivers a superb bouquet of pain grille, mineral, floral notes, and black cherry. This leads to an impeccably balanced wine with a sleek palate feel, serious depth, succulent flavors, and a lengthy finish. It will evolve for several years but can be enjoyed now.
In a brief period of time, Achaval Ferrer has become one of Argentina’s benchmark wineries. A visit to the winery in April 2008 was eye-opening. They export 85% of their production, 40% to the USA. The newest releases will not disappoint."

"Brilliant white-gold colored with green highlights. Its white flower aromas such as orange blossom and rose combine harmoniously with its intense fruity notes of pear, mango and passion fruit. On the palate it is fruity and sensual, with an excellent acidity expressed in an outstanding freshness. With great aromatic and taste persistence, characteristic of this variety."

A delicious Australian Pinot Gris that's extremely food-friendly. This single vineyard Pinot Gris from Adelaide Hills is lively, full-flavoured and showing some distinctly Alsace-like Turkish delight, not to mention spice flavours.

"The 2008 ‘The Foil’ Sauvignon Blanc follows in the style of the 2006 Gold Medal wine which was the first produced under the new Riposte label. The wine reflects the region’s reputation for excellent and memorable Sauvignon Blanc.
Shows fruit on the offensive, a thrust of lifted passionfruit and gooseberry combined with a mineral edge. A weapon of power and elegance, with initial fruit intensity tapering cleanly on the palate to a crisp, finely honed acid point."

"The 2004 Shiraz 11th Hour is a blend of fruit from a 60-year-old Greenock vineyard (60%) and a 90-year-old vineyard in Nuriootpa (40%). It was aged 18 months in used French oak. Its dense ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of peppery black currants, roasted meats, new saddle leather, and earth. This opulent, rich, full-throttle wine exhibits a smooth, long finish with a stunning texture as well as richness. Consume it over the next 10-12 years."

Fat and sweet on the palate, this opulent, layered effort has tons of flavor, great depth, and a fruit-filled finish. This hedonistic Shiraz will be at its best from 2010 to 2020.

"The 2004 Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon (which contains 10% Merlot) is sourced from a single Eden Valley vineyard and aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak. Purple-colored, it gives off classic Bordeaux aromas of toasty oak, vanilla, mineral, black currant, and blackberry. Elegant on the palate, it conceals enough silky tannin to evolve for 8-10 years. Nicely integrated and harmonious, this stylish wine should perform optimally from 2015 to 2034.
Henschke, one of Australia’s oldest and most renowned wineries continues to perform at a high level."

"Zonte's flagship red has a colour to match, rich, with almost magenta and purple hued, deep in the middle of the glass. Quite striking indeed. Sensual and Structured. Elegant with rich sweet berry fruits and ready rubbed dark shag tobacco favours. Freshly stewed plum is also evident with a persistent fresh grapey middle palate. The finish serious and mouth filling and the glycerol sweetness is balanced by supple tannins and a soft fresh acidity."

"The Cabernet and Shiraz blends begin with the 2006 Shiraz (70%) – Cabernet Sauvignon (22%) “Koonunga Hill”. Purple-colored, the wine offers meaty black currant, blackberry, and blueberry aromas. On the palate the wine exhibits remarkable focus and structure for its humble price. The fruit is grapy and primary as well as intensely flavored. It should evolve for several years and drink well through 2022 if not longer. It is a fantastic value.
As an aside, Peter Gago presented a 1976 Koonunga Hill to demonstrate the aging potential of this cuvee. The wine was showing a bit of age aromatically but none on the palate. At age 31, this wine (which probably cost several dollars on release) is right at its peak (my score 94 points)."

"Perhaps just a slightly deeper colour here, a deep, purple, concentrated appearance, extending right out to the rim. The nose offers some bramble fruit, presented in a brooding and yet paradoxically vibrant style, with notes of white chocolate and black pepper. Creamy presence on the palate, nicely balance, showing rich fruit again with a welcome presence of acidity. This is impressive, firmly put together, yet supple and seductive. The tannins are succulent and super-ripe, providing a little backbone but otherwise they act quite subtly. Finishes well, with some length. Very good indeed."

Opaque purple, it offers a splendid perfume of coffee, cocoa, damp earth, plum, blueberry, and blackberry. Full-bodied, sweet, and ripe, the wine has layers of fruit, terrific density and an opulent personality. Give it 6-8 years to evolve and drink it through 2030. Drink 2013 - 2030."

"The 2007 Jester Cabernet Sauvignon spent 11 months in oak. Purple-colored, the nose reveals smoke, black currant and cassis. This leads to a medium to full-bodied ripe wine with excellent depth and concentration. Currently the wine is a bit tight but 1-2 years of additional bottle age should round it out nicely. It should be at its peak from 2010 to 2017.
The Mitolo wines are made by the talented Ben Glaetzer."

"A big, bold and earthy Shiraz, this is a more manly proposition than most and it requires you to cook a meaty dish to accompany it. There is a tarry, cassis core here which requires air to release its full array of flavours and it will have a long lifespan for an inexpensive red, too. Once fully relaxed in the glass this is a superb wine with considerable depth and power."

"Yering Station's 2007 Chardonnay was 100% barrel fermented incorporating 6-7% new oak (some large). There was no malo-lactic performed but a lot of batonnage and natural yeasts were used to ferment 25% of the wine. It has pronounced aromas of tropical fruits - pineapple and green mango - with a hint of creaminess. Medium-bodied with medium-high acid and some silkiness, this wine has a medium-long finish.

"A step up is the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah Reserva Privada, a wine which spent 14 months in French oak. The nose reveals spice box, violets, plum, and black cherry. Spicy on the palate with pepper and earth notes, it also has enough tannin to improve for 1-2 years. The lengthy, pure finish suggests that this wine will drink well through 2017.
Concha y Toro is Chile’s largest winery in volume and, remarkably given its size, one of its finest in overall quality. However, the entry level Casillero del Diablo range had more misses than hits. The Trio Series is made by one of Chile’s most renowned winemakers, Ignacio Recabarren, who is also responsible for the other-worldly Terrunyo Carmenere Carmin de Peumo. The Trio wines rank with the greatest wine bargains on the planet."

"Aromas of lead pencil, tobacco leaf, licorice, and creme de cassis are offered in an outstanding, medium to full-bodied, concentrated style. There is tremendous purity as well as flavor dimension. This opaque ruby/purple-colored offering is one of the finest de Fieuzals produced over the last decade. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2022."

"Another sleeper of the vintage, this up-and-coming estate in the southern Medoc has fashioned a deep ruby/purple-hued, opulent, medium-bodied 2006 displaying rich, sweet black currant fruit intermixed with underbrush, licorice, and subtle oak, and a heady finish. Drink it over the next 5-7 years."

"Along with the 1997, the 1999 is the most forward and accessible La Mondotte yet produced. Its opaque purple color is followed by a glorious nose of candied black fruits, graphite, licorice, and underbrush. It is full-bodied and sumptuous, possessing amazing extract and richness for the vintage. Its high tannin is hidden by a wealth of glycerin, fruit, and extract. Moreover, the finish lasts for 35-45 seconds. This is an amazing achievement in 1999. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020."

"In 1999 the botrytis was excellent, making for full, dense wines. D’Arche tends to be a bit that way too in any year, so here we have the vintage marrying the château style, and resulting in a big, copious, fat, smooth wine, without tremendous elegance but with a lot of sweet power."

"The Property on which Chateau de la Chartreuse is built dates back to the 19th century as the residence of St Amand, who was well-known for his mystical healing power. The blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, matured in allier oak barrels, gives a rich, aromatic wine, full of the complex flavours of ripe peaches and paricots. Served chilled, it is delicious with all desserts, especially nuts, dried fruit and soft cheeses."

"René Rostaing is one of the great names of Côte Rôtie. He started out in 1971, with just 0.47 ha of Côte Rôtie vineyards, split between the Côte Blonde and La Landonne. Since that time his holdings have expanded considerably; he inherited 3.5 ha in 1990, from his father-in-law Albert Dervieux-Thaize, who was president of the Côte Rôtie growers association for thirty-three years. These included vines in Fongent, La Garde and La Viaillière. And in 1993 his uncle, Marius Gentaz-Dervieux, left him a further 1.2 ha. Today his estate stands at over 6 ha of Côte Rôtie, including some highly valued plots, featuring in several cases some ancient vines. There is also a 0.2 ha plot of vines in Condrieu."

It is a bright golden colour and has aromas of ripe fruits, including peaches and apricots, and toast oak.

"Intense gold-yellow colour with orange and pink glints. Intense and complex nose: ripe fruit, exotic fruit and grilled almonds. On the palate, very fresh aromas of fruit and flowers to let a final wonderful length. Drink at 8/10 °C as an aperitif, with Roquefort cheese toasts, foie-gras , and of course as a dessert wine with fresh fruit, chocolate or nougat ice-cream with almonds… But this Muscat can also be the unique partner of your meal… soft and natural."

"Lowenstein’s 2007 Riesling Vom Blauen Schiefer is – as its name suggests – sourced from among the ancient terraces of Winningen and neighboring Kobern that are planted on blue Devonian slate. As usual, this displays more brightness and citrus – here lime and grapefruit – than Riesling from some of the other soils characteristic for this stretch of the Mosel. Suggestions of malt and nut oils lend richness and a saline, crustacean savor mingles with wet stone on the mineral side of the ledger, informing a long, both refreshing and intriguing finish. Enjoy this over the coming 5-7 years.
Readers unfamiliar with the influential and inspiring – though not uncontroversial – work of Reinhard Lowenstein in the ultra-steep, terraced, geologically diverse slopes of the Mosel just above its confluence with the Rhine are urged to consult my accounts in issues 163 and 167. Among Lowenstein’s much-discussed ideas – not that I personally treat this as less than obvious – is that Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer Rieslings are more expressive, better-balanced, and have better aging potential – while potentially, for all practical purposes, still tasting essentially dry – when their residual sugar is allowed to rest above legal Trockenheit. Lowenstein’s nobly sweet Rieslings frequently tend toward a creaminess and sense of lees and stuffing consistent with his dry wines, yet they incorporate at their best a sense of delicacy, refinement, and transparency to mineral sensations that seldom apply to any other grape than Riesling or at any significant distance from the Mosel The 2007 vintage Auslesen tend in fact to be quite obvious in their acidity, and are designated “gold capsule” to reflect their high quality, not because there are any corresponding “regular” Auslese bottlings. To minimize confusion or the need to reference A.P. (registration) numbers, Lowenstein prints the initials “G.K.” – or, in the event of a yet riper “long gold capsule” Auslese, “L.G.K.” – on his labels."

"The point. The full stop. The one and only spot. 'Puntino' is all of those things, coming as it does from one of the smallest and most particular grape growing regions in all of Italy. A tine corner of the much-underrated Molise region.
The combination of subtle flowery Malvasia with minerally, lemony Greco is aboslutely delicious. Linguine tossed with parmesan, the smartest olive oil, and perhaps a sprinkling of pan-fried mushrooms and a grating of lemon zest... Such impactful combinations pair thrillingly with this wine. Serve lightly chilled."

"2004 was a great vintage for Piedmont, and the Ricossa shows all the typical charm of a noteworthy, bottle-aged Barolo: initial notes of sweet earth, giving way to rich cherries and raisins. There is tar, a hint of minerality and more intense cherry on the palate, backed up by the typical Nebbiolo tannins and acidity.
A great food wine, designed for the rich, often fatty foods of north Italy – think carbonara, or closer home, butter chicken or shahi paneer; meats, cream and bit of spice."
