More California than Cabernet, but genuine intensity and integrity. Also highly transparent and high-definition. Consistently great. — 6 years ago

Another Top 5 Australian Pinot. Will be interesting to compare with Bass Phillip Premium from the same vintage 2008. Same pale tawny colour when poured into the decanter. Intoxicating more dirty aroma than the BP. Loved it. Sour cherry liqueur. Ready to drink but has a future. Savoury tannins. As with the BP with time in the decanter the palate became sweeter but savoury and earthy enough to be a genuine Burgundy contender. Obviously great terroir and excellent wine making like the BP. Beautiful Pinot Noir any way you cut it with enough strength to go another 5 years. Remained fresh and vibrant throughout the tasting experience. The Verdict: Bass Phillip slightly more complex and Burgundian. — 7 years ago

"Time in a bottle"
100% Xarel•lo from a single vineyard, 2005 vintage... a fine premium Cava. 1st fermentation (still wine) is made in oak barrels, 2nd on the bottle, where it ages on the lees 120 or more months (+10 years). Very elegant and with a genuine Xarel•lish-wine touch: herbacious, citric, some nuts and buttery. Persistent bubbles and with a long finish. There is still a lot of life in this bottle! — 8 years ago

This was definitely on the sweeter side but in a good way. I hope to get another bottle soon — 6 years ago

So this one is kind of funny. Ok, so I’ll admit that I acquired some of my my wine from Premier Cru. Thankfully not too much. I can’t say if this is genuine or not but it’s definitely a Rhône and quite nice. What’s funny is the label slapped on by someone at the bottom. “Red Rhône dessert wine”!😲 — 6 years ago

Strong mlf and smoke aromas, deep red colour, good balance of flavours with stewed blackberries, black pepper, and genuine clove flavours (as the label suggests!), nutmeg. High acid high tannin, good structure, you could keep for another 3-5 But hot to trot now. NB this was not navigator, it was 100% Shiraz — 7 years ago

Bit too polished and the Piedmontese character is bit too restrained, a genuine wine with gentle character but maybe little too ripe in this vintage. — 7 years ago

9.5

ripe red and black fruit aromas and gentle cedar and leathery notes from the time spent in oak barrels. Round and genuine on the palate, smooth and with balanced acidity. Full-bodied, polished texture and refined tannins add consistency to this red wine. Very Good — 7 years ago

Smooth, buttery chard. Screw top and didn't hold up perfectly in the frig (lost buttery notes, but also didn't get a bad taste/bitterness) for 2 days. — 8 years ago

We know Scott would rather produce a genuine ice wine, but this is a lovely compromise. Nicely done. — 8 years ago

9.0

The approach is conservative and conventional, but the aroma has a genuine Piedmont character and the body has the density and weight. Old-school but cleaner and smarter than many traditionalists. Bit rough-edged and not as refined and restrained as his Barolos, but much better than most Langhe Nebbiolo's and as good as most other producers's Barolo's. — 6 years ago

9.1

Clean, sleek, three-dimensional fruit, subtle oak, a real Pinot Noir aroma, modern style but not clinical. Has a genuine aromatic authority and presence but not the mineral substance. Much better than most 30 dollar Pinot Noir from the US. — 6 years ago

9.1

Smells Italian, genuine quality material, made from totally mature vines, plenty of reserve and total equilibrium, as good as it gets for a medium-size production. Oak is alluring and matched exquisitely to the material. Strong fundamentals will ensure long-term aging. Not big and overripe, jammy but sinewy and graceful. The aromatic range could go both higher and deeper, the fruit concentration could be little better, and the tannins could be little more polished, but is as good as 30-50 dollar Tuscan. — 7 years ago

9.4

A wine of genuine remark. Barbera from old world vineyards in Pavia. A gorgeous pungent nose rightly suggests a little air once in the glass before tasting. The palette opens with lovely round dark blackberry and ripe currents contrasted with balanced leathery tannins. The finish dries out with an earthy, grassy finish. Wonderful with a hearty beef dish. Love this wine. — 7 years ago

Was worried this might not be the genuine article, but it seems to be. Subtle tastes and some complex notes make this a nice drop. — 8 years ago
