Now to the star of the show the launch of the 2014 - generally considered to be the best vintage since the storied 1965 (examples of the 65 Lindemans HR Burgundy still fresh and drinking superbly according to Jim Chatto). Now using up to 66% Rosehill fruit. Bright Ruby with a purple tinge. Primary fruit aromas of plum and cherry with vanillan oak and palate staining intensity. An inner core which will carry this on for decades - Halliday says as close to a 100 year old wine as you are ever likely to see. Most probably but who will be around to check? — 10 years ago

2015 Wine companion wine of the year. $89 at restaurant. 99 points Halliday. It's awesome. I'd give it 97 points though. Definitely have had better wines, but at the price it's pretty darn good. Sold out everywhere. — 12 years ago

Not as opulent as some Central Otago Pinots. This is from Martinborough. James Halliday who has had more Burgundies than most of us called this the "Pommard of New Zealand"! Notes of spice and rhubarb with excellent length. A top quality Pinot. Not cheap at $100+. — 10 years ago

Wowsers. James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge 3rd place in Australia. Insanely good, struck match intensity. Reminiscent of a mighty fine Burgundy. Immediately channelling Erika Turner. — 11 years ago

This is something special - not a big fan of the standard NV offering but having read Halliday in the Oz, thought it was worth a try - fresh with great balance & beautiful fruit/mineral - will definitely get some more for now & later! — 12 years ago

Deep purple in color. Amazingly full bodied and "thick" for a Craiglee which one normally associates with spicy peppery cool climate aromas, but hardly a trace of this in 2003, a drought year. Some cherry vanilla notes. For all of our OS Delectable members, if you ever fly into Melbournes Tullamarine Airport, instead of going south on the Freeway to the city go north for 15 to 20 minutes and you will come to Craiglee. Vines first planted in the 1860s and best known for its marvellous long lived Shiraz. James Halliday tasted the 1872 (not a misprint!!) in 1993 and gave it 95 points! Challenges Biondi Santi Riserva re longevity!! I have a magnum of the 2003 which will stay sleeping for many more years. — 11 years ago

I have been trying to love Wendouree for about 15 years but I am still struggling in the face of expert professional opinions such as Langtons (multiple) and James Halliday who is a long term fan. This 02 Cab Malbec is in the mainstream of Wendouree tasting notes. Iodine and menthol - full bodied but ending up with a slightly bitter and astringent finish. I Just don't get the admiration for Wendouree and still have a lot of bottles in my cellar! 17. — 11 years ago

Plenty of time left in this one. Big fruit, dark colour, plenty of acid - unusual in a 12 year old red.
3/6.5/9.75 = 19.25
