Shiraz-Viognier Canberra District
Clonakilla
JamesSuckling.com -
It's rare to see a syrah-based wine that delivers
power in such an elegant way. 2015 is a really impressive vintage for
Clonakilla across the board and this, the flagship wine, is every bit as
great as it should be. The aromatic spectrum is vast, from fine
musky florals to white pepper and almost every imaginable spice. Then
there's an incredibly exuberant explosion of fruit: boysenberries,
raspberries, cherries of every shade, and plums covering everything from
red to blue to purple hues; it is full of life. The palate has an
incredibly deep draw, displaying a total saturation of ripe red- cherry,
raspberry and red- plum flavors, chocolate and a dusting of white
pepper. The tannins radiate light and energetic bright from start to
finish. Perfectly ripe, seamlessly balanced and actually very
approachable. |

Pinot Noir 864
Hazeldene Vineyard
Oakridge
JamesSuckling.com -
This has an entrancing nose of ripe raspberries,
dark strawberries and red cherries, as well as pomegranate, blood
oranges, exotic and fresh-ground spices and pristine perfume. So
luxuriant. There’s a lot to take in. The palate has superior fleshy
depth and very fluid mesh-like tannins that wrap long and complete.
Cage-like. It delivers such freshness and depth of flavour. This is a
triumph. |

Pierro Chardonnay
Margaret River
Pierro Estate
James Halliday, The Wine Companion: Pierro Chardonnay Vintage 2018 - Pale, bright straw-green; a
high-quality Chardonnay, showing the marriage of elegance and generosity
that Margaret River can achieve like no other Australian region;
white peach, nectarine and fig use sleight of hand to push whatever
amount of new French oak was used into the background. |

Chardonnay 864
Funder and Diamond Vineyard
Oakridge
JamesSuckling.com -
Very impressively struck purity and power here
in this top-flight Oakridge chardonnay. It has a nose of flinty
grapefruit, white peaches, lemon pith and wet stony minerals. The palate
carries mouth-watering acidity, which is cast alongside powerfully
fleshy fruit. Long, chiselled and deeply intense. There is richness
building up at the finish. |

HUNTING HILL
Chardonnay
Kumeu River
vinous.com/Neal Martin -
The 2007 Hunting Hill Chardonnay has a wonderful,
vibrant bouquet of crushed minerals, citrus fruit, lime and crushed
stone, very Burgundy-like in style and very well defined. The palate is
taut and fresh with impressive mineral drive; the essence of the sea
comes through on the bright, tensile finish. This is a brilliant wine
from Kumeu River, and judging by this showing, it will offer another 15
years of drinking pleasure. |
