100% old vine (115-130 years old) Carignan from Corbieres, mostly redfruits, fresh and lively, great acidity, long finish, terrific example of how good low alcohol (12.5%) Carignan can be!! — a day ago

Toasty new oak, ripe black fruits, structured, just a touch of heat in the finish, I’ve been buying and drinking the Bin 28 for over 40 years, I know it’s no longer all Barossa fruit, but it’s just so consistent and always very fine!! — 4 days ago

I have always enjoyed this cuvée of Pouilly-Fume, which I’ve had multiple vintages of (since my brother imports it), very clean and very nice Loire Sauvignon Blanc!! — 3 days ago

Trying this lovely French Syrah a year later, still a bit reduced, but lovely purity of fruit with mineral undertones, nice balance, a quintessential midweek, no-guilt, drinker!! — 2 days ago

The fruit has unfortunately dropped a lot since last time we tried this, drinkable but not very exciting, meh!! — 4 days ago

Tight and structured old-vine Spanish Grenache, this likely needs 3-5 years more in the cellar, nice balance, medium-long finish, should improve. — 5 days ago
