The 2014 Jimmy Watson winner, and what a ripper it is. Needed a decant and a good splash to open up and reveal all the blue and black berry fruit and spice that made this such an enticing wine in its youth. Elegant, savoury and delicious! — 4 years ago

My first extended barrel age bottle from Booker to try. I tried this at pop, then about 4hrs later, and saved a glass for the next day. This was pretty open at pop but seemed to be best after it had been open a few hours (didn’t notice any sort of improvement/decline the next day). The aromatics here were floral (red and purple flowers/potpourri), baking spices (cinnamon) and fondue dipped cherries. It is deceptively dense while sporting a unique elegance about it. Kirsch liqueur, spicy rhubarb, and grilled plum are accompanied by sandalwood to round out the finish. I enjoy more use of whole clusters in these type of wines, but this is pretty delicious for the style. — 6 years ago

Ripper Chardonnay. Polished and complex. Seamless and generous stone fruit with soft citrus frame and tail. Integrated oak. Immensely satisfying after a busy busy night. Thumbs up from all the MH crew. 👍🏼👍🏼 — 9 years ago

Not too jammy. But strong fruit without being sweet. — 7 years ago

Ripper Oz Chard. In a nice drinking window now but it’s acid spine gives the impression that it will still be in great shape in a few years time. Great stuff. — 8 years ago

Deep purple black in appearance. Long sticky legs. Rich plum pepper on the nose. Smooth rich juicy ripe plums, dark chocolate cocoa on the palate with a excellently balanced tannin. Let it air and then enjoy, it’s a ripper! — 9 years ago

Not usually a WA wine drinker but being served was a good thing as I can say I have just enjoyed a ripper of a wine. Only problem now is - where can I get more? — 9 years ago

A ripper, fruit profile singing, acidity singing, better than I remember, 2013 delivering the goods. Wish I had one more to age. Drank 6 in 3 years. — 10 years ago

Wow. 10 years has really mellowed the Ripper. Soft & supple, lots of raspberry. Almost no acid or tannin left. I was looking for something bolder for tonight, but I love this for who it is. ❤️ — 7 years ago

Wouldn’t call it a session, but what a well balanced pale w/ a distinctively citrusy jib. — 9 years ago

CVed 10/11/17. Acker auction $18. Floral nose of rich ripper fruit and palate of nicely resolved buttery and Californian Chard profile. Perhaps a bit rich for me when young but now it's in balance and drinking well. Good buy. — 9 years ago

A complex, yet very well balanced Chardonnay. The spicy wood is there, so is the acid and great ripe fruit. At a 1/3 of the price of its big sister it's a ripper. — 9 years ago
